Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
I was thinking about this today and thought it might make an interesting topic.
Basing this on the supposition that we make a working Alcubierre drive that doesn't get everyone killed automatically, we still have a problem. Let me prestate first that to my understanding the Alcubierre drive does not impart any inertia or remove any on it's own. It merely warps space to move the craft.
So. we board our hypothetical ship and point it at say - Epsilon Eridani - and away we go. Upon arriving at the star system I see 1 of 3 outcomes.
1. we get left behind as the star speeds away on it's orbit around the galactic center
2. we start falling into the star at incredible speeds due to lack of sufficient velocity for orbit.
3. we get sling-shotted around the star and back out of the system at high velocity.
What does this mean? We will need an incredibly powerful "real space" drive to give us the needed velocity vectors to actually stay in system at our destination. Something we don't currently have. So unless I am missing something, even if we built an Alcubierre driven ship tomorrow, without a real space drive to accompany it we'll still be stuck to this solar system.
Or am I totally missing something? I'm no scientist. Just an armchair space geek.:)
ETA: Doh, and totally forgot to spell check the thread title.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
True - but one would assume that if we have found the technology and engineering needed to create an FTL drive of such power, we can probably build a fairly potent real space drive as well. It may be something like a Inertial Confinement Fusion drive (~10% c, in theory).
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
The trick would be lining up the starting velocity vector within our system so that it lines up correctly on exit as well. That would minimize the delta-V required.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
Even pilots here on Earth need to do navigation and course correction (for things like headwinds, tailwinds and crosswinds and magnetic flucuations messing with instruments).
If you've got the tech to do FTL travel, you'd likely have the tech to navigate, too....
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
I assume, but I might be mistaken, that most of the stars in the Sun's vicinity share similar orbits and therefore a lot of adjustment isn't necessary for point one.
Points two and three are kind of fun. If you "drop out of warp" far enough away from the star, a drive system like VASIMR or even ion thrusters should be enough to nudge into the proper orbit before you fall into the star or get flung back out to interstellar space. And the process of falling towards the star helps conserve fuel as you maneuver towards habitable planets.
Failing that, a good old NERVA engine should do the trick in an emergency.
Warp drive ... it's trickier than you think.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
I have the same question, but about a more realistic problem. Andromeda is coming. How do we:
1. Maintain presence in the Milky Way if all our star systems get ejected?
2. Colonize Andromeda by sending a one-way mission to it?
The Delta-V for galaxies surely must be insane. How do we do that?
ETA: Two days acceleration at 1 m/s² ought to be enough to put you in either galaxy, it's barely 20 times ISS orbital speed, I don't think Epsilon Eridani would be much more of a problem. I would assume firing a large five-stage array of good old chemical engines for a few hours to a day or two would solve both problems.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
^You didn't read the exercise carefully did you?
Regardless, while you may be able to match velocity vectors with the Andromeda galaxy as a whole, you still have to match vectors with a target star in that galaxy and then a planet within that star system. How big a rocket are you up to now?
And hey, it was merely a thought exercise. I never said it was "realistic".
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
The energy needed for the Alcubierre drive is a lot, even with the recent "revisions". Could this not also be used for a drive with more traditional thrust?
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
I've long thought we'd be facing this problem with Andromeda, and while we'd have no problem firing a spacecraft into the galaxy (per my rough calculations), we'd have to send quite more than a single spacecraft that will end up be alone and helpless in an empty galaxy. We'd have to accelerate quite a big chunk of a mass to start a colony that could survive and spread with guarantees.
Thankfully, we'd have plenty of time to prepare and do it, but that will hardly solve all the complications (other star systems should be fairly easier, and regular trips can be of fairly small mass).
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
^A NASA scientist has come up with a revision that reduces the amount of energy required from "insane" to something less than "improbable".
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
Doesn't the warping of space automatically get rid of the problem of inertia? You pull a star system towards your own, and when you transition between A and B, you transition from one reference system to the other. You just MUST be able to equate both inertial systems, otherwise you can't create the warp, can you?
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
Alcubierre Drive? Never heard of it. Sounds like a street in Beverly Hills.
Re: Alcubierre Drive - A thought excercise.
A ship at the center of the warp bubble is in flat space so there are no problems with the changing space-time as you travel.

i really love how great this concealer covers and blends...it looks so natural! the thing i dont like about it is that it doesn't seem to last all day long compared to revlon colorstay and its too creamy for people with oily, acne prone skin. and oh yeah, i don't like pot concealers because its prone to bacteria build up. but since this concealer has amazing coverage, i would buy this again.

