Valentines Look Part Deux
Happy Hump Day once again. Last night I spent the whole evening playing with makeup…coming up with a new look for valentines. My boyfriend was out with the boys so I had my room all by myself. I was really productive actually…filming and editing 2 videos. I was trying to do a really funky platinum/smokey fuschia eye but it didn't really work out. Instead, my experimenting lead to a pretty white/fuscia/purple look that gives a nice pop up color. Sorry but there's no floating bear in this vid…but hopefully you guys will still enjoy!
What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-chill e/s
-full fuschia blush
-Urban Decay Deluxe e/s in zero
-Revlon colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-kohl pencil in smolder
-eyebrow pencil in spiked
-cork e/s
-Ardell Invisiband Wispies Lashes
-Duo lash adhesive
-L'Oreal Telescopic mascara
-Smashbox Color Correcting primer
-select moisture concealer in NW37
-mineralized satinfinish foundation in NC42
-sculpt & shape duo in lightsweep/shadester
-sunbasque blush
-mineralized skinfinish in light flush
-cremestick liner in plum soft
-capricious lipstick
-clear gloss from dual ended Victoria's Secret lip stain

Topic: Heroku Completely Destroying Site
App looks perfect on local machine. Once it is pushed to Heroku, the app appears completely different for different users. For some users the app appears perfect, for others it appears completely messed up beyond recognition. The problems are not browser, OS or device specific. As well, the appearance of the app changes every few hours, and the changes appear to be completely random. Seems to be a Heroku error, but we can't figure anything out. Any ideas out there?

Love Your Body Day
Today I will be participating in the Love Your Body Day that Ashley from Two Eyes in the Mirror started. Go to Ashley's blog to read her post and see who else participated. Find out how we are all celebrating our bodies today.
When Ashley first suggested this topic, I was hesitant to participate. If I talk about what I love about my body, that means I need to revisit how I got here. Which means bringing up some painful feelings that I continue to struggle with on a daily basis. But the best way to deal with these things is to confront them head on, right?
I've always been an athlete. As a child I was a gymnast and a runner. I started to notice that my friends and I didn't share the same body type. My thighs were bigger. Much bigger than my friends. I remember when I was 8 years old, sitting next to my best friend in church. Our legs dangling beneath us, flattened against the wooden bench. I thought, "Wait a minute, why are my legs so much bigger than hers?" And that's where it all began; comparing myself and my body to others. It wasn't just the comparing, it was how I accepted their bodies as the norm and my body as the odd and strange one. To this day I struggle with comparisons.
Here's what I know to be true. We are all different. My body is different from yours. But that doesn't mean that mine is somehow below standard or not normal. I did that to myself. I told myself that and then I believed it. So, I take responsibility for how I feel about my body today. I love every part of it. Even when I feel down, I know that it's up to me to feel better.
I love my strong legs and my athletic body. If I wasn't so strong I could never do this:
Or this:
And I'm proud and confident and celebrate my curves and my muscles. Because that's me. That's who I am. And I love this body!
Now it's your turn. Love the body you're in. Don't waste a second of your life telling yourself bad things about your shape. We are in charge of how we feel about ourselves. Remember that when the hormones kick in or your day gets difficult.

Great post, Tracy. I love your body, too. (Oops... that didn't sound right...).
No, really: curves and muscles are nothing to be embarrassed about; they should be a source of pride. Ultimately what matters is physical health and self-happiness. You've got both and we should all admire that.

i honestly had that exact same moment. i was sitting on a bench at a park, with a few girls from my soccer team and i remember thinking the exact same thing. and i was young...too young to think that way. you are gorgeous and i can't believe the sheer strength it must take to do what you so!

So true! Being a gymnast always made me feel bigger than everyone else, but it was just because I was so much more muscular so I actually enjoyed it most of the time, ha ha. It meant I was better than some of the boys in gym class ;) [I would always beat everyone in the fitness tests, except for the mile...

I'm so glad you decided to write this. I, for one, LOVE your body. I'd kill to have your thighs (I've been doing lunges and they're shaping up a bit...so maybe someday...I can have the Tracy thighs). I remember having the leg comparison moment, too. I also remember looking at this girl's thighs when I was sitting next to her in high school, and I was like, "Huh. They're kinda big!" But she was still a pretty, popular girl. So that was kind of the turning point for me. I realized that, O-M-G, you can be beautiful and gorgeous AND still have bigger thighs. Amazing.
I think the biggest shame is that, right now, athletic bodies aren't trending. Slim toothpick limbs and bones and ribs are what's considered most beautiful to seemingly most people in the U.S. And that's probably the media's fault.
I love your body, too. If that wasn't obvious already.

I can totally identify with this. My thighs have always been HUGE, and it made things worse when I started comparing them to everyone else's and feeling bad about it.

I guess I always had the opposite problem -- I have always been smaller than everyone else, so everyone made fun of me for having a teeny tiny baby body. I mean, I love it now, but I always thought I was, like, underdeveloped or something.
P.S. You know I love seeing picture of you doing your thaaaaaaang, girl.

