Water

Which Earth Element Are You?



Water
You like to flow from place to place. You make your way through life as quickly and easily as possible. Your not known for many things. Try to maybe take it slower sometimes, and live life to the fullest as they say! Still, you are not a bad person to be around. Eventually, you will find you think you belong and things won't seem as confusing as they might now. Water is awesome!

Yay Science!

I found this article on people pc, my new internet provider. It's highspeed dial up, baby.
The two teams basically agree, within their margins of error, that the evolutionary lineages of Neanderthals and modern humans split somewhere around 500,000 years ago, he said. That number had been suggested by far more limited DNA analysis before, so it's comforting to see it backed up with more extensive analyses, he said.
Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans coexisted in Europe for thousands of years, until Neanderthals died out some 28,000 years ago. Scientists have been debating whether the two groups interbred and whether modern humans carry some genetic remnants of Neanderthals.
Rubin said his analysis, like some previous work, found no evidence of such intermixing, though it'll take more DNA to rule it out.
Paabo's analysis didn't directly address whether modern humans have DNA from Neanderthals, but it did raise speculation that DNA from anatomically modern humans might have found its way into Neanderthals. Scientists will have to examine more Neanderthal DNA to study that, he said.

Vindication

I love my mother. Read about the spaghetti phenomenon. Ok, its not a phenomenon, but as a kid I thought it was a freaking nightmare. When I would go to my grandparent's house or my "real" dad's house for those rare visits, they would sometimes excitedly ask me if I wanted spaghetti for supper. "NO WAY!" was my usual, emphatic, response. Ma blogged about it for me, and I feel vindicated. Believe me, it was bad. It was 15 years bad!

Some of you might know that I am taking some time off from blogging. My heart isn't in it, I am tired, and was sick for almost 3 weeks. Things got nasty between me and C and I had it. We were both sick, and our "filters" were down, and we freaked out. So I stopped blogging.

I am happy not blogging so much. It is so time consuming. So I visit one or two people if I feel like it, no obligations. I post if I feel like it, when I feel like it, if I feel like it. Right now, I feel like it.

I am putting my energy into doing some projects around here- something different for me and new. And no, I am not going to blog about it. When I talk about stuff I am going to do before I do it, it usually backfires or doesn't happen. Sorry, these lips are sealed.

Night.

Lunar explorers face moon dust dilemma

As NASA planners gear up to replant astronauts on the lunar surface before 2020, scientists and engineers are grappling with how best to certify a safe and productive stay for 21st-century moonwalkers.
...
Halekas recounted a technical debrief by Apollo 17's Gene Cernan after his 1972 Moon voyage.
Cernan said that "one of the most aggravating, restricting facets of lunar surface exploration is the dust and its adherence to everything no matter what kind ... and its restrictive friction-like action to everything it gets on." The astronaut added: "You have to live with it but you're continually fighting the dust problem both outside and inside the spacecraft."
...
Dust adhesion is likely increased by the angular barbed shapes of lunar dust, found to quickly and effectively coat all surfaces it comes into contact with. Additionally, that clinging is possibly due to electrostatic charging, Halekas explained.
...
Countering the pervasive nature of the dust, however, will take some doing- specifically if the lunar landscape is to be reworked with resource-processing paraphernalia and dotted with living quarters.
Habitats will need to be overpressurized to account for inevitable leaks, especially around entrances, Taylor suggested. Fine particles of dust suspended in electrostatic levitation around the Moon, he pointed out, would need to be dealt with so as not to muck up lunar-based astronomy of the surrounding cosmos.

Sign me up, I'm sick of this place.