I love this stuff! I discovered if about 5 years ago and though I experiment, I always come back to this eventually - especially when the weather gets colder and my Bare Minerals starts to sit on top of my skin. I thought the cream would be too much for my combination skin but it blends in beautifully. I purchased the palette and spatula to help with application and so I keep my fingers out of the pot and I apply with a damp sponge. It does not break me out - which is quite a feat these days! The only down side is that it does not stay well in the hot, humid summer weather (so I use it only as a concealor then) and the pot has a plastic top with tends to crack after a while. On the upside, for the price, you can't do any better. $20 will get you a foundation/concealer that lasts for months.

I love this red neutralizer! I am as fair as it gets and I use 601 to conceal redness and acne. It comes in a pot and normally I would use a brush for sanitation, but since I am just using this concealer on myself, I am just tapping my finger lightly on the surface and then tapping/patting the concealer onto my skin. I love this so much! It does what I wanted Kevyn Aucoin's SSE to do, but the SSE would get cakey and not neutralize the redness effectively. The CS can get a bit separated by the end of the day, but if I remember to powder before I leave the house, it seems to be fine. This has not broken me out or clogged my pores. I love it!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I use this only where I need extra coverage and it looks fabulous. If I wear it all over, I tend to feel greasy--even with my dry skin. I am NC25-30 and bought this in 304S-32. It is not a perfect match, but when I use it only in areas that need extra coverage you cannot tell. I swipe it on eyes and undereyes with a sponge and it makes the perfect base.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
I think my expectation for this product was WAY too high. it covers well and color matches great, but it gets SO dry, especially undereye, it's not that waterproof like other ppl said. i'll not buy it again even though the color matches very well. i'm still trying to figure out how to finish the jar...
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I feel like this is just an above average concealer. It's quite pigmented and can cover up pretty well. But it creases and gets too cakey for my taste. I don't really enjoy wearing it in an Arizona summer because it starts to look icky after you've been sweating.
Still on the lookout for that awesome concealer...
I'll continue to use it until it runs out because it's good enough, but will look for something else to try after.

well, i must say their customer service is great. the product is also great- covers redness and blemishes well and it wears all day long on me even under this hot texas sun!!
however, i think i bought the wrong shade - 303-66a , its too dark on me. but becauise of my good experience, i am ordering another lighter shade. so this one is going on my swap list.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium

Well, this product has the best coverage out there! It conceals and erases every imperfection and blemish on my skin. It is fabulous for someone in need of heavy coverage. Unfortunately, however, this is not a product that is good for the summer. It becomes oily and the matte finish seems to disappear under extreme temperatures. Also, the foundation oxidizes rather rapidly and adopts a slight orange tint. Plus, I'm afraid that this product may be clogging my pores at times. But overall, this is an excellent concealer/foundation.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine

My MUA used this on my wedding day and I really loved the look in my pics. I have 601-65 and I am NW20. I use it as a concealer and truly love this product (even though i like graftobian better). It covers my acne scars/dark circles and I use it to highlight my face in the summer when I'm darker. I have the small pot and it lasts forever because it is so pigmented. I find this one dryer than graftobian which is fine...I use less powder to set and it lasts all day. I get so many compliments when i wear this product. It is money well spent....and camerareadycosmetics has wonderful CS if you need help chosing a color.
Age: 19-24

I get a smattering of freckles in the spring/summer, which isn't the most flattering for my skin tone. I needed a new concealer after my Boi-ing had run out, and I was looking for something with more yellow tones (I'm a medium toned Asian). So I ordered 302-65A without testing it out before (too impatient), and I was NOT disappointed. It covers fantastically, and I love that I can use it as both a foundation AND a concealer. My freckles are hidden and my skin absolutely glows. Using a real yellow-based concealer makes me wonder why I EVER used Benefit, Lancome, etc for all those years.

