well! yes, it's been ages since I updated this blog. I'm not sure I want to get back to writing and updating regularly, but as the year is drawing to a close I am thinking about all that's happened and kind of taking score, and thought I'd fill in this huge gap between january 2014 and today... almost 2 years, unbelievable!
Ren (husband) and I are still good. We have good months and not so good months, but that's the normal ebb and flow of a 20+ year relationship I guess. Right now we're in a really good period and I'm enjoying it lots! He is still with his GF Lou, the one I don't like and trust for many reasons - I never see her, she only comes to the house when I'm not here. The past year, we've managed to have very little tension or disagreements about that though. He's been seeing another woman for about a year and a half now. I really like her and she sometimes spends the night when I'm also home. She is long distance, as is Lou. But Ren doesn't mind that he doesn't see them very often, he needs an awful lot of me-time
So, Brig and I broke up summer 2014. I loved him, and we are still friends (though we don't see each other very often - it was an amicable break up for sure) but just weren't compatible at all sexually. Another thing was that while he liked the idea of poly, when it came down to the practical facts he was awkward and uncomfortable about it. The relationship sort of fizzled out without too many hard feelings.
I did get back together with Curlz in January 2014. I started spending weekends at his house again, we sometimes went away together, he came to my city and spent the night at my place. When I think back, and look at that time, I think that I was almost more in love with his house and the domesticity of our relationship than with him. He had such a lovely and well cared for house and had a real knack for creating atmosphere - wine and candles and good food and clean, nice smelling sheets etc... I just loved spending time there, and he was always very attentive, asking many questions, very good at my love language Quality Time...But yeah, two things were a continous frustration: the fact that the sex was pretty impossible, and the fact that he was always breaking up and getting back together with his other (single, mono)GF. I finally broke up with him in the fall of 2015 and while I do still miss him sometimes, it's been a relief.
MrBrown and I are at a standstill. I think at this point we are friends who don't see each other very often. I don't want a sexual relationship with him anymore. It's complicated, it hurts, I miss him, but right now I am glad that we are not communicating - I just can't deal with his fierce autonomy. I think he is a relationship anarchy posterchild, and while I have RA aspirations, the way he does it is not really how I want to become.
Knight is still my platonic boyfriend. We tried to be less platonic twice, summer 2014 and last summer as well. But I think we both know that that is not the way for us. I love him deeply and I am so glad he is in my life. We see each other about once every 2 or 3 months for one evening. It's intense, he inspires me, lifts me up, he knows me and sees me, and I think we have an amazing connection that I value very very much.
And ! I've been in a new relationship for over a year now. I suppose I should give him a nickname in case I do start updating more regularly! Hm. Bo, I guess. We met on OKC (he contacted me, he's 10 years younger, lives 10 minutes away. He's cute and funny and nerdy and adorable. He has another GF, a woman who is also married (with a small child no less) and he is in a D/s relationship with her, with him being the sub. This has been the cause of some, ha let's be honest, major anxiety - especially in the beginning when I was still uncertain about our connection and trying to feel out his intentions with me etc..
I have to say that he is an almost perfect poly partner. He treats us both as his equal partners and is completely open about everything. He talks to me about her and to her about me. I've met her a couple of times which has helped with the anxiety about the kink -because I could see she might be his Domme, she's also just a regular woman with her own stuff and shit to deal with. Bo has met my husband and sometimes comes over for dinner and spends the night - while I like relationships compartmentalized, and don't want kitchen table style poly, the fact that everybody knows everybody and is relaxed about it is really nice. Bo is completely committed to his poly life, and while I've known him, told his family, co workers and friends about it.
He's also one of the most sex positive guys I've ever dated, he adores me, and we have a ton of fun in the bedroom
So while things have been mostly good, it's also been a difficult year where I've struggled a lot with anxiety and depression. Sometimes triggered by relationship issues but also sometimes triggered by work and family stuff, and sometimes these anxiety rears its ugly head and I have no idea why and where it comes from. It sucks, that's for sure.

