Message Category: Anything Else
I have a sleek, sweet-tempered, beloved,smart, 3-year-old Plott Hound who was born to run, like marathoners. I adopted her as a stray in NM, when I was caretaking a remote ranch. She was always free there, always alerted us to cougars and bears and other wildlife, and she has always come home. She can run with the car at ~ 10-15 mph for >20 miles at a time. Would any one who's planning to keep training for years be interested in adopting her, be able to give her a better home than I can, now that we've left the ranch? We are in the Seattle area now, but headed home to NM after Labor Day, if she doesn't have a good home by then. Thank you. marty

From the born" to the "to be born" are in a queue - a queue to learn a special technique, a technique that will make you theoretically awesome .With a very amazing theory that everyone is a soul, starts a very auspicious theory of life. With an amazing philosophy that we are servants of God and that everyone is our brother, we start our journey. Its a journey in which we have somewhere heard that what comes is a grant of God and what goes still belongs to God, and we never owned anything to actually lose anything.
We come from that background where Lord Krishna says, "Karma can change destiny." But here, everyone is a son or daughter of God until a Brahmin discards his son for marrying someone from a lower caste. Everyone is just a soul and the soul never dies till someones body dies here and nothing actually is truly ours until you realise I lost a special. Sometimes it turns me into a psycho and an antisocial when I act practically because I belong to a place where everything is theoretical ..
When I was a child, I was taught God is in everyone, and in practice I was taught to choose good friends. In theory, everyone has in him a God, but in practice those who do not help me are bad and those who do are cleverly making their place in my heart. I was taught to be loyal and honest, and today the practical side tells you that if you dont lie, you cant live here.
When I was young, I was told that God is one, and in practice I am taught, you are just a Hindu. You are taught to forgive, but the sad story is that when you forgive, they say, "They are using you...and you keep forgiving, idiot." When I was young I was taught to love everyone, and in practice parents hate love marriage. When I was young I was taught every caste is the same, but in practice my parents oppose inter-caste marriage. This is the place where 95 per cent of the people read sacred books and only 5 per cent meditate. Perhaps this has to happen as I belong to the place where everything is theoretical...
I am blessed to be a part of the land where the preacher of the Gita mistreats a widow for bringing misfortune to his son. I m blessed to be a part of the land where the followers of Krishna philosophy (Karma matters more than destiny) rejects a girl for being born on a dark moon night. I feel great to be a part of the holy land where you talk of London and head for Tokyo. The ocean of high class thoughts is where I belong in search of an island of practicality. The place I belong has been so much into theory that the practice of theory in real life is anti-social and sometimes can even be a threat to life.
The theoretical people lead the nation and practical people are a threat to society. This is what happens in this land where everything is theoritical....
From the verses of holy books to the course book of school, whatever we have read, chanted or took to heart has been mumified, mistaken for knowledge .
Nevertheless, I am also a sole example of a social animal. I have been a part of the crowds of several accidents. I have been a part of several it shouldnt have been done gossips. I have been a passerby of several butcher shops. I am just as you all are, writing an article to express my dissatisfactions and feel proud to have done something for the society. This has been a trend - you write, I read; I write, you read. Maybe something will click in your mind that what I am saying is the truth - this is the land where everything is theoretical.

Once upon a time, Gru (voice of Steve Carrell) dreamt of stealing the moon - these days he's a single adoptive father of three precocious girls. Having given up his spectacular life of crime, Gru now aims to produce a delicious new line of jams with the help of his tiny minions and his old pal Dr. Nefario (voice of Russell Brand). Feeling unfulfilled in his newfound role as a jam-maker, Dr. Nefario announces that he will be departing for more evil pastures just as Gru is approached by the Anti-Villain League to capture the mysterious culprit who just stole a top-secret research lab filled with PX 41 -- an experimental serum with the strength to transform harmless animals into ravenous monsters. The AVL is certain that the culprit is covering his tracks by posing as a small business owner at a local mall, and assign their best agent Lucy (Kristen Wiig) to aid Gru in identifying him. Meanwhile, Gru's oldest adopted daughter Margo (voice of Miranda Cosgrove) falls for rebellious teen Antonio (voice of Moises Arias), the leather-jacketed son of boisterous Mexican cantina owner Eduardo (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Now, with Gru's paternal instincts kicking into full gear just as a dastardly plot begins to unfold, the devoted new father must divide his time between saving the world from an enigmatic super-villain, and saving Miranda from total heartbreak. All the while, a suitable mother for the girls may have been standing right under Gru's pointy nose the entire time.