I also just love this post - it's such a beautiful reminder to all of us, girls...we can get so caught up in the media portrayal of what is "beautiful" that we neglect taking care of and loving ourselves. It is a constant struggle, but I hope that we can continue to support and love one another (especially here in blog-o-sphere) :)

Skip to comments.SpaceX: Private launch to space station now delayed indefinitely
Posted on 05/02/2012 4:19:15 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican
The first commercial cargo run to the International Space Station is off for next week.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, announced the latest delay Wednesday. The company did not set a new launch date.
A Falcon rocket carrying a Dragon capsule was supposed to blast off from Cape Canaveral on Monday. But additional software testing was ordered. The test flight is already three months late.
It will be the first time a private entity launches a supply ship to the space station. Only governments currently do that. NASA used to stockpile the space station through the shuttles. But the fleet was retired last summer. The space agency wants commercial providers to take over that role.
(Excerpt) Read more at csmonitor.com ...
The SpaceX Dragon capsule is prominent in this photo of the Falcon 9 rocket in its lowered position at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's launch complex in Florida.
I wonder if NASA will ever be satisfied with the software?
Lots of great pics on their updates page.
Found this on spaceflightnow.com.
Next Monday's SpaceX Falcon 9 launch date in doubt
There is an Atlas 5 launch tomorrow at 2:46pm EDT (11:46 PDT).
Might want to start a live thread tomorrow morning for it.
Back to a regular tagline
The software issue has been repeatedly cited as the reason for the delays for about 6 months now. It doesn't sound like a difficult problem yet it remains, apparently, insurmountable. Is the issue technical or political?
"It doesnt sound like a difficult problem yet it remains, apparently, insurmountable. Is the issue technical or political?"
The didn't employ enough Muslims.
Somehow the Angry Birds interface didn't cut the mustard?
Commercial providers are NOT CAPABLE of taking over and never will be.
They bought the Angry Brides version by mistake.
That doesn't look big enough to get 3 people off in an emergency. Maybe 2.
Oh horse hockey. SpaceX has come a lot farther more quickly than CxP would ever had. SpaceX used what works, not re-inventing everything because they (CxP) had buckets full of money.
Cargo and passenger runs to LEO is a great example of how commercial providers can free up NASA to do the blending edge stuff.
Oh, and NASA uses commercial providers for space to ground communications for a number of missions.
So much for commercial Space!
Tell that to Boeing.
I see you are already taking an assbeating for such a silly comment. So I'll just add this.....NASA did it all themselves, no engineers from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Teledyne, Sperry Rand, Motorola, Bendix, Hamilton Sunstand or any other of the multidude of vendors had the slightest input. It was all NASA. Snort.
It's probably political, NASA is populated by preferentially hired and promoted Affirmative Action bureaucrats that too often do nothing more than try to impede the work of others. And drink coffee and use free Internet.
Not when they have government handlers screwing with them constantly.
Get the government out of the Space industry. It doesn't fit anything in Art 1 Sec 8.
Whoa. I'm using the blue shirt dude in the pic for reference. I don't even want to think about how 7 people fit in there.
The Dragon is about the same diameter as the Apollo capsule, but longer.
The the seating arrangement, you can look it up online to see the details. Of course, everyone is pretty much in a fetal position for the duration, just like Mercury.
I certainly don't have a problem with that. The only stretch of the Constitution possible is for national defense, and ISS ain't that.
Here come the bizarre comments.
Because anyone that rides it, has got to have great big brass ones.
You left out "and complain endlessly about private corporations and that evil profit thing."
"Commercial providers are NOT CAPABLE of taking over and never will be."
Right, because the government is all-knowing and all-powerful. Hogwash!
(BTW, don't forget that the majority of satellite launches these days are by private companies!)
I remain confident that SpaceX will not only resolve these issues, it will also launch manned missions within two years.
What kind of payload can these things carry?
Computing power and automated super-precise manufacturing today is practically free compared to the Apollo years. We are also in a natural gas boom so the initial fuel cost will be relatively cheap. I don't think we are too far off from discovering and extracting new fuels outside our planet using robotics. It was only a matter of time until a few wealthy investors saw this potential.
I'm and engineer and am seriously considering moving cross country for a position in this industry.
Of course the government has the ability to derail everything at a whim for its own self interest. What they hate the most is being caught in a lie or when their incompetence is uncovered. What they fear here is articles highlighting how much cheaper private firms can bring up payloads. It will make some people think and ask questions about what else they're doing wrong...
Whatever you do when space traveling it is wise to avoid wearing red shirts
Don't kid yourself, software can be incredibly complex, and diagnosing and removing a problem is not as simple as it always sounds or seems.
With any complex system, you reach a point where, the odds of reparing one problem increase the likelihood of introducing new ones. This is true of any complex integrated system.
Now, I don't know if this is the case with this, or if its just politics in play. However, I can tell you, that the quality standards that NASA is likely trying to enforce are far beyond what most private enterprise companies would in house do. That's not a bad thing folks, its the nature of the beast.
However, even if this launch is delayed another 6 months and winds up a year late, keep this in mind:
The Shuttle Program was officialy laucnehd on January 5, 1972, with an intended goal of 50 launches per year. The first launch of the first shuttle occurred on April 12, 1981. As we all know it never got near 50 launches a year, and each launch cost over $250 Million when the program began, and around 1/4 a BILLION when the program ended. Not only that, but flaws in the rocket design, which eventually cost the Challenger crew its lives, were detected and reported by engineers in 1977,1978 and 1979, but no corrective measures were taken to solve the problems. After Challenger 2.4 BILLION was spent to fix known issues.
In total the program launched 135 missions in 11 years, 2 failed as we know catastrophically with loss of the orbiter and crew.
Understand the shuttle is a far more complex animal that this project, the shuttle was reusable, manned etc etc, however, even if this winds up with a year of delays before launch it will still be far more effective than NASA's efforts.
Understand also, this is not meant as a stab at NASA, they are a fine organization, some of the smartest minds in the world work there, unfortunately though they are managed it appears by calibre that is far lower in its competence. It also has the overhead of being part of a political system, that doesn't make things easy to happen. When founded, it was told DO IT, funded and politics stayed out of it.. Government knew to accomplish this task it was going to be expensive and decided it was worth the investment, now NASA is chartered to still do these incredible things, but bean counters and arm chair quarter back politicians are saying, still do it, but do the Trillion Dollar Idea, for 25 Billion.
I honestly think the government needs to decide what it wants to do with NASA. For the last few administrations it seems that there isn't much direction, and things have been willy nilly. The organization has still done amazing things, simply landing a capsule and rover operating on another planet, is a stunning scientific and engineering achievement. Let alone doing it twice, and both of them working working well beyond their intended design parameters, and one still operating to this day. Etc Etc.
However, folks getting disgusted that SpaceX is being delayed, need to look at the context, even if it is year late, it will still be far cheaper than NASA, and be a truly noteworth accomplishment.
Sorry to break this to you, but without the Government involvement, there would be no space industry.
Henry Ford didn't say, lets go to the Moon. Like it or not, space exploration was created by and exists because of government involvement. You believe otherwise, you are either incredibly ill informed, or willfully ignorant.