It's the land where sacred cows freeload through the streets and locals go gaga for Bollywood soundtracks, India's weirdness will totally rock your world.
Travel in India is pretty much like nowhere else in the world. It's mind-blowing, mind-expanding, mind-boggling and anything but mind-numbing. And with about 1.2 billion people sharing the space, there's probably that many experiences to be had. In fact almost any experience you can have on the planet can be found here.
That includes an all-night chai-athon while you wait for a cow to finish its nap on the train tracks. In the north you can ride a camel through the Thar Desert, meet the hippies of Jodphur, and live on lassis. Then there's that little place called the Taj Mahal.
In the south it's all about the go-slow. There are Kerala's canals to cruise, Goa's beaches to go all beach-y on and enough coconuts to build a coconut building out of.
What people say
Nepal and India are truely amazing - the food, the people, the culture. Purely honest and loving all in the same breath. Note - hold on tight while in Tuk Tuk.....!

India was a trip of a lifetime! From the stunning Taj to the colourful rituals on the Ganges - our Local Leader went above and beyond to create incredible experiences for all of us!

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A California woman who got kicked in the face after trying to climb into the giraffe exhibit at a Madison zoo has paid a fine and apologized.
Police say 24-year-old Amanda Hall, of San Luis Obispo, California, tried to get into the pen at the Henry Vilas Zoo late Saturday afternoon.
Hall tells WISN-TV the 2-year-old, 12-foot-tall giraffe named Wally ate some grass from her hand, licked her, then kicked her in the chin. Police ticketed Hall for harassment of zoo animals, which carries a fine of $686.
Hall tells WISN-TV she's paid the fine. She says getting kicked in the face seemed like punishment enough.
The police report says Hall told officers she climbed into the exhibit because she loves giraffes.

The return of a hung parliament at the 2010 general election is a serious possibility. But due to Westminster's limited recent experience of parliaments under 'no overall control' there is little institutional memory in Whitehall or Westminster, and even less public understanding, of what the implications would be. This article sets out to analyse the principal challenges that would be faced by government, opposition, parliament and the media in the event of a hung parliament. Drawing on experience from Canada, New Zealand and Scotland, we discuss the difficulties that may arise during the immediate government formation process and in the course of making minority or multiparty governance work on an ongoing basis. We conclude that a hung parliament need not undermine political stability or effective governance, but that all actors would need to adapt their behaviour and should therefore prepare carefully for this eventuality.