I am SO bad with dates... I did not break up with C fall of 2015, as I wrote, but fall of 2014, about 6 months after we got back together. It's a silly thing to correct but I just don't want it on record that our relationship dragged on for a year and a half when it was only 6 months!
So right now I have 2 relationships. I feel poly saturated, though I sometimes feel that there would be room for some sexual fun, especially now that MrBrown is out of the picture. He was the guy I experimented with most...
I've been chatting with a guy on OKC, he wants to meet. I told him not before January, but that in principle, i am interested. Still, I am not sure if I should date. I wonder if dating someone new (casually) is a good idea, with all the anxiety I am experiencing. I made a deal with myself that I had to be 'anxiety attack free' for at least 2 weeks before I would allow myself to date again. I've never managed that, the past 5 years or so....

It's been a few days since I've felt anxious about my relationship with Bo. Actually.. it's been almost a week, and this is, I think, a new record. I'm trying to analyze or understand why this is the case, because maybe that will help me with future anxiety.. but so far, I can't find anything that is really different about this week.
Anxiety about Bo usually begins when there is less communication, when he doesn't reply fast enough to a text, and / or when I don't know when we are going to see each other again. But, I can also get terribly anxious the day before we have a date, so there doesn't really seem to be a logic to it.
I know anxiety spikes when there is a lull in communication and when I, at that point, am unable to let that lull just 'be', and I begin to prod and poke and try to get him to respond, by asking questions or just saying hi (in text) etc. He will usually respond, and that will make me feel good for a very short minute, but it doesn't really work because of course he did not initiate this contact, it was just a response, so does it really mean anything? At that point my imagination goes into overdrive and I start to think (and then believe, like it is a fact) that he cannot possibly be interested in me, that it is certain that he values his other GF much more. And then I start beating myself up about being so insecure and then the circle is complete and it's a spiral that is VERY hard to get out of.
Anyway, this has been a really good week and I wish I knew why, if I did something differently. So far, I have no idea. I guess I'd better enjoy the feeling then

There've been some anxious thought sand worries, but nothing as bad as a couple of months ago. Fingers crossed that this positive trend will continue.
I spent half my christmas with Ren and half of it with Bo. Both days were really great. Reconnecting, lots of good talks, and great food. They are so utterly different, these guys, and I love them both so much.
I had lots of thoughts about the numerous posts on the forum about ones poly style - ' kitchen table' versus compartmentalization.
I love to compartmentalize, and have always done this even with friendships - I like seeing my friends one on one. Still Ren and I do have friends we see together, events and thing we get invited to as a couple, automatically, because we have been for years. After being with Bo for over a year this is something that is beginning to ... not bother me exactly, but I am thinking about it. It is like I don't like the fact that Ren is my default partner for these occasions, because Bo is becoming more and more important. Still I don't see how it would or could work otherwise. It would be really strange to suddenly take Bo to a party instead of Ren. Ren would feel left out and my friends would feel weird because Ren is their friend too. And taking them both would not be an option for me. I don't know!

Apple's WatchOS 3 Getting Performance Boost, New Health Features
Slated for release in the fall, the next version of the Apple Watch OS will get improved performance and key ease-of-use improvements.The third generation of the Apple Watch operating system, watchOS 3, will debut in the fall and include a wide range of upgrades that aim to make Apple Watch performance faster and more useful for customers. Among the key additions to watchOS 3 are all-new health and fitness functions, instant app launching capabilities, enhanced user interface navigation, a new Breathe relaxation app and "significantly improved performance," according to Apple. The company showed off a preview of the upcoming OS at the opening day of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2016 in San Francisco on June 13. The new health and fitness features include direct tie-ins with social media platforms so that Apple Watch users will be able to instantly share their fitness experiences and compete with their friends to motivate each other to reach their fitness goals, according to Apple. Friends will get notifications about each other's progress, including completed Activity rings, finished workouts and earned achievements. This activity sharing will now be directly connected to the Messages app through a new Smart Replies function that is customized to report on a user's activities and workouts. In addition, the Activity app in the upcoming watchOS 3 OS will be optimized for wheelchair users so they can monitor their wheelchair pushes and all-day calorie goals. For wheelchair users, the "time to stand" reminder that reminds users to keep moving will be changed to "time to roll," while also offering dedicated wheelchair-specific workouts.
A new Dock in watchOS 3 will allow users to press the watch face or the side button to instantly and easily access their recent and favorite native and third-party apps for fast viewing. Also new are capabilities to swipe up from the watch face to access a new and improved Control Center, swipe down to access the Notification Center, or swipe left or right to easily switch out a watch face.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
2:4 exalts himself against every so-called god. This description of the man of lawlessness echoes that of Daniel's little "horn" (Dan. 7:8, 20, 21; 8:9–12; cf. 11:31, 36) and foreshadows John's description of the beast from the sea (Rev. 13:1–8).
takes his seat in the temple of God. Some conclude from this verse that the temple in Jerusalem, still standing when Paul wrote but destroyed in a.d. 70, must be rebuilt for the use of "the man of lawlessness." Others understand "temple" in another of its New Testament meanings, as the church (Eph. 2:19–22; 1 Pet. 2:5). The reference may be an intentionally exaggerated way of talking about the imposter's aspirations to heavenly power. Just as another prototype of sin, the king of Babylon wanted to set his throne in heaven (Is. 14:13, 14; cf. the king of Tyre in Ezek. 28:2), so the man of lawlessness will boast of himself as the possessor of God's heavenly sanctuary (Rev. 13:6).