This private company is building a Rocket and System FOR NASA! NASA hired them to do this role, they didn't get a contract or $$ out of the blue, they were HIRED BY NASA to do this... so, they have to meet NASA's expectations.
This wasn't some private company who just said, hey, I feel like building a rocket today and see if I can find customers.... they were explicitely hired by NASA to do this task.
At the end of the day, I am sure they will be successful, but that doesn't mean they won't have problems or failures along the way... They will do it, and in the end it will be less expensive most likely, but its not like this is some company who just randomly built a rocket and now needs to quiet NASA to launch it, they were hired by NASA to do this. NASA (government) is paying this private company to do this.
So, please, stop with the silliness.
Those who argue the market is the solution to all evils, are no less fools that those who argue government is the solution to all evils.
Well said!
" complain endlessly about private corporations and that evil profit thing"
Really? Because you know, NASA accomplishes nothing without tons of private companies right? You are aware of this? You do realize NASA hired this private company to build this system and fill this role right???
NASA is not free from politics, but NASA's failings are not anti-capitalism or private companies, its failings have been at least from my limited view into what the public gets to see about it is management that simply does not remotely understand technology or engineering. This is not a problem unique to NASA in the least.. I see this daily in my job. I deal with Managers at all levels who go to some management school or another, and make decisions based on "managerial criteria" and are promoted, judged etc on these same criteria, that boil down to bottom line numbers that have little to nothing to do with engineering correctness or excellence.
This conflict, is what lead directly to nearly all the issues with the Shuttle program, and it far predated the explosion of 1986 and the break up during reentry in 2003. Managing to budgets and timelines and being judge by this and this alone as the major criteria for success when dealing with this sort of thing, inevitably leads to failure, and systemic failure. Risks and short cuts are taken that never should be. Any project can hit a date or a budget, but it will not be correct if that date and budget are incorrect.
NASA should always manage to CORRECTNESS, period, and I know engineers by their very personalities want nothing less, and when things fail, its because of only 2 reasons, 1) Something occurred that was never expected, or not planned for or 2) they were ordered to ignore their concerns and do it anyway, or were unable to quantify their concerns appopriately to decision makers.
The 2 shuttle disasters in a way exemplify both of these.
The first, engineers reported issues with the rocket boosters in 76,77 and 78...but they were ignored by management. Even on launch day 1986 engineers were still warning management, but because they could not prove their case the decision to launch was made. The evidence and data was there, but they did not extrapolate it appropriately to prove failure would be almost assured if they launched that day.
The second, even engineers didn't want to believe the numbers, math doesn't lie, but because they had had strikes before, they just assumed all would be well. These engineers weren't fools, they were some of the brightest minds on the planet, but human intuition can cause folks to deny cold hard facts. The strike was noticed, and end of the day dismissed. And even after failure some engineers were still not willing to believe that rediculously light foam could puncture the wing. Yet, that's exactly what happened. The shuttle really wasn't ever designed to deal with foam strikes, but they had happened routinely and never had a significant issue occured from them, so when this one happened, even though it was larger than any they had seen, and that it had struck the leading edge of the wing, the engineers that voiced concern were not unanimous, and management wasn not convinced to worry.
Now do not get me wrong, I have had great managers that were not technically savvy, but they were competent enough to "know what they didn't know" and listen to their people. I've also had managers with tech background who were arrogant idiots, who did not listen to or trust those under them. On the large however, I would much rather deal with management that TRUSTS ITS PEOPLE AND HAS A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND... but if I have to choose just 1 quality, it would be managers who trust their people.
I've been on both sides of this fence, had to convince management of my stand, and the manager who's needing convincing. I don't like to override an engineer, ever, I know they are competent people, but at times I have been the one to not be convinced of their concern. Its never a decision I take lightly, but it does happen and will always happen.
NASA management however seems to have shown at times to be almost flippant, and that's where you get into major trouble.
However to label NASA anti private business is just silly.
Sorry, that should read 1/2 a BILLION DOLLARS PER LAUNCH when the program ended
The above explains why PROFIT driven companies haven't been exploiting space. They can't. Haven't been able to without GOVERNMENT approval since 1967.
Sorry, but man has always dreamed of going beyond the horizon. Le Voyage Dans La Luyne was a 1902 B/w film about doing just that.
Henry Ford thought we'd all be flying private commuter planes everywhere by now. How'd that work out? FAA got in the way didn't it.
Now... Exactly WHERE in the Constitution does it give the FedGov the power to run an agency like NASA.
Take your time, we'll wait. It should be easy for you since you think you are so much smarter than us "silly" "fools".
But hey, it's better than what the private markets do...
You are joking right? You really want to talk budget overruns and beaurocracy?
Have you ever actually worked in a large organization in your life? Beyond being a peon line worker in one?
You think budget overruns and delays only happen in Government? if so You are an abject fool.
This particular project is a perfect EXAMPLE.. NASA hired a private company to do a job, and guess what, end of the day the job isn't finished on time and on budget, and you want to blame NASA for it? The delivered item has FAILED its testing.
Lets see, Edsel, Aztek, WEBVAN, Online Pet food? What was that MOROTROLA project that launched dozens of satellites only to see the boondogle completely fail to create a worldwide satelite phone network? etc etc etc. Industry is LITTERED with projects that haven't wound up as planned, and that's part of how it works. Risks are taken, rewards are given for those who succeed, but the OVERWHELMING majority FAIL. 90% of private industry FAILS.. that's the facts jack.
No doubt government projects overrun, and those overruns get reported because they are big news and easy copy, and joe q six pack who has no idea how large projects get done just gobbles it up as examples of inefficiency. And No doubt at times there is incredible inefficiencies in systems when viewed from a cost basis. NASA is a perfect kicking boy for this idioticly foolish view... They are asked to accomplish a monumentally complex task, something that has NEVER EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY... they work on this project, and invariably have to spend more time, effort and energy to get it done than they originally planned. Is this because they are all lazy? or taking bribes? or bad folks? Nope, its because they are DOING THINGS THAT HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, and NOT little things, BIG THINGS. Huge Things, Things that have the potential to change the course of human history and rewrite our most basic understandings of the universe.
No private company, EVER has even remotely tried to do the things that NASA has done. I applaud the SPACEX projects, and all the X projects, but even the folks who work on trying to get those X Prizes openly admit, they are building upon the lessons that were learned by those huge investments. The reusable space plane is an accomplishment, and a great one, but do you think the folding wing design to slow the cract without heat shielding could have come about without the decades of research, development and practical application that came before it???? They are attempting to accomplish things cheaper, which is great, but they aren't accomplishing them in vaccuums they are building on the knowledge and engineeering discovered by NASA and other agencies around the world who have done so.