Dr. Brent Ridge is a medical doctor with a holistic approach. While practicing, he specialized in geriatrics where he promoted healthy aging. It was very refreshing to speak to Dr. Brent, as his patients called him, because he's an inspiring individual who left his daytime job to pursue his passion – running an organic goat farm.
Naturally Savvy Guide, Andrea Donsky: Brent, can you tell me how the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Medical Center in NYC came to fruition?
Dr. Brent Ridge: My background is Geriatric Medicine. I am on the faculty of Mount Sinai (where the word "geriatrics" was first coined) and decided to go back to business school at NYU. I've always believed that just because you're getting older, doesn't mean you aren't productive. So, while in business school, I came up with the idea to create a medical center where we could study the process of aging more in depth. The idea of creating such a Center at Mount Sinai had been in discussion for several years but had languished. I began working on the medical center project about 5 years ago and about 4 years ago I sought to find a donor. My number one choice was Martha Stewart. No one could ever argue that Martha is not vital and productive!
And so the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai was born. The mission of the center is to create new clinical, business and educational models which can be applied anywhere. The center strives to provide the best clinical care possible for our aging population and patients from around the world visit the Center to see the doctors there. Ultimately, it's purpose is to promote and bring forth health care resources for older adults and to enhance the public perception of aging.
Andrea: Can you explain the connection between Geriatric Medicine and Complimentary Medicine?
Dr. Brent Ridge: Geriatric Medicine is as holistic as you can get when it comes to allopathic medicine. The issues surrounding an older person are quite complex as you're dealing with several facets of their life including family and caregivers. As Geriatricians, one of our primary roles is serving as co-ordinators of care since many of our patients see 5 or 6 doctors at once, and geriatricians are trained to look at the whole patient and the patient within the context of their personal environment.
Andrea: What type of holistic approaches does the center incorporate?
Dr. Brent Ridge: The center incorporates several holistic practices including:
As you can see, Martha Stewart Center for Living's practices include everything from mind, to body, to spirit.
Andrea: Let's talk passion. You left your full time job as Vice President for Healthy Living for Martha Stewart Living Omnimmedia to follow your passion and start an organic goat farm in upstate NY in hopes of one day making it biodynamic. Can you tell me a little bit about what inspired you to do this?
Dr. Brent Ridge: We bought the farm about 2 years ago while I was still working for Martha. When we first bought the farm - named Beekman 1802 - our intention was to take advantage of it for own personal use and ultimately make it biodynamic — which we knew was a long term project. So in the interim we decided to focus on what we already had and were good at — raising our goats.
We were drinking the goat's milk ourselves and using it to make goat cheese and yogurt, but when we sought to look at what else we can do with the goat's milk we decided to make 100% chemical-free soap (Beekman 1802 Original Goat Milk Soap) We started by giving it out to our friends as gifts – which they loved. Then two Christmases ago I gave Martha some soap and shared it with her stylist. Shortly afterward, I got the call from her stylist saying it was the BEST soap she had ever used and asked me if she could sell some in her salon, the Eva Scrivo Salon in NYC.
The farm had been our source of escape and pleasure. We never thought of the farm as a business but that's what it has turned out to be!
Andrea: How does Beekman 1802 inspire others?
Dr. Brent Ridge: We saw firsthand how fascinated people were with our farm so we decided to create a community centered around what we can do on the farm. We're farmers and we learn from other farmers so we created a social network with four of our neighbors where each of us can share their gardening tips. We just started a contest on our website where anyone can participate. It's called "The Oldest, Largest Garden Party in America's History" where people can share their gardening tips and stories and the winner will receive a 37-piece Ultimate Yard & Garden Tool Set from Fiskars.
We also wanted to build a co-operative among the local artisans in our area. There are so many brilliant craftsmen and our goal is to create a vibrant economic structure for them. For example, in addition to our goat milk soaps we carry items such as hand woven linens and letterpress stationary featuring Beekman 1802's very own wildflowers.
We want to inspire other people to do small things. A little bit goes a long way. Whether you are planting an entire garden or growing an herb plant in your apartment, every little bit counts.
Andrea: How do you maintain balance in your life?
Dr. Brent Ridge: We're launching a new business, so technically I'm still working so it can be hard to find that balance. However, as passionate as I was working with Martha – I'm even more passionate about working for myself. I believe if you follow your passion – you're going to be successful. Plus, once you're truly following your passion – it's really no longer "work".
Andrea: How natural and/or environmentally-friendly is Beekman 1802?
Dr. Brent Ridge: When we bought the farm it hadn't been farmed for years so we decided to maintain its organic nature. We try to keep things as self-contained as possible and try to be as self-sufficient as possible by growing and raising our own food. We recently had some friends over for dinner at our city apartment and as we were about to eat, we realized everything on our plate was something we planted at the farm and grew in our very own garden.
We spend most of our time at the farm in the summer and in the winter we stay in Manhattan because it would be environmentally incorrect to keep the main house of the farm open. We shut down the house from January to March because the heating bill would be cost prohibitive and wasteful. However our goal is to someday hopefully change that by putting solar panels on the roof and geothermal flooring in the farmhouse.
Andrea: Thanks Brent.

Dark of the Moon Theatre Display
If you hit your local theatre you might have a sweet new display to take in as it seems a new Transformers: Dark of the Moon display is starting to hit theatres. The display is based off of the Optimus Prime banner only with a more 3D that is pretty cool to see in person as the image from Winston Ray (thanks) shows. I just got back from seeing Priest (it was so-so) and my theatre has one set up too so probably rolling out pretty fast everywhere.

effective edge ? what do the numbers mean ?
I have a a question about board specs , what do the numbers mean for effective edge ? Ex I have a 2011 gnu carbon credit and the effective edge is 119mm trying to figure out what it means ...my I just ordered a Lib. Tech T Rice pro 155cm and has the same effective edge being a 1cm difference on the board Length ..it maybe a stupid question but I'm curious I would appreciate some feed back ... Thank you ...1 more question is there a difference in a 2011 BTX on a gnu CC to a 2014 Gnu CC ? According to EVO.com one the 11' is a rocker where as 14' is listed as camber / rocker / camber ...to me It looks like the 2011 is the same as the 2014 am I am idiot or do they have there facts messed up ?
I think the formal definition is the length of the edge that touches the snow when the board is flat and not tilted.
I would imagine its the curved length between the widest points from the nose to tail.
so a board with blunt nose and tail and smaller radius side cut would have longer effective edge than a board with regular nose and tail with bigger radius side cut at the same length.
Generally, the longer your effective edge, the more grip the board will have when carving. Race boards are 170+ cm for a reason!
Thank you for that info and the pic it makes sense
I must have read it backwards. Maybe I'm dyslexic. :unsure:

unGallery Version 2.2.2
WP v3.5
After install everything worked OK...
I added the jQuery call that the plugin instructed to the
head section of the header.php file.. (to get FancyBox) and.. it almost worked.
The issue seems to be that the plugin UnGallery calls for is an outdated version of FancyBox.
OK... so I removed the added code from the header.php file, turned off FancyBox in UnGallery . .. and installed FancyBox for WordPress (Version 3.0.2 | By José Pardilla ).
I then started getting duplicate calls for jQuery. TWO calls and the material associated with it, would show up above the Post Title, then one more would come in below the post title (as it should be).
I tried uninstalling the UnGallery plug in - and turning the new FancyBox plug in off, even re-installed the theme to be SURE I was not somehow missing something in the header.php file that I'd mistakenly inserted... and after re-installing UnGallery - there are the three calls for jQuery again (two before the post title, and one afterwards).
There is even a little box in the FancyBox plug in that should be checked if jQuery is being called twice - I have left it check-marked.
One tell seems to be that when I re-installed UnGallery the default paths to the image files were "automatically" already filled in..
I wonder if that's a "slow cache" issue that I'm seeing but is not really there, or if that is something in the DB that has not been properly removed from the first install of the plugin?
I'm a little twitchy about dropping tables - have lot one too many a blog that way - because I don't know enough to rebuild them if needed.

For readers, a print copy of issue one can be hard to find and expensive to buy. But those rules don't apply to tablets, laptops and smartphones both for comics fans and those curious about characters they may have seen in film or on television.
Part of that fascination with superheroes and their growing cachet in popular culture is why Marvel Entertainment, home to the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Avengers, among others, is making more than 700 first issues available to digital readers starting Sunday for free through the Marvel app and the company's website. After Tuesday, they'll be sold for $1.99 to $3.99 per issue.
The titles go from the 1960s Silver Age to contemporary issues with characters including Wasp, Mr. Fantastic, Power Man and Iron Fist, said David Gabriel, senior vice president of sales.
"This is aimed at attracting fans from all walks of life — those who know our characters from the big screen, those who were readers but fell out of the habit and our long-term fans too," he said. "We believe that if we get those fans in the door, they'll stay and help grow this industry, with purchases both in comic stores and via digital comic outlets."
The publisher went through its catalog of more than 13,000 titles that are already available digitally and plucked out the No. 1 issues with historic ones like "Amazing Spider-Man" by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko or the "Fantastic Four" by Lee and Jack Kirby as well as modern titles like "Civil War," Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men" and characters and teams like the Uncanny Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, too.
"We never want fans to feel like they need to have read it all. Of course we want them to want to check out those stories, but the beauty of these No. 1 issues is that each is an entry point," he said. "So with a character like Iron Man, you can choose if you want to start with the recent 'Iron Man' series from Kieron Gillen or go back a few years to when Matt Fraction launched 'Invincible Iron Man' or even before that."

May 23, 2011
Astrophysicist Roger Blandford, director of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at SLAC and Stanford, has received a prestigious Humboldt Research Award.
Valued at 60,000 Euros (about USD 85,000), the award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation supports cooperative research by scientists visiting specialist colleagues at German research institutions.
"I'm looking forward to spending some time this summer working on high-energy X-ray and gamma ray astronomy with colleagues at three Max Planck Institutes in Garching, near Munich," Blandford said. The institutes are the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and the European Southern Observatory. He also expects to use the prize money to return to Germany for research trips in succeeding years.
Blandford has made significant theoretical contributions in diverse areas of astrophysics and cosmology. He has authored fundamental papers on topics such as gravitational lenses, the origin of cosmic rays, black holes and gravitational radiation. A hallmark of his career has been his strong emphasis on relating his theories to the interpretation of observational data and his ability to devise simple models of sometimes highly complex phenomena. He has been at SLAC since 2003.
Blandford has also been active in the astrophysics community, most recently as chair of ASTRO 2010, the once-a-decade survey sponsored by the National Research Council of the National Academies of Science that identifies the highest-priority astronomy and astrophysics research activities for the next 10 years.
Blandford currently holds three positions: Pehong and Adele Chen Director, KIPAC; Professor of Physics at Stanford and SLAC, and Luke Blossom Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation was originally created 18 months after the death of its namesake, nature researcher and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). After two economic interruptions, the current foundation was established by the Federal Republic of Germany in late 1953.
Each year the foundation grants up to 100 Humboldt Research Awards. Over the years, more than 24,000 scientists from more than 130 countries have received Humboldt Research Awards, Fellowships and other honors to spend time doing research in Germany.
Humboldt himself was one of the most famous scientists of his time. Between 1799 and 1804, he travelled throughout Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time in a manner generally considered to have been a modern scientific point of view. It took him 21 years to publish his account of the journey in an enormous set of volumes. The masterpiece of Humboldt's advanced years – the five-volume "Cosmos. Draft of a Physical Description of the World," which was published from 1845 to 1862 (posthumously) – was unique in its comprehensive approach. His work was so innovative and inspiring that, according to the Foundation's website, researchers in the natural science disciplines of physical geography, climatology, ecology and oceanography all consider Humboldt to be their founder. Humboldt was also known for sponsoring other young scholars, which became the purpose of the foundations that bore his name.
Humboldt's legacy is extensive. In addition to the foundation, many New World plants, animals, geographic features, towns and schools are named after him, including Humboldt County, California, and the Humboldt ocean current west of South America.