VIX - Market Sentiment
Friday, was the first time in a long while where futures were off significantly moving into the opening bell. The S&P futures traded down more than 13 handles in the pre-market before recovering and opening around the 1335 level. Negative Europe numbers and news of a lack of a Greek deal heavily weighed on futures.
The spot CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) went north of 20 today at the open. Volatility ETFs (NYSEARCA:VXX), 2x ETF (NASDAQ:TVIX), at the open performed very well throughout the day and into the close. This is simply due to the immediate spike in front month VIX futures which these instruments track. This is the first time for a VIX reading over 20 since January 30th and is the first close above since January 18th. This skittishness is simply a concern the Greek deal over the weekend could not get done has caused VIX futures to soar as shown below.
February VIX futures 19.85
March VIX futures 21.70
April VIX futures 23.08
February VIX futures 21.80
March VIX futures 23.60
April VIX futures 24.30
This means everything S&P ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY), Nasdaq (NASDAQ:QQQ) and Russell ETF (NYSEARCA:IWM) puts for the sixth day in a row all saw more than 2:1 puts trading over calls with almost 50% being bought at the ask. Today more than 146K ISE puts traded as opening positions and all top block trades today were on the put side of the house. The puts outnumbered calls today more than 2.6:1 and 47% of the puts were bought at the offer price. Interesting here of the calls being bought more than 48% were on the offer so the bulls are not quite done yet. Puts traded more than 2.44 million contracts which were the heaviest of the last six days of heavy put buying.
If one looks at the trading of VXX, TVIX and SPY the price action suggests if we do not have a deal on Monday for Greece we could possibly be in for a very nasty day for equities. Traders who were short "volatility" were paying up big as shown with the large spike in options for these names. Overall option paper was good today as we traded more than 21.5 million contracts as people position for potential market moving news on Monday. Regardless long or short we could be in for a wild week next week, retracing back to pivots or moving through 1350.
Options Paper
Frontier Communications (NYSE:FTR) saw share prices slide more than 3% today and IV move up hard moving into earnings. Just two days after exiting my long on FTR it appears some bulls are betting for a move up in the stock as more than 10x normal calls traded today with 25K bought at the ask. This is more than 70% of the calls bought today were at the ask. More than 28K of the February 4 calls traded today on heavy buying pressure. Calls outnumbered puts more than 3:1 on the trading day.
Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE:NWL) has been hot on the sonar over the last few days and today more than 10K of the June 20 calls were bought between 1.00 and 1.05. NWL calls have been very active of late outpacing puts and this is confirmed as average open interest in NWL for calls is 25K and puts 19K. NWL is now trading before today's action at 57K calls and only 11K puts which is extremely bullish. More than 70% of the calls over the past few days have been bought on the offer which again is bullish for this name. Because NWL follows the market I am waiting until Monday to possibly initiate a move into this position.
Popular ETFs and equity names with bullish/bearish paper in terms of call/put ratios:
Calls outnumbering puts:
CareFusion (NYSE:CFN) 3147:1 (Yes 3.1K calls and only 1 put traded today)
Angies List (NASDAQ:ANGI) 626:1 (Mostly call selling)
Take-Two (NASDAQ:TTWO) 129:1
Vaalco (NYSE:EGY) 120:1
LeapFrog (NYSE:LF) 94:1
KBR Inc. (NYSE:KBR) 87:1
Bemis (NYSE:BMS) 79:1
El Paso (EP) 52:1
Pep Boys (NYSE:PBY) 44:1
Short QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:SQQQ) 47:1
Puts outnumbering calls:
Japanese Yen ETF (NYSEARCA:FXY) 53:1
International Flavors (NYSE:IFF) 40:1
Vornado Realty (NYSE:VNO) 28:1
Ventas (NYSE:VTR) 26:1