Industry is littered with failures, cost overruns and budget breaks. The difference is that in private industry its all part of the game. You don't have leadership changes ever 4 years, that change mid stream requirements, etc etc etc.
You are a fool my friend, you can worship at the trough of the marketplace, right across from the fool who worships at the trough of government. Two sides of the same idiotic coin.
Space Flight didn't happen in the private sector my friend, you can cite your treaty, but the reality is not one private company was even trying to reach space, until the Russians (government program) put a satellite in orbit) and then the US GOVERNMENT made it a priority to respond here, and launched the space agency.
Space exploration doesn't exist without government, its not like the automobile, or the airplane. No one, Not one private company existed with the goal to reach space prior to the launch of sputnik. You don't have a grandfather of the space age, you can't cite one person or a small group of folks who got a rocket into space, because unlike the automobile or the airplane, you couldn't tinker your way there. It took initiatives like NASA and The Soviet Unions initiatives to get there... it wasn't something that private industry was going to do. Private industry has benefitted greatly from the results of these programs, all sorts of technological problems had to be overcome which launched all sorts of products and firms from them.
Folks who worship at the trough of market need to wake up, government is not inherently evil, that claim is just as ludicrous as leftist and commies who argue free markets are inherently evil.
Private Industry didn't build the interstate highway system, nothing like it was on the books or even being attempted, governemnt did, that system modernized the private industry greately, but no private industry was planning or doing it.
Do I agree with everything government does? Nope, not even close, but the idea that government has no role in things is just idiotic. You wish to live somewhere where the government accomplishes nothing, I suggest you go find yourself a nice place in a narco republic somewhere, and enjoy the anarchy.
Its very easy to buy into the Government is evil, just as it is the market is evil world views. Both are inherently flawed. Capitalism in and of itself is no less likely to lead to objectificaton and opression than any other ISM my friend. Capitalism works when its operating within the confines of a moral government and legal system. Left to its own devices it is no less likely to repress and opress. Don't believe me? Go look at parts of the world where the government is virtually non existant, and capitalism exists. Lives are traded for pennies because on paper that's what their life is worth. Capitalism can be used to justifies indentured servitude, prostitution, etc etc etc.. none of these constructs violate the fundamental tenants of capitalism itself. You go watch a 5 year old tied to a wall in a chinese factory every day, so his parents can both work for a barely sustiance wage, and tell me that capitalism can be any less detrimental to the human condition and spirit that communism.
Capitalism is a great system, but don't foolishly dillude yourself that when left to its own devices it will not happily turn into opression. It is only moral if it operates within the structual confines of moral oversight, and that doesn't come from within.
There are many Government success stories, the difference is, when the government does do something successfully it cannot legally profit from it. It may have the same 90% failure rate, or even higher, but it cannot directly benefit from the successes. More than 1650 spin off companies have launched out of technologies directly created by NASA and its research... out of ~50 years of existence.... that's an average of 33 new products a year!! Now of course NASA doesn't to make the bit payoffs on its successes. They go into the public domain and others do.
Riddle me this sherlock, if building rockets is so damned easy, and the private industry could have done this without the treaty.. why is it India is building a manned space program with governement money? After all its got a good cashflow and capitalist system going now... why is government behind their efforts? We've already done the hard work, seems simple enough, just copy what we've done and go for it, some private company should be willing to invest the energy, $$ and effort without government backing now..
You have no clue here.
$500 for hammer? $1500 for a toilet seat? NASA was rife with such overcharged bullshit.
No private company, EVER has even remotely tried to do the things that NASA has done.
Again... Why would they? The profit motive was OUTLAWED in 1967.
Take your wall of irrelevant text and shove it.
When you have a real point, come back and make it.
Treaty was in 1967, sputnik launched in 1957. And no one was trying for it before 1957 at all.. so please stop the silliness.
Here's the simple facts, do you know what the industry average is for software development? What it is for being on time and budget??? DO you?
Its +/- 25%, 50% of the time. That means, only 1/2 the time does a software project come in at +/- 25% of its original plan! That not NASA, that's not government beauracracy, that's INDUSTRY WIDE!!!!
Now, given most software development is nowhere near the complexity of doing the things NASA is asked to do daily, you really think NASA is just padding folks pockets? Is there waste, any large organization has waste! I worked for a company that was still spending $5000 a month to provide dial up service to its network for 3 customers! Back in the day that services provided the bulk of its clients interactions, but as the clients slowly shifted to their own internet connections they slowly stopped using it, to a point where only 3 were left, but the company was still paying that $5k a month for YEARS. And nope, that wasn't government.. private industry.
I worked for a company that was paying maintenance contracts on hardware they hard retired 5 years ago! Again, Private Industry.
Any large organization has inefficiencies and communcation breakdowns, private or public, if you think otherwise you are a fool.
Lets just visit your private industry argument for a second shall we... the Ansari XPRIZE that said ship to 100 Miles from earth surface 2 times in 2 weeks, 10 Million bucks to the winner... Well, guess what, it was announced in 1996, it was claimed in 2007, and to date, not one commercial flight has flown. The XPRIZE basically said, replicate the performance perameters that didn't even match what was done in 1964 by the Russians.
I don't take anything away from the winners, but it took private industry 11 years to replicate something that was done by governments 41 years earlier, other than reusability of the capsule, and only had to reach 1/2 as high.
Why did it take them 11 years? Hmm? All the hard work had been done, and they weren't even required to use a launch from earth rocket, they could piggy back on a plane first. They had 41 years of newer technology, much of it initially funded and developed via NASA or its spin offs... etc etc etc.
Oh and BTW, that $10 Million Dollar prize that was paid out for the XPRIZE.. it took over $100 Million dollars to accomplish.
To give you some comparsion there, the cost to send the 2 rovers to Mars and operate their original design spec was 820 Million. So, private industry spent a full 1/8 of nasa's budget to design, build, send, land and operate 2 rovers to another planet, just to accomplish something Government space agencies did 41 years prior... Yep, you are right, NASA's just a hugely inefficient organization wasting money hand over fist.
Your arguments don't hold up to scrutiny, you have ideological blinders on that you will never allow yourself to see through.
EGGSACTLY Batman.
Same thing happened when Man explored the New World. Governments (NASA) blazed the trail then Free Enterprise came in and made it work.
I see so many FReepers on the Space threads claiming NASA should be phased out. No, NASA should concentrate on blazing the trail and establishing a base on the Moon and then Mars. Then set the Free Enterprisers lose and let them make it pay off.
You are gonna need Space stations around both the Moon and Mars as well as Earth lots of opportunity for Free Enterprise to get in their and make it work. Especially when we finally establish a Lunar Base!
And all of the best rocket scientists were being hired by the GOVERNMENT on the missiles to use against the Soviets. Most of which were spirited out of Germany after WWII.
Why bother mining asteroids when most of the iron and steel you needed came from the Iron Range in Minnesota? It didn't make economic sense.
It does today.
$820 million to send two remote controlled golf carts to Mars. Yep... There's a heck of an ROI...
You aren't very good at the whole economics thing are you?
They do that efficiently??