Jeremy Ryan is the News Resources Manager for CNY Central.
GEDDES -- If you have been waiting to get your tickets to State Fair concerts this summer, you'll only have to wait a little longer.
The New York State Fair announced Thursday morning that it has contracted with a company called Etix to sell its concert tickets for the State Fair Grandstand. The 12-year-old company provides online ticket sales for concerts, fairs, theaters, and sporting events around the country.
The Fair says tickets for the previously announced Keith Urban and Jason Aldean concerts will go on sale on Saturday, June 16. They will be available online via Etix.com and in person at the State Fair box office. You can also order by phone at 1-800-514-3849. The Fair does caution that sales will be limited to eight tickets per person per show on the first day, and no one will be allowed to line up to buy tickets at the Fairgrounds before 6:00 a.m. on Saturday.
"We are excited about this new partnership with Etix," said Dan O'Hara, New York State Fair director. "We feel that this affiliation will greatly benefit Fairgoers as it is going to dramatically reduce the service fees for concertgoers."
O'Hara says Etix will offer several options for electronic tickets, including the option to scan either a credit card or bar code on your mobile device to gain entry. Traditional paper tickets will also be available, either through the mail or printed at home.
"Etix is without-a-doubt a 21st-century company as concertgoers will not have to worry about remembering their concert tickets before they leave the house. Instead, they can now go entirely paperless by sending the ticket to their smartphones," O'Hara said. "If they don't want to do that then they can simply purchase and print their tickets right at home."
The Fair says ticket purchases will come with a $3.75 service fee no matter how they are purchased. An additional 3% fee will be applied if tickets are purchased with a credit card. The Fair says these fees are 25% less than those charged by the previous vendor, Ticketmaster.
The 2012 New York State Fair runs from August 23 through September 3.

45 years after Mister Rogers
Children's television programming, then and now.
Mister Rogers smiled, walked in the front door and sang his welcome:
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
The first time Fred Rogers came through his TV studio singing that song to a U.S. audience was 45 years ago today, on Feb. 19, 1968. He hung his coat and jacket, put on a comfy cardigan, and changed from shoes into sneakers, a practice stemming from his background as a puppeteer who needed to make his way quietly through backstage sets.
These simple gestures would become the hallmarks of the show that Fred McFeely Rogers, a sweet-spirited Presbyterian minister, debuted amidst the bombast of America's cultural revolution as "Misterogers' Neighborhood." In an explosive year of American history that saw the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy, the Tet Offensive on Saigon and the riotous Democratic Convention in Chicago, Rogers began a run of 31 seasons teaching lessons of patience and friendship to preschoolers.
More from MSN TV: Here's a look at our favorite new faces of 2012-13
Television programming for children was already in place, but never before had anyone so sensitively used the medium to talk with children — and it really did feel like a two-way exchange — about troubling new situations and coping with emotions like anger and jealousy.
The lightning-fast edits and wink-wink–nudge-nudge of much children's programming today could make a parent wonder whether there's anything nearly as valuable on television. But in truth, there is, and today's programmers of educational content benefit from years of research on developmental psychology. The best are those programs that, in the tradition of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," respect both the innocence and the capability of a child's mind.
More from MSN TV: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Stops by 'Sesame Street' for vocabulary lesson
Sierra Filucci, senior editor for TV and DVD at Common Sense Media, told the Daily Dose, "Great shows for kids speak to children on their level without speaking down to them. These are shows that understand that kids have a range of emotions and interests and love to laugh. Fred Rogers was a master of meeting kids with respect and honoring their love of imagination and play."
More from MSN TV: Television's top dogs
"'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood' is very much in the same vein as 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood' and is produced using Rogers' philosophies," says Filucci, referencing a program based on a Fred Rogers character (today's Daniel Tiger is the son of Daniel Striped Tiger, the tiger kitten on the clock tower in Rogers' Neighborhood of Make Believe). Noting selections from Common Sense's Best Preschool TV shows, she continues, "'Doc McStuffins,' 'Clifford the Big Red Dog,' and 'Calliou' are a few others that do a great job helping kids figure out their feelings and how to manage them."
There will only ever be one Fred Rogers — the gentle giant of children's television passed away in 2003. But he taught lessons of immeasurable value that any child, and any producer of preschool programming, would be wise to learn.