Teradyne (NYSE:TER) 15:1
Accretive Health (AH) 14:1
Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ:CRUS) 10:1
Kroger (NYSE:KR) 10:1 (Mostly put selling so appears bullish)
Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) 8:1
Germany ETF (NYSEARCA:EWG) 8:1
Qihoo 360 (NYSE:QIHU) 7:1
Volatility Explosion
Believe it or not today the volatility explosion is actually on the volatility ETF VXX mentioned earlier in this article. VXX premium screamed to the upside after heavy climbing more than 25% to the 90% level. Interestingly enough with the stock moving up hard today one would think calls would be the primary buyers here but the puts were also bought today more than 53% on the ask. Option volume was more than 4x average daily volume as puts outnumbered calls more than 1.5:1. The largest trade today was a buyer of the Feb 24-22 put 1:2 spread and a buyer of the April 21 puts 9,229 times for .73. The bears and bulls have battled on this before and it appears we are in for even more in the upcoming weeks.
Volatility Implosion
LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) and Nuance (NASDAQ:NUAN) both saw share prices move heavy after reporting earnings last night. This is the tale of two earnings as LNKD reported an unexpected beat in earnings where NUAN missed and had poor guidance. Regardless both stocks IV collapsed more than 20% relative after earnings but the options show two completely different opinions on these names. LNKD saw calls bought and puts sold throughout the day when it relates to net deltas and premiums. NUAN on the other hand saw more call purchasing but did not have the conviction of LNKD as puts were not being sold as much in this name.
Speculative Play Friday
Investors who like earnings plays will like this speculate play Friday. Rackspace (NYSE:RAX) is a name I have been short and wrong on for quite some time. I still am not huge on the name but options activity shows this cloud stock could be ready for a move higher. Today alone 3K of the February 50 calls were bought and this follows heavy call flows over the last few days. I owned the 43-38 put spread following in a large trade back in December which I closed last week which I took a significant loss.
As always happy trading and stay hedged.

Technical support working group officials, in a recent briefing
to industry representatives, pointed to a list of "2004 success
stories," technologies developed during the previous year,
including these:
The Rapidscan Secure 1000, from Rapidscan Secure Systems, of Hawthorne,
Calif., is designed to detect metallic and non-metallic objects—such
as conventional metal weapons, ceramic knives, explosives, illegal
drugs and other contraband—concealed under a person's
The Remote Firing Device, made by ETI, of Orlando, Fla., is intended
to provide state and local bomb-disposal squads and similar agencies
with an extremely rugged, low-cost system for exploding bombs from
a safe distance. The device is so popular among bomb squads that
it is going into its second production run, TSWG officials said.
Escape hoods are being tested to ensure that they meet the full-range
of capabilities needed following a terrorist chemical, biological,
radiological or nuclear incident. The hoods are designed to provide
at least 15 minutes of protection while users evacuate to a safe
area. More than 200,000 of the hoods—made by such firms as
Quick Protective Systems, of Stuart, Fla., and Mine Safety Appliances,
of Pittsburgh, Pa.—have been sold.
The Fiber Optic Remote Amplifier Extension System (FORAX), made
by Syntonics LLC, of Columbia, Md., enables military units to relocate
radio antennas up to a kilometer away from their transmitters. That
makes it easier for them to communicate from the deep underground,
inside buildings and below ship decks.
Talon, a product of Foster-Miller Inc., of Waltham, Mass., is a
low-cost, highly portable miniature reconnaissance robot designed
for explosive ordnance disposal operations. EOD units have bought
more than 140 of them at a cost of $110,000 apiece.
The Z Backscatter Van Drive-By Screening System, built by American
Science and Engineering Inc., of Billerica, Mass., is built into
commercially available delivery van. It can be deployed quickly,
and one or two operators can conduct x-ray imaging of a suspect
vehicle as the van passes it.