Geographic Range
The vampire squid occupies meso- to bathypelagic depths throughout the world's tropical and temperate oceans where little to no light penetrates. The vampire squid is vertically distributed between depths of 300-3000m with a majority of vampire squids occupying depths of 1,500-2,500m. Studies conducted at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California revealed that the Vampyroteuthis infernalis is confined to the oxygen minimum layer in this bay at an average depth of 690m and oxygen levels of 0.22 ml/l. The vampire squid's north-south distribution is localized between the fortieth degree north and south latitudes where the water is 2-6 degrees Celsius.

American Airlines Completes Transition to Paperless Cockpits
American Airlines has replaced its paper flight manuals with electronic flight bags and discontinued paper revisions to terminal flight charts.
The airline completed testing of its iPad EFB in April, and has been granted approval from FAA to use EFBs during all phases of flight on all of its current fleet of aircraft. The conversion is estimated to save American $1.2 million annually by reducing fuel burn by 400,000 gallons per year due to the reduction in weight by eliminating the paper manuals, which are typically more than 3,000 papges long.
American pilots use an EFB equipped with Jeppesen's mobile terminal chart applications.
"Additionally, each of the more than 8,000 iPads we have deployed to date replaces more than 3,000 pages of paper previously carried by every active pilot and instructor. Altogether, 24 million pages of paper documents have been eliminated," said David Campbell, vice president of safety and operations performance at American.
In July, pilots on the airline's regional subsidiary--American Eagle Airlines--will begin using the iPad-based EFB, making it the first regional carrier to convert to EFBs.

Gas station owner thwarts robbery
MUNISING – Two individuals who attempted to rob the Oasis Gas Station in Shingleton early Sunday morning are behind bars.
Troopers from the Michigan State Police Munising Detachment responded to the Oasis Gas Station in Shingleton for a breaking and entering in progress at 4:10 a.m. on Sunday.
Two suspects wearing ski masks forced entry into the gas station and proceeded to the cash register.
Unknown to the burglars, the gas station owner, Shawn Schank, was in the building at the time of the attempted burglary.
Schank, a veteran of the Iraq war, found the masked suspects behind the cashier's counter at his register.
He ran toward the suspects and kicked one of them, causing him to fall to the floor. Schank then retrieved an AR-15 assault rifle from his office and ordered the masked men to leave his business, police said.
During the altercation, one of the suspects peeled his mask off and pleaded with Schank not shoot him.
The suspects then fled on foot away from the Oasis Gas Station and Schank called 911 to report the incident.
When one of the suspects removed his mask and exposed his face, Schank recognized the burglar and was able to provide the suspect's identity to police.
Troopers located and apprehended the identified suspect. Investigative efforts provided the ability to identify the second suspect, who was also located and apprehended.
A 17-year-old Shingleton resident and an 18-year-old Munising resident were both arrested for breaking and entering and lodged at the Alger County Jail.
Both arrested suspects remain lodged pending arraignments scheduled in the Alger County District Court on Tuesday.