Powercuts interrupt Richards Bay coal trainsComment on this story
Johannesburg - A power failure has caused the interruption of railway export of coal from Richards Bay, Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) and the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) said in a joint statement on Monday.
The RBCT suspended all its operations on Friday.
"The failure was caused when uMhlatuze Municipality experienced faults on both cables that feed the Hydra Substation which in turn feeds RBCT," said the two companies.
"Although the export coal service has been suspended, the general freight business still continues unhindered."
The TFR, RBCT, Eskom and the municipality were working to fix the system.
The system was expected to be partially functional within the next three days.
It would fully operational by the week ending February 9. - Sapa

a real good candy/cookie?
Yankee Plus Dec 2015
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (I use skim to cut out fat and calories)
- 3 TBSP cocoa
- 1 stick of butter (yes, that's right, sounds like a Paula Deen recipe, huh?)
Instructions:Combine all of the above in a pan, stirring occasionally until butter is melted. Allow the mixture to become a rolling boil.
At this point, some might pull out there candy thermometer and watch it get to some point on the stick (which I personally never do), so instead I use the very scientific method of counting to 60 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, etc) and then shutting off my burner.
Once the heat is turned off, add the following and stir:
1 cup peanut butter (I always use the reduced fat version)
3 cups Quick Oats
1 TSP vanilla
Once all is stirred together, drop onto aluminum foil or parchment paper and allow to cool.
Then, take the pan to the sink and lick as much as you can off the spoon and the pan before reaching the sink. Once at the sink, I recommend immediately putting the pan and the spoon under running hot water to prevent you from further blowing your calorie counter for the entire millennium.

Lyric Meaning
An example of the "scientific" rhyme style that Just Ice used on a couple of songs from his previous album. These lines actually come from "Cold Gettin' Dumb" which was his most recent hit at the time.
Having his old rhymes interrupted by KRS One (who prompts him to kick some new lyrics) is more than just a novel way to start the song. It also draws a line under his previous work and marks the beginning of a new era. No more futuristic beats and scientific rhyming. Just Ice and KRS are all about the boom bap.

Good job on the Monitor purchase! That's an excellent model for people who don't want to completely break the bank. Unfortunately whatever calibration they did at the factory is not what we are referring to. You have to get a small hockey puck thing and place it on the monitor maybe every 1 or two months and run some calibration software. You also have to make some decisions about what your calibration targets are going to be. One thing I see often is monitors are shipped with brightness set pretty high. If you tweak your pictures to look good on those settings they will print too dark. It took me awhile to figure out how to bring the brightness down to a reasonable level. Just adjusting brightness didn't do it. I eventually figured out you must drop the values of the R, G, B channels first to a roughly okay range and then go and tweak the brightness. Then go back and tweak the R, G, and B channels for color temperature/balance. Otherwise I was finding I could drop the brightness all the way to zero and still not meet my luminance target of 80 cd/m2-100 cd/m2. Spyder and Xrite both make tools for calibrating monitors.
Don't leave your enlarger lenses in a humid dark environment. You would be inviting fungus. If you can't do something about the humidity in a cellar or basement then maybe you can get away with removing lenses, negatives, etc from the environment when you aren't working.
You don't necessarily need a dark room. If you find a pro lab that does good developing and scanning then you can use them as a benchmark. To be honest with you I live in the US and I bought some Ilford film and sent it back to England to get processed by Ilford. If you do that and get developing, scans and even some prints you will have a benchmark to work towards. Developing, scans, and a wet print would be better, but a properly developed roll and some good scans are invaluable as well. You've got to isolate errors in your workflow.
Dr Croubie, I am assuming your education is in science and perhaps even medicine. If you want to really start analyzing negatives and scans from negatives you need to treat the process like any other scientific experiment. You have your controls and you have your variables. You want as few variables as possible. You also want to eliminate confounders and have overall good study design. If you can eliminate error in metering, developing, scanning, and viewing on a monitor then you can start changing one variable at a time and analyzing results. And obviously if you had to do this experiment for work or a paper to be published you would want to use only one film and developer to make setting up the experiment manageable and easy to analyze.