Tax district tweaked to reflect Worthington mall price
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
The city council has approved changes to the city's tax increment financing exemption for the Shops at Worthington Place to better reflect a lower-than-expected purchase price for the property.
The final purchase price of the mall was $4.36 million, not $6 million as was written into the agreement as the sale was being negotiated.
Because of tax dollars lost with the reduction in the mall's base value, the developer will make a one-time payment of $37,200 to the Worthington school district in 2013.

Down East 2013 ©
In the Great Midnight Roll Call of modern supernatural fiction, three New England writers will find themselves at the front of the line: H.P. Lovecraft, whose tombstone reads "I am Providence"; Shirley Jackson, born in California but best-known for works like The Lottery and The Summer People, inspired by her long sojourn in rural Vermont; and, of course, Stephen King, who put Maine on the map for something other than lobster and balsam fir. Lovecraft [1890-1937] has only belatedly received critical attention, in part due to the unstinting efforts of scholar S. T. Joshi, and more recently enhanced by the 2005 Library of America volume of Lovecraft's short fiction (edited by Peter Straub, another master of the literary uncanny — he hails from Milwaukee). And Jackson [1916-1965], arguably one of the great American modernists, still has only one serious biography to her credit, and only one major critical study.
That leaves King, who — still writing brilliantly, at the top of his form — has yet to receive the attention he deserves. This despite a good-sized shelf of boilerplate bios produced for the library market, as well as more consumer-oriented (to put it kindly) books with titles like Stephen King: King of Thrillers and Horror; Stephen King: America's Best-loved Boogeyman; and now Lisa Rogak's unauthorized biography, Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King (Thomas Dunne Books, New York, New York; hardcover; 310 pages, $25.95). Rogak claims authorship of more than forty books, including an unauthorized biography of Dan Brown; the cut-and-paste Barack Obama In His Own Words and Michelle Obama In Her Own Words; The Quotable Cat; and 100 Best Businesses to Start When You Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore.
I suspect her next work might be 100 Best Books to Publish When You Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore. Only a handful of people who know King appeared to have spoken to Rogak, so Haunted Heart consists almost exclusively of material culled from other easily obtainable sources — newspapers and magazines, online sources, TV and radio interviews, and previously published works about King, as well as his own non-fiction books, in particular Danse Macabre and On Writing. Haunted Heart is the biographical equivalent of SparkNotes: Rogak hasn't exhausted herself in generating deep thoughts about her subject, or original insight or, god forbid, any heavy lifting in the research department. Case in point: Rogak cites the same issue of Weekly Reader Writing Magazine eight times.
Still, if you're looking for just-the-facts-ma'am info, a lot of that is here. Rogak collates well-worn material about King's early life and career— his hardscabble, peripatetic childhood; the now-famous anecdote about how the two-year-old's father went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came back, leaving Stephen and his older brother to be raised by their mother. Rogak puts her own banal gloss on this — "After her husband walked out, Ruth packed up her two kids, swallowed her pride, and depended on her relatives" — and suggests that all of King's writing is fueled by a profound sense of abandonment.
An equal argument might be made for the importance of Ruth's encouragement in her son's career. When he was in first grade and bedridden for weeks, King's mother paid him a quarter for every story he wrote, beginning with Mr. Rabbit Trick. Later, she confronted him about his nightmare-inducing collection of wonderfully gruesome E. C. Comics. Her son's retort: "Someday, I'm going to write this junk."
What Stephen King did, of course, was raise that junk to the status of literature, without sacrificing the visceral pleasures tendered by the classic ghost stories he devoured as a kid. Rogak provides a good nuts-and-bolts description of King's time at the University of Maine at Orono, his long apprenticeship as a freelance writer contributing short fiction to men's magazines like Cavalier and Gallery and Swank; his marriage to fellow UMO student Tabitha Spruce, and the tough times that preceded the 1973 hardcover sale of Carrie and that novel's subsequent paperback sale to New American Library for four hundred thousand dollars, then a record-breaking figure. Mass success followed the novel's actual release a year later, quickly bolstered by the 1975 publication of Salem's Lot and by Brian De Palma's 1976 film version of Carrie.
From here on in, Haunted Heart pretty much just ticks off titles and dates. There are side trips detailing King's early battles with alcoholism; the 1999 car accident that left him critically injured; the continuing stresses of a literary career lived under nearly constant public scrutiny; King's long-overdue embrace by the mainstream literary establishment, acknowledged by his being awarded the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American letters in 2003.
And, commendably, Rogak gives numerous examples of the King couple's legendary commitment to charitable causes through the Haven Foundation and the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, which promotes the author's adage: "Give away a dime for every dollar you make, because if you don't give it, the government's just going to take it." Stephen King is a generous, wonderful writer who deserves a wonderful biography. Until he gets one, we'll have to make do with fluff-filled jobs like Haunted Heart, and — better still — continue to focus on the unforgettable voice captured in his own work.