"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it's the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."
"Popular culture is really invisible. People are really visually illiterate. They learn to read in school, but they don't learn to decode images. They're not taught to look at films and recognize them as things that are put together. They see film as a kind of nature, like trees. They don't say, 'Oh yeah, somebody made that, somebody cut that.' They don't think about visual things that way. So visual culture just surrounds them, but people are oblivious to it."

I'm hungry so I ordered fries and a burger.
I'm pouring ketchup on my fries and my coffee needs sugar.
This burger is delicious, I can't believe how good it tastes.
I'm gobbling it down, it will not go to waste.
I love burgers, they are my favorite food.
Just thinking about them puts me in a good mood.

Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

A Variational Framework for Non-local Image Inpainting

Non-local methods for image denoising and inpainting have gained considerable attention in recent years. This is in part due to their superior performance in textured images, a known weakness of purely local methods. Local methods on the other hand have demonstrated to be very appropriate for the recovering of geometric structure such as image edges. The synthesis of both types of methods is a trend in current research. Variational analysis in particular is an appropriate tool for a unified treatment of local and non-local methods. In this work we propose a general variational framework for the problem of non-local image inpainting, from which several previous inpainting schemes can be derived, in addition to leading to novel ones. We explicitly study some of these, relating them to previous work and showing results on synthetic and real images.

Comments about My Little Snugapuppy Deluxe Rock 'n Play Sleeper:
My child loves this lounger. We use it all the time. You dont want to have to hold your child or leave them in a carseat or swing. This is perfect and so lightweight I can carry it with one finger. It folds so it is easy to transport as well. I love this item and would buy it even if it cost double the price. It is definitely worth it. In the future this is the gift I will buy for others having babies.

Comments about My Little Snugapuppy Deluxe Rock 'n Play Sleeper:
I must admit I was a little skeptical when I received the package because one side of the box was bulging out and it was taped on both sides, leading me to believe it may have been used; but when I opened the box, I could tell it was brand new. I put it together which was easy and it seems very sturdy. I loveeee this sleeper and I cannot wait for my baby to try it out. I'm so happy with this purchase.

Comments about My Little Snugapuppy Deluxe Rock 'n Play Sleeper:
I bought both the Snugapuppy and Snugamonkey Rock 'n Play Sleepers to compare them. I already had the Snugamonkey sleeper but then was curious about the Snugapuppy with the vibration feature! The colors of the Snugapuppy are more neutral and blend in better in our living room. The padding on both of them were similar. The vibration on the Snugapuppy is nice but is a little loud because it causes the base of the sleeper to vibrate which shakes the open/close button the end of the sleeper which is already annoying. I do not like the ears on the Snugapuppy because they just get in the way when laying the baby down because they are not sewn in any specific position and I am worried about them accidentally covering the baby's face. In the end, I'm keeping the Snugapuppy sleeper but wish the ears were like the Snugamonkey and wish the vibration did not cause any extra noise.

8 Steps To A More Effective B2B Content Marketing Program

Sales Prospecting Perspectives
When someone is 'above the line', they tend to analyze a situation and determine what " they " need to do in order to either solve or execute on the task put in front of them.