Tupper Lake school super aims to answer questions
TUPPER LAKE – Seth McGowan is making it his mission to answer all the questions residents of the Tupper Lake Central School District have about the proposed school budget.
He said at Monday night's hearing on the second version of the district's 2013-14 budget that he's spent time since the original version of the school budget failed in May talking with members of the community on the phone and in person, answering questions they have.
He told the 20 or so people at the hearing that his home number is in the phone book, and he's committed to helping people understand the school budget, so he's willing to answer any questions voters may have.
"Our children's education is too important," McGowan said.
The original school budget, which would have exceeded the tax cap with a 8.35 percent tax levy increase, was voted down 685 to 512 in May. The second version, approved by the school board last week, comes in a full percentage point below the tax cap with a $274,954 increase, or 3.76 percent, over the current year, for a total tax levy of $7,587,554. It includes the reduction of seven instructional positions, two of those through layoffs.
McGowan said there are topics that come up repeatedly, and once he explains them, people tend to understand and change their tune. He focused an entire section of his budget presentation on those issues, and he called it "You should have explained that." He noted that he's gone over some of these issues in past meetings, but not everything gets picked up by the media, since he has no control over what goes into a news story.
The biggest one, McGowan said, is state Education Law, which dictates a number of things for the school districts of the state. For instance, each district must teach a certain number of courses, include specific courses in its curriculum, and have students remain in certain classes for a specific number of minutes. McGowan said there are unbelievable amounts of regulations governing those types of decisions, so when it comes to cuts, the administration is quite limited.
In terms of labor, districts are guided by the Public Employees Fair Employment Act, more commonly known as the Taylor Law, a portion of state Civil Service Law. The Taylor Law governs a district's contracts with its employees and how layoffs need to happen.
"There's very strict ways and regulations about how that's supposed to be done," McGowan said.
He also noted that the state's fiscal stability has had a big impact. The district's budget was thrown off when the state started its Gap Elimination Adjustment several years ago and reduced Foundation Aid, the biggest state aid category for Tupper's schools. He said the district has seen a 10.16 percent decrease in state aid since 2009-10.
If the district was getting the same amount of state aid it got in 2009-10, next year's tax levy would actually be reduced rather than increased, McGowan said. Because of that, he tried to reframe the district's money problems as an income problem, not a spending problem as detractors have tried to paint it in recent weeks.
He said spending is increasing for several reasons. A significant increase of about $660,000 in employee benefits is one. Another is that there were some spending items that weren't under the general fund budget but rather in another spending area, because they were paid for through federal grants or other federal sources. The federal funding for those items is being reduced and the spending now has to be shifted to the general fund budget, McGowan said.
McGowan also addressed the district's bus proposition, which he said is a bus replacement plan that saves the district money in the long run. He said it's widely misunderstood.
Hearing comments
Two residents asked questions about the budget during the hearing, while one mother expressed concern about cutting programs at the school.
Patricia St. Onge said she has a child in Tupper Lake's schools, and she's worried about the district cutting from clubs and other activities. She said colleges look at extracurricular activities in addition to academics, and not having extracurricular opportunities makes students not as competitive when they apply for college.
"I have a 10-year-old, and I'm very scared about what trail we're leading on for our kids' future," St. Onge said.
McGowan agreed and said that the cuts the district made from clubs attempted to target positions and spending items that might be made up from other funding sources.
David Boyea asked several questions about employee benefits. School board President Dan Mansfield said the district has to negotiate with its employee unions, and some things aren't even on the table in negotiations, like retirement. He said the district tries to negotiate things like sick time, medical costs and medical leave.
Mansfield said that when he first started on the board a decade ago, teachers weren't contributing anything to their health insurance costs, but now all employees of the district do.
McGowan said the big problem is the cost of health care increasing, and he said the district is trying to find ways to reduce those costs through a health care consortium the district is part of.
Boyea also asked about the bus proposition, noting that with his own cars, he runs them into the ground to get as much money's worth out of them. He asked if it was an oversimplification to compare that to the district's bus replacement plan.
McGowan said it is, because buses are subject to a number of state inspections and become unsafe quicker than smaller vehicles. He said the program the district has now gets rid of buses at the right time, when the district has gotten as much value out of them as possible before they costing too much in maintenance and when their resale value is still relatively high.
Trish Anrig, a former district employee who won a seat on the school board in May and will likely be sworn in in July, asked if this budget still includes the use of the district's reserve funds. McGowan said it does: $200,000 from the district's unemployment reserves and $710,000 in general fund balance. Anrig asked what the impact of that would be next year, and McGowan said making the tax levy any smaller than about a 10 percent increase is going to have an impact on next year's budget, making it harder to balance it.
Second fail?
McGowan said he's reluctant to address what would happen if the budget fails a second time when it goes to a public vote next week, but he said, "It's not good."
The district would have to go back to the current year's tax levy, $7,312,600, which means administration would have to cut an additional $274,954.
He said that, without question, that would mean additional cuts to the district's staff.
"This would be a very significant detriment to our school district," McGowan said.
Mansfield and school board member Jane Whitmore said at the end of the meeting that it's nice to see a lot of people attend school board meetings, but they'd like to see more taxpayers come out who have questions about the budget. Often, most of the attendees at school board meetings are people who work for the district. Mansfield said he hopes to see many people participating in next week's vote.
"I really hope the community will come out and support the budget," Mansfield said.

Photo of the Week: Your Tired, Your Poor
We have another first time winner, in Jennifer Chase. We're usually not persuaded towards heavily manipulated images, but some do make it past the drag net from time to time. In this case, it's the suggestion of a dark brooding Houston that's caught our attention. The rain moving in to pour on an already weary spirit. Dry and cracked in its appearance. Fatigue set in long ago.