Proved recoverable reserves are stated by the Department of Trade and Industry in UK Oil and Gas Reserves (September 2006) to be 516 million tonnes at end-2005. This figure compares with the United Kingdom's cumulative oil production of some 3 090 million tonnes.
In addition, there are estimated to be 300 million tonnes of 'probable reserves', with 'a better than 50% chance of being technically and economically producible', and a further 451 million tonnes of 'possible reserves', with 'a significant but less than 50% chance of being technically and economically producible'.
Total output of crude oil and NGLs increased from about 92 million tonnes/yr in 1989-1991 to an all-time high of 137 million tonnes in 1999, since when production has tended to decline. The UK exported 64% of its total oil output in 2005; 64% of such exports were consigned to EU countries and 26% to the USA.

The Policy Seminar Series is supported by the Thomas C. Sorensen Endowment. In 1996, Nebraska native Tom Sorensen approached Dean Brian Foster of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to discuss the three problems that troubled him then and continue to trouble many people today.
The first, as Dr. Sorensen described it, is the paucity of public discussion of policy issues with a dominance of what discussion there is by only those directly affected by particular issues. The second and related problem is that too few citizens participate in public affairs and run for office. And the third is that many newly elected officials, especially at the local level, know very little about their role, relevant policy issues, and policy matters in general upon assuming office.
Dr. Sorensen gave an endowment to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Arts and Sciences with the understanding that its income would support educational activities to help promote discussion of policy issues among Nebraskans, encourage their participation in public affairs and running for office, and educate newly elected officials.
The UNL College of Arts and Sciences partners with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center in sponsoring the Policy Seminar Series.

In response to Rolling Stone cover, photographer releases dramatic images of Tsarnaev manhunt, arrest

Sergeant Sean P. Murphy/Mass. State Police via Boston Magazine
In the wake of the backlash and controversy over Rolling Stone's August magazine cover featuring Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev, Boston Magazine has published photos from a photographer that shows behind-the-scenes images from the Tsarnaev manhunt.
Furious w/ Rolling Stone, photographer shares behind-the-scenes photos of Tsarnaev manhunt--the real face of terror: http://t.co/MIM57Og2C7
— bostonmagazine.com (@BostonMagazine) July 18, 2013
The pictures were taken by Sergeant Sean Murphy, a photographer with the Massachusetts State Police, who told Boston Magazine that he was furious with Rolling Stone's cover photo featuring the alleged bomber. Murphy said:
"As a professional law-enforcement officer of 25 years, I believe that the image that was portrayed by Rolling Stone magazine was an insult to any person who has every worn a uniform of any color or any police organization or military branch, and the family members who have ever lost a loved one serving in the line of duty. The truth is that glamorizing the face of terror is not just insulting to the family members of those killed in the line of duty, it also could be an incentive to those who may be unstable to do something to get their face on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine."