Health Magazine
They say that politics is one of the two subjects that should never be discussed at parties. I've never really found that to be true. Autism politics however is an entirely different story. It always seems to start fights. I've discussed autism politics on this blog before though not intentionally but this time, I want to tackle the problem in a more deliberate way.
In the past, I've talked about advocacy, the curbie movement and some of the initial reactions to the proposed changes to the DSM. Recently there was a flare up of political debate following some comments on another blog but I'm not here to talk about that one - it's too hot.
It did get me thinking however. Perhaps if the feelings of people on different sides of the debate could be explored in peaceful circumstances they could promote understanding instead of conflict. It's a high-handed idea with little real chance of success but I think it's worth a shot.
To that end, this post is concerned with the two main symbols of autism/aspergers; the jigsaw puzzle piece and the rainbow. I have my own views on both of these but I'm hoping that you, my readers will add to the list of reasons (why or why not) instead of just choosing sides.
The Case For
The jigsaw puzzle piece suggests that although we're all different shapes and although we may seem odd by ourselves, together we make up something beautiful which is more than the sum of its parts. Other explanations I've heard are; "each child in themselves is a piece of puzzle of autism.". Actually, I'm not sure if that counts for or against the puzzle piece.
In some cases, the "autism pieces" of the puzzle are rainbow coloured while the "neurotypical pieces" are boring gray colours and all the same. There's also the autism ribbon shown above which is widely accepted. I've heard that some people are happy with the colours and the puzzle pieces but dislike the idea that a ribbon makes them seem like a "survivor". In the end though, I don't think you can please everyone.
As a symbol, the puzzle piece is easy to draw and quite recognisable although having met someone with a puzzle piece tattoo (you know who you are), I was quite surprised to be told that it was because she "belonged" to a group (a family) and was a bit of a puzzle. It wasn't the answer I was expecting.
The rainbow colours make a good symbol and usually signify the spectrum. In this case, the light spectrum is symbolising the autism spectrum. It makes sense and it looks pretty. Personally, I like the fact that the spectrum has a specific sequence. It's not that there is a specific order to different kinds of autism, it's just that many people with ASDs, myself included, love putting things into order.
You'll notice that I use the rainbow (and a head/brain) symbol for this blog. I think it signifies my own position. I like the rainbow but not the puzzle piece. I also deliberately chose a slightly different spectrum for my image because I wanted to suggest that the spectrum looks different depending upon where you are.
The last point that I want to make about the rainbow symbol is that to me it says that we align with nobody and everybody. It's not pink or blue for boys and girls and it's not country or racial colours. We're all in it together. We can be as individual as we like but we still fit into something. Essentially it says the same as the puzzle piece without the additional interpretation that there is a mystery to solve concerning us.
The Case Against
The puzzle piece symbol has generated quite a bit of anger and debate over the years and for many reasons.
There are those who say that it makes us out to be a game, a puzzle to be solved. This is not a good feeling to awaken in a group of people who are accustomed to being constantly poked, prodded, researched, surveyed and medicated by health professionals. We don't want to be studied and we don't want to be solved.
The group Autism Speaks (a whole political topic in itself which I may eventually discuss) chose the puzzle piece for their logo. The implication seems to be that once the puzzle is solved, everything will be alright. It's a curebie approach - or at least, that's how many people interpret it.
I haven't really noticed as many complaints about the rainbow though many teenage male aspies don't like the idea that they're represented by a bunch of "pretty colours".
A call for comments
So that's enough from me. There are good reasons both for and against the symbols and the colours. What do you think? Do you like one or the other? Do you have an alternative symbol you prefer? Does the symbol or the color stir good or bad feelings in you?

The reason I know that quantum physics is going to someday prove that parallel universes exist is that the one we're currently living in is so distorted and downright inexplicable that there must be one where logic and common sense aren't in such short supply.
Let's face it, boys and girls, Republicans and Democrats, Independents and Dependents, we're all Alice, and we've slipped through the Looking Glass into a world where up is down, left is right, and right is wrong.
Last week the Marine command recalled the vests that were supposed to be protecting our soldiers in Iraq because, oops, they didn't work. Later that week, the 1st Platoon of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment got into a firefight in northern Iraq against insurgents with armor piercing bullets that could go through concrete and walls and still be effective. The bullets our troops had been issued could go through concrete, but then would be traveling at the speed of a moth. Yesterday, one of the squads from that Platoon had their armored vehicle blown to bits–killing them all.
Yet another example of this administration's extraordinary failure to support out troops in Iraq.
Why are veterans groups so quiet? Why are the parents of these troops? Why are we all?
Bush lied to us about the reason for the war, he took us in unprepared for post-war reconstruction, his administration has sent Americans into battle without adequate protection, they lie about how many Iraqis have been trained to take over from U.S. troops. And we argue about whether some tube should be pulled on a comatose woman.
If this world is normal, I gotta find me a way into an another universe where people are abnormal.Powered by Sidelines