Fitting in Fitness
Recently, I highlighted several current opportunities for individuals to get involved in the Young Professionals community here in Rochester. If you've followed up on those opportunities, pursued your own ideas and interests, or are already heavily involved in the community, maybe you've asked yourself this question: when do Rochester area young professionals find the time to workout?
Between working full time, participating in several groups, juggling a second job, attending networking events, spending time with friends, and being in a relationship, sometimes I really wonder how everyone else is doing it all. I won't pretend to be in great shape, but I really enjoy working out at my gym and definitely feel a change in mood if I haven't been to the DFC in two or three days.
Considering I both live and work within approximately a one mile radius of my gym, you might think it would be easy to squeeze in but I have frequently found myself choosing between a good workout or an interesting RYP seminar/happy hour for a good cause/meeting of a new group/etc. I try to schedule my days off from the gym for when there is an event I want to attend, but the balancing act isn't always a complete success.
How do you stay active while juggling several other obligations/priorities? What are your tips for others? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments, I think there are many of us who would love to hear feedback on this topic.

It will work even better if you eliminate the chimney.
Really, why is that ? I can test it tomorrow without the chimney. Should i lower the oven with one set of bricks, it looks pretty tall ?
Morgan, how long did you preheat the oven to get it to 950f? And where did you take the temp reading? Next to the coals or right where you would be placing the pie?
Looks like the pizza is great, and that is what counts.
Next time you fire it, remove about 2/3 of those coals and just add a small diameter log that will provide some flame (and light) while you are cooking. Looks like the pizza is great, and that is what counts.
I will try this too, there is so much to learn when playing with wood fired oven. Thanks for the hint When i use burning wood with the coals does it burn the pizza when i dome it ? Or does it bake the toppings faster that way even without dome time ?
I'm trying to follow along. Doesn't that mean a better balance is needed to get even results? I'm thinking you shouldn't have to raise the pie to the dome to get it browned.
it looks as if you have used a metal support for the upper middle bricks? otherwise how can they not cave in with the space under it for the pie?

friendly and very knowledgeable people were very helpful would recommend to anyone and will definitely be a repeat customer with all my vehicles
Very happy with price and service
No waiting around and a speedy job done.Explained the final bill clearly.The quality of fitting the pads visually looks good ,only down side is they did not check the level of brake fluid after the job was done as it was over flowing ,as brake fluid is very damaging to rubber and paint I had to remove some myself,other wise I would of given 5 stars.
Accepted quote of £35 turned out to be price to look at car not repair it
Everything was great, I'm happy
Fast, efficient & local I will use again thanks.
Cannot thank Martin enough for fixing my car (gears) and cannot recommend highly enough - friendly, helpful, professional and all round excellent service, good price and what a difference it has made as my car drives like new!
Brilliant service. Martin fixed my car even quicker than i thought it was going to take. Whilst fixing the gear box contacted me to advice that the oil was empty and filter needed changing and for all the work the total was very reasonable and i trust it has been done well. Will 100% use him again and advice friends and family to use him as well
Absolutely highly recommend first class service
Renault megane. Timing belt and water pump change. Martin not only gave a great quote he came to me in Leicester to do the job. He showed me the original part he had removed and the part he had put back on it was exactly the same as the main dealer. I was impressed by Martin he turned up on time and got the work done efficiently no stopping for cups of tea and telephone calls like previous mechanics. Polite too. I would highly recommend martins services to family and friends and definitely use in the future. It's good when you get a loyal skilled mechanic who knows what he's doing.
Easy to arrange. Exceptional service. Excellent communication!
Great service,
Excellent experience, very friendly staff, very thorough, very happy with the job.
Got the MOT done, and also a platinum membership card, with service prepaid (air conditioning, oil changed filters,,,etc)
Great price in comparison to the rest who quoted for the same work, all the work was done in one day and I received the car back. Would definitely re-use and recommend again.