The Gallacrag
Heres my Entry....
The Gallacrag is a silicone based life-form that inhabbit the astroid belt in the Bomor system. Its still unclear how a lifeform such as this could have evolved however exstensive studies of thease hudge creatures has shown some remarkable adaptations to living in space. It appears they have evolved a group of specialised organs which act as a form of bio-thruster, which propels the creature forward in bursts. This thrust is belived to be the creatures waste, a by- product of its processing solar energy aswell as the breakdown of other minerals from the consumtion of astroids. A thin skirt of muscula material around which the thrust emitts is made from complex slicates and crystals providing this creature with a type of vector thrusting found on modern fighter aircraft. The creature appears to gain energy from the systems binary stars via crystal formations located on fins acting like solar panels. Other energies such as Nutrons,UV,Gamma,Alpha and Beta radiation are blieved to be utilised by the creature. The consumtion of astroid material is carried out by hudge plate like teeth located in the mouth in a circula formation. The minerals consumed is belived to be used in conjuction with the sloar energy as part of the food proccess of the creature. The creatures sensory organs located either side of its mouth and on a lumb located on its back near the thruster. Tests show thease creatures are able to detected gravitational fields aswell as electromagnetic and photo optical abilities. Reproduction has yet to be observed and currently theorised that thease creatures produce A-sexualy. Full Res:Click

Asteroid Beasts from the Crag Nebula
Ever wonder what happens when your kid flushes his deceased pet into the cold vacuum of space? Well, if you happen to be near the strange fusion surrounding the Crag Nebula, it is reborn and evolves into an enormous living mass. Easily confused with asteroids they are an aggregate of mineral and organic carbon based deposits. Their mountainous bulk drifting carefree along a line in space so straight as to astound mathematicians galaxy-wide. We believe these creatures ultimately merge to become planetary masses.Giving rise to speculative theories concerning the origins of life on earth.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
ElceyWashingtonI Love It =)My hair is naturally pretty straight, but Ive always wanted to buy a straightner to make it even straighter. Ive got to say -- this is by far the best product Ive bought online. This straightner works so well!! My friend came over and tried it out the other night and she ended up buying one herself~ I know $88 seems like a lot, but sometimes its better to spend more on a good product than to spend less on something crappy and then have to buy another one soon after. Anyway, I just wanted to comment on how much I LOVE this product!!posted Dec 18, 2004Link to this post
JoeySolia Flat Iron 1 - 1/4" Ceramic IonExcellent flat iron, i owned on of the cheaper brands & it was horrible. I love the solia flat iron & it keeps my hair straight & heats up incredible fast---takes just minutes to do my hair & i have long hair to middle of my back, thanks for the great product.posted Dec 18, 2004Link to this post
Laura T.Windsor, ONLoving It Thus Fari went from metal to ceramic, and went drom taking an hour to do my hair (and as soon as i got to the club/bar the humidity immediately fluffed and frizzed my har, and me having to wet it down) to seven minutes to straight (and my style last until i get it wet again) i chose solia because of the full-ceramic plates (+ tourmaline) and ceramic heating element. Ive had it for a month prior to writing this review, so lets hope it withstands the test of time!!posted Dec 18, 2004Link to this post
AnnettePhiladelphiaOmg!!!!!!I bought this iron a few days ago and i got it in literally 1 day!! the second i got it i ran upstairs to do my hair...i hadnt straigtend it that day yet and it was amazing!!!! it heated up in like 30 seconds and i was done my hair in 15 minutes!! i used to use a ceramic hot tools which did work well..except the plates didnt line up and it always ripped out my hair!! this is the best straightener ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!posted Dec 17, 2004Link to this post
Teri SherrinCoral Springs, FloridaEasy To Use IronI bought this flatiron after using a Solano Sapphire for a year or so; this iron was easier to handle than the Solano, did a nicer job on my hair, heated up quickly and has adjustable heat settings. For the price, this is an excellent choice! My hair is still not frizzy a day later!posted Dec 16, 2004Link to this post
BritbritDa Hood HoodOmg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it like doesnt even matter, all these bad reviews must be left by hai freaks and competitors maybe 1 in a million is defective but it doesnt matta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! solias are the best ive got a fro fro like tha po pos and i love it!!!!!posted Dec 16, 2004Link to this post
LaurenPhiladelphia, PAGood Stuffthe solia professional ceramic ion flat iron works great at straightening my hair. Even when it needs to be trimed, the flat iron does not leave my hair looking brittle, but fattens out all of the frizz.posted Dec 16, 2004Link to this post
ChristyCOGood Value For The PriceI had been using my roommates Chi for several months until she moved out, and I had to buy my own. I came on this website and saw that not only did the Solia get better reviews, it was cheaper than the Chi. So I bought the Solia, and Ive only had it for a few weeks, and my only complaint is that it yanks a few hairs out each time I use it. I love the way it straightens, though, and I think maybe the yanking will get better with time. Overall, its a great product!posted Dec 15, 2004Link to this post
FalyneAustin, TXWay Better Than Chigreat straightener...worth the money, less the Chi and better! I got one for my b-day then bought one for a friend at christmas I was so happy with it. Definitly worth the money!posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post
Alyce CaplanMD Suburbs Of DCA Flat Iron To Call My OwnThis is the 3rd iron for our home. The other 2 were another well known brand recommended by the lady that has done our hair for over 10 years. I cant wait to show her this one; I think she will love it over the brand she has been using. I ordered this one because I was tired of sharing with my 2 daughters, and now they are sooo jealous! I did my homework, and felt this would be kind to my hair - since I have been coloring it for years.I ordered it on Friday, with the free shipping (UPS ground), and had it delivered on Monday! There are so many features about it that are great - I had to play with temp control until I found the right one, without making it too hot, and I L-O-V-E the swivel cord! The other irons was a pain - always getting twisted and caught on on the door knobs on the vanity. I am sure that I will be using this for years to come! I would rate this a 12 on a scale of 1-5 !!!posted Dec 14, 2004Link to this post