Sixtinus Amama
Sixtinus Amama (also Sextinus) (13 October 1593 – 9 November 1629) was a Dutch Reformed theologian and orientalist. Amama was among the first to advocate a thorough knowledge of the original languages of the Bible as indispensable to theologians.
He was born on in Franeker, in the Dutch province of Friesland. He studied oriental languages from 1610 at the University of Franeker and then at the University of Oxford, attracted there by John Prideaux.[1] In 1614 he took up also the study of Arabic at the University of Leyden where he made the acquaintance of Thomas Erpenius.
In 1616 he became professor at Franeker in literature and oriental languages. Subsequently, however, he was suspected of Arianism, and underwent an investigation by Sibrandus Lubbertus and Johann Brogermann. When Erpenius died in 1625, Amama was called to take his place, however the Estates of Friesland refused permission for him to leave, but did increase his remuneration.
He died in Franeker.

Gordon Strachan urged Scotland to be "braver" after his first match as manager of the national side ended in a 1-0 friendly win over Estonia at Pittodrie on Wednesday.
Strachan was brought in to replace Craig Levein, sacked last month after Scotland's disastrous start to 2014 World Cup qualifying left them bottom of European Group A with just two points from their opening four matches.
But a first-half goal from Charlie Mulgrew gave Strachan a winning start, although the former Scotland midfielder saw room for improvement.
"We need the players to be a bit braver and find the good players who can go and take someone on instead of playing square so often," Strachan explained.
"Players were picking up good positions but we need to find them earlier."
Strachan was given a warm welcome by Scotland fans at the ground where he won 15 trophies playing for Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen side in the 1970s and 80s.
But Strachan, who went on to win trophies in England with Manchester United -- where he again played under Ferguson -- and Leeds United, admitted to nerves before his Scotland bow, having previously not managed a win in any of his opening games as manager of Coventry, Southampton, Celtic and Middlesbrough.
But Mulgrew, a player Strachan sold when in charge of Celtic, helped change all that when he clipped Charlie Adam's free-kick past Sergei Pareiko in the 39th minute for his first Scotland goal.
Estonia, with the game still goalless, had chances too through Taijo Teniste and Tarmo Kink but they were both denied courtesy of fine saves by Scotland keeper Allan McGregor.
Afterwards, Strachan declared himself satisfied with the performance of his players on a heavy Pittodrie pitch.
"I'm more relaxed now and I'm really happy," he said. "It's been a terrific night for me and I must admit no matter what clubs I've been at, I think that's the most emotional and nervous I've been before a game.
"There were some good individual performances and I think everyone knows how the pitch was, it was a problem sometimes.
"We asked individuals to take people on. The surface wasn't great for that but they tried it."
Strachan added: "You could see the players who play regularly. The guys who play regularly did a good job. They did a lot of thing we wanted them to do but some of the things were nearly impossible because of the surface.
"It was a night for brave players on the ball as well as brave players at the back. It was a horrible day and the surface was bad and they played against different types of players.
"There were some things that I really liked and were encouraging and things that I need to work on.
"But overall there was a lot to like and we made chances."
Next up for Scotland is a World Cup qualifier against Wales -- who won 2-1 in a friendly at home to Austria on Wednesday -- at Glasgow's Hampden Park in March followed by a trip to Serbia.
And Strachan, bidding to take Scotland to their first major tournament finals since the 1998 World Cup in France, said he'd spent more time assessing Scotland's next two opponents than he had Estonia.
"For the last two days we have done a lot of work in terms of what we might be up against in the next two games in six weeks' time than what we would be facing tonight (Wednesday)," he explained.
"I saw things against Estonia that worked, things that aren't going to work and things we need to work on."