Olympians & Paralympians to Volunteer Time to Habitat for Humanity
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, as well as Olympic alumni and hopefuls, are joining together to celebrate the spirit of the Olympic Movement on Saturday, Nov. 22, at Olympic and Paralympic Build Day with Habitat for Humanity in Colorado Springs, Colo. Also as a part of the Team for Tomorrow humanitarian fund, U.S. athletes around the country are working with their local Habitat for Humanity affiliates, spreading the spirit of Olympism while making a difference in their hometown communities.
Beijing Olympians and Paralympians participating in Nov. 22's all-day build in Northeast Colorado Springs include U.S. flag bearer and track & field athlete Lopez Lomong (Flagstaff, Ariz.) and volleyball silver medalist Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.). Joining them are cyclist Michael Blatchford (Cypress, Calif.), pentathlete Eli Bremer (Monument, Colo.), weightlifter Carissa Gump (Essex, Vt.), Paralympic cyclist and skier Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.), wrestler Brad Vering (Howells, Neb.) and women's volleyball coach Tom Hogan (Colorado Springs, Colo.).
Also lending helping hands during the build day are 2004 Olympic fencer Cody Mattern-Nagengast (Tigard, Ore.), Olympic shooting hopeful Amy Sowash (Richmond, Ky.), three-time kayak Olympian and U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) Chief Operating Officer Norman Bellingham (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and three-time handball Olympian and U.S. Paralympics staff member Laura Ryan (Colorado Springs, Colo.). The Colorado Springs family receiving the home after its completion will also work alongside the athletes during the build.
Olympic and Paralympic Build Day with Habitat for Humanity is a part of the USOC's Team for Tomorrow fund. Launched prior to the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Team for Tomorrow is the ongoing humanitarian relief effort of America's Olympic and Paralympic Teams that consists of donations, volunteerism and other relief contributions to organizations including Habitat for Humanity, the selected cause of the 2008 teams.
Activities like the inaugural Olympic and Paralympic Build Day with Habitat for Humanity allow America's top athletes to gain an even deeper meaning out of representing the United States as an Olympic and Paralympic athlete. Through the fund, athletes also help further the Olympic Ideals of goodwill, understanding, tolerance and harmony.
Through the fund, several athletes have already donated service hours to Habitat for Humanity affiliates in communities around the nation, including Olympic race walker Phillip Dunn (San Diego, Calif.), Paralympic swimming gold medalist Aaron Paulson (Portland, Ore.) and Olympic field hockey players Lauren Powley (San Diego, Calif.) and Amy Tran (Norfolk, Va.). Dozens more U.S. athletes are expected to participate this winter and spring.
Team for Tomorrow has also extended its reach beyond the United States to people in need around the globe. On behalf of the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Teams, the USOC donated 1,000 relief tents to survivors of the May 12 earthquake in China's Sichuan Province that left approximately 5 million people homeless. The tents, which can sleep 8-10 people each, were transported to Chengdu, Sichuan, China, where they have assisted thousands of victims who lost their homes in the earthquake.
The earthquake relief efforts and the inaugural Olympic and Paralympic Build Day with Habitat for Humanity are just two ways America's Olympians and Paralympians are making a difference beyond the playing fields. In the future, in partnership with the 2010 and 2012 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, the Team for Tomorrow fund will partner with other causes in the United States and around the world to continue spreading the spirit of the Olympic Movement.
Media interested in attending the Olympic and Paralympic Build Day with Habitat for Humanity, as well as obtaining photos or quotes, should contact Lindsay DeWall at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Swinger's Guide:
Whether you are new or experienced in the swinging scene, it is always nice to be able to refer some tips on how to get the best out of swinging. So, we have come up with a few tips for a swinging good time.
Placing an Ad:
When placing an ad it's best to think about what kind of ad you would reply to yourself. Good grammar and spelling count. Include as much detail as you can such as age, your body type, your sexuality, your likes and your dislikes, your area, and if possible a photograph of yourself. When you receive a reply, you should always answer, even if only to say "no thanks". Don't forget to be honest. Honesty in your description of yourself and what you really want. Honesty is prized and there is nothing to gain from being dishonest.
Replying to the Ad:
When replying to an ad, remember that most people want to know the details as listed above, but beware of photo collectors. Most swingers are NOT interested in genital shots but a full length picture showing your face would satisfy most swinging couples. DO NOT DISCLOSE your telephone number until you are satisfied that you would like to meet the advertising swinger.
First Meeting:
Most first meetings take place with a simple phone call. Speaking to all interested parties drastically reduces the chance of a "no show" or the chance of "incompatibility". Unless you are seeking a one night stand, make sure that sexual contact will only happen if all swingers are happy with the situation. Sometimes, it's good to meet up for drinks for the first meeting, then arrange another date if all agree. After all, how many people really get to have sex on their first date? Always meet where there are other people present. Do not meet with other swingers too near your home. The last thing you want is to explain to Aunt Bridget why you were sitting on a strange man's lap..
Be Honest:
If you have met the interested party via phone and finally meet the swinging single or swingling couple but thay are not to your liking, TELL THEM, do not continue with the date as it it will only lead to hurt feelings. Simply saying "Nice to have met you, but unforyunately you are not my / our type" will do. This saves a lot of time and you would be surprised at how well people will take it.
Stay Alert:
Beware of drugs and alcohol. Nobody wants to swing with people who can't stand up and you guys know the consequences of too much alcohol.
Set Ground Rules:
When all have agreed to have a swinging session, it is important to set limits. At the very least, everyone should agree that if one person in the swinger's group feels uncomfortable at any time during the session, they should be able to stop the action without any bad feelings in the group.
Respect peoples privacy. What goes on in the company of Sex Dating, swinging couples or swingers in general is not anyone elses business. If you really want to share your experience with others, you should omit or change names and dates. Think about it, would you like others to tell their friends about your swinger relationship? You never know...
Have Fun:
Swinging is fun, and a lot of people experience the time of their life swinging. You can fulfill deep erotic sexual fantasy in a safe and loving way. Life is waiting.... Good luck!
Swingers' Dating: Finding Someone Interested In the Same Thing as You.
The internet is a blessing for all those swinging couples looking for other couples who want the same thing! It is the age of freedom of sexual needs. No longer is it a taboo if you, as a couple, want to exchange partners, nor is it a difficult task to find partners. There are millions of online dating websites that cater to every need of a swinger. Some are free, some are paid, but all of them are fun.
Swingers' Dating: How to Make a Profile Making a profile on an adult dating website is a simple task. Just sign up, enter your details, and pay. For couples who don't want to pay, there are free sites as well. However, paid sites will yield better results, because other couples there will have paid, and everyone wants results if money is involved. Now, once you've entered your details, like your likes, dislike, preferences, what you're looking for etc. if anonymity is a concern, don't worry, you don't have to give your own name, address or telephone number. Next you can put up some pictures of yourself or your partner or of both of you together. Most websites allow up to approximately 100 pictures per profile. However, remember that the kind of pictures you put up should give the right impression, which means the impression that you as a swinging couple want to portray. There is no restriction on the type of pictures you can put up, and this includes nudes. However, if you are putting up nude picture, it is best to ensure that they are taken artfully and with a lot of class. That will make your profile all the more attractive to others who are on the site. Now your profile is ready to be seen by others. You are now ready for the world of online dating.
Swingers' Dating: Setting up a Meeting Once you have the profile ready, and you've met someone you and your partner find attractive and compatible with your needs, it is time for the next big step: setting up a meeting. This needs to be done carefully because the people you will be meeting are strangers after all. It is advisable to set up the meeting at a mutually agreed upon place, where both you and the other couple are comfortable. At this stage, it is also important that you choose a place where conversation is possible peacefully. Keep in mind that drinking on this date" is not a very good idea. And if the date is successful, what are you waiting for? Swing on!