Those of you familiar with the UA WordPress Theme have probably seen the contact form shortcode. It's a basic contact form with a couple of customizations. For most people looking to add a contact form to a web page, the shortcode does the job. However, when you want a custom form things can get more complicated. I have recently built a new plugin that I hope will make things a bit simpler.
Visual Form Builder is a free WordPress plugin that lets you dynamically build forms using a simple interface. Every form includes jQuery validation and a basic logic verification system as well as entry tracking.
A simple script
This plugin started out not as a plugin, but as a relatively simple PHP script that programmatically output the appropriate form code based on what fields and requirements I needed. This first attempt wasn't a failure by any means, but it did use some convoluted methods to construct the form. If I had stopped here, I could have used the tool for a while and been happy with it because it was significantly faster than manually building a form.
The problem with this script was that it was something that really only I would be able to use and my goal was to create something that my co-workers at Web Communications and perhaps others within the UA web community could use.
With that in mind, I decided to turn the script into a form builder plugin for WordPress.
Building a form builder
Having released several other plugins in the last year, getting this one started was fairly straightforward. Before I began building, I mapped out the requirements I hoped to meet:
- Use WordPress HTML/CSS for the admin panel to reduce design maintenance and present familiarity to the user.
- Make it easy to add form fields.
- Include support for fieldsets.
- Order form fields using a drag-and-drop interface.
- Use jQuery Form Validation to validate clientside.
- Don't use a CAPTCHA system for anit-SPAM verification.
- Log all form submissions in the database.
- Export entries to a CSV.
With these features in mind, I began coding. Not all of these features made it into the first version, but they are there now.
Certainly there are some other form builder plugins available for WordPress, including some commercial tools that offer a wide range of features. The idea behind Visual Form Builder was to provide a quality, free alternative to the UA web community (or anyone else who finds it useful).
How do I use Visual Form Builder?
I've tried to make it as easy as possible to add and customize a form and have even added some help text to the contextual help tab at the top of the plugin page. Here's a quick primer on creating your first form.
- After downloading, installing, and activating the plugin, go to Settings→Visual Form Builder.
- Click on the + tab, give your form a name and click Create Form.
- Click the form fields from the box on the left called Form Items to add it to your form.
- Edit the information for each form field by clicking on the down arrow.
- Drag and drop the elements to put them in order.
- Customize the Email Details and Confirmation
- Click Save Form to save your changes.
- Copy the shortcode from the box on the left called Form Output
- Paste into any Post or Page and save your changes
If you have other questions, you can check the FAQ or leave me a comment.
Download it now and let me know if you have any suggestions, bug reports, or feedback.

Observed fall | Yes |
Fall date | 28 September 1969 |
TKW | 100 kg |
Pair of grains from the Murchison meteorite |
The Murchison meteorite is named after Murchison, Victoria, in Australia. It is one of the most studied meteorites due to its large mass (>100 kg), the fact that it was an observed fall, and that it belongs to a group of meteorites rich in organic compounds.
On 28 September 1969 at about 10:58 local time, near the town of Murchison, Victoria, in Australia, a bright fireball was observed to separate into three fragments before disappearing,[1] leaving a cloud of smoke. About 30 seconds later, a tremor was heard. Many fragments were found over an area larger than 13 km², with individual mass up to 7 kg; one, weighing 680 g, broke through a roof and fell in hay.[1] The total collected mass exceeds 100 kg.
Classification and composition[edit]
The meteorite belongs to the CM group of carbonaceous chondrites (see meteorite classification). Like most CM chondrites, Murchison is petrologic type 2, which means that it experienced extensive alteration by water-rich fluids on its parent body[2] before falling to Earth. CM chondrites, together with the CI group, are rich in carbon and are among the most chemically primitive meteorites.[3] Like other CM chondrites, Murchison contains abundant CAIs. Over 15 amino acids (some of the basic components of life) have been identified in the meteorite.[4] All the amino acids found in the Murchison meteorite have been synthesized in laboratory experiments by the action of electric discharge on a mixture of methane, nitrogen, and water with traces of ammonia.[4]
Organic matter[edit]
Murchison contains common amino acids such as glycine, alanine and glutamic acid as well as unusual ones like isovaline and pseudoleucine.[5] A complex mixture of alkanes was isolated as well, similar to that found in the Miller-Urey experiment. Serine and threonine, usually considered to be earthly contaminants, were conspicuously absent in the samples. A specific family of amino acids called diamino acids was identified in the Murchison meteorite as well.[6]
The initial report stated that the amino acids were racemic (that is, the chirality of their enantiomers are equally left- and right-handed), suggesting that the compounds were not terrestrial or at least were formed in an abiotic manner. More research found that some of the amino acids were of left-handed chirality,.[7] This led some to suspect terrestrial contamination, since it would be "unusual for an abiotic stereoselective decomposition or synthesis of amino acids to occur with protein amino acids but not with non-protein amino acids."[8] In 1997 research showed that individual amino-acid enantiomers from Murchison were more enriched in the nitrogen isotope 15N compared to their terrestrial counterparts, which confirmed an extraterrestrial source for an L-enantiomer excess in the Solar System.[9] The list of organic materials identified in the meteorite was extended to polyols by 2001.[10]
Compound class[11] | Concentration (ppm) |
Amino acids | 17-60 |
Aliphatic hydrocarbons | >35 |
Aromatic hydrocarbons | 3319 |
Fullerenes | >100 |
Carboxylic acids | >300 |
Hydrocarboxylic acids | 15 |
Purines and pyrimidines | 1.3 |
Alcohols | 11 |
Sulphonic acids | 68 |
Phosphonic acids | 2 |
Building on the idea that homochirality (existence of only left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars) is triggered by deposition of chiral molecules on meteorites, research in 2005 demonstrated that an amino acid like L-proline is capable of catalyzing the formation of chiral sugars. The catalysis is non-linear, that is proline with an enantiomeric excess of 20% yields an allose with enantiomeric excess of 55% starting from a benzyloxyacetaldehyde in a sequential aldol type reaction in an organic solvent like DMF.[12] In other words a small enantiomeric excess of left-handed amino acids may explain terrestrial life's preference for right-handed sugars.
Several lines of evidence indicate that the interior portions of well-preserved fragments from Murchison are pristine. A 2010 study using high resolution analytical tools including spectroscopy, identified 14,000 molecular compounds including 70 amino acids in a sample of the meteorite.[13][14] The limited scope of the analysis by mass spectrometry provides for a potential 50,000 or more unique molecular compositions, with the team estimating the possibility of millions of distinct organic compounds in the meteorite.[15]
Measured purine and pyrimidine compounds are indigenous components of the Murchison meteorite. Carbon isotope ratios for uracil and xanthine of δ13C = +44.5‰ and +37.7‰, respectively, indicate a non-terrestrial origin for these compounds. These results demonstrate that many organic compounds which are components of life on Earth, were already present in the early solar system and may have played a key role in life's origin.[16]