Scientists "de-SCIFER" Physicsof the Earth's Plasma Fountain
rocket, which flew in January 1995.
SCIFER, which stands for Sounding of the Cleft Ion Fountain Energization Region, carried two experiments from SSL designed to measure various plasma components in a particular region of the Earth's magnetosphere. The Cleft Ion Fountain is a plasma fountain that sprays plasma made from our atmosphere up over the poles and feeds the plasma storm process on the night side of the Earth. The SCIFER observations show that this region is richer in hydrogen plasma and depleted of oxygen plasma relative to earlier MSFC observations made from the Dynamics Explorer (DE) satellite. Scientists have attributed this result to a difference between high solar activity during the DE flight period and low solar activity during the SCIFER flight.
SCIFER also shows that the fountain heating or "energization region", has a very sharp boundary in the direction of the Earth's equator, only about 1 km thick. Furthermore, plasma in the energization region displays an inverse relationship between the density and temperature; where the temperature is high, the density is low, and vice-versa. This behavior is seen in both the electrons and the ions which make up the plasma. The physics involved in the heating region are not completely understood, however these are significant clues to the operative mechanisms of this heating.
A similar rocket payload named CAPER with two additional MSFC experiments has been selected for launch in early 1998 to further explore this region and better determine the mechanisms of heating.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Book DescriptionJane Eyre is a plain, determined and intelligent child. Orphaned and poor, she is adopted by her Aunt and Uncle Reed. The death of Uncle Reed allows her unpleasant aunt to send her away to a grim charity school, where she continues her harsh upbringing, but is given the education that finally frees her. Once old enough, she becomes a teacher and takes the role of governess in a large manor house, where she falls in love with her employer. But Rochester is hiding a secret that, when revealed, forces Jane to choose between following her head and her heart. Both critically acclaimed and immensely popular, Jane Eyre dealt with concepts of class discrimination, morality, equality for women, and freedom of choice. Designed to encourage readers to enjoy classical literature, Jane Eyre The Graphic Novel stays true to Bronte's original vision. The book includes 125 pages of story artwork (by the legendary comic book artist, John M. Burns) and fascinating support material detailing the life of Charlotte Bronte."

Science Chase Ends Up in Kissimmee Prairie
KPP Friends retrieve student's experimental balloon
A week later, ranger Chris Clauson and KPP volunteers came to the rescue. The Preserve swamp buggy took them most of the way, but the remaining distance off the trail had to be slogged on foot through tall grasses and wet marsh. Friends' board president, Tim Kozusko, a biologist at Kennedy Space Center, was first to reach the payload—in an area with over a foot of water, just a few paces from the GPS coordinates Chase had provided.
Chase's mom, Lisa, answered a call from the Preserve. Cheers could be heard in the background as she relayed the message that the balloon and contents had been recovered. The package was delivered the next day by Friend's board V.P., Christina Evans, and husband, Stan Czaplicki. As luck would have it, they live only three miles from Chase's home!
The Kissimmee Prairie Friends are happy to have played a part in Chase's latest experiment and look forward to his next project. We hope that he will come back to visit Kissimmee Prairie Preserve again!
Thank you to Chase Wiley's family for use of their photos and video to illustrate this story.

Just when you thought nothing could possibly top last week's premier episode of HBO's 24/7: Road to the NHL Winter Classic series, episode 2 stole the spotlight by a mile. Really, that was an extraordinary 60 minutes of television - maybe the best I've ever seen.
In episode two we get to see a lot more of the off-ice stuff, which is really what 24/7 is geared to present to its viewers. The show began with Henrik Lundqvist (and his Maserati) heading over to a studio to rock out with tennis star John McEnroe, as they were preparing for a performance they will put on together for a charity even in February. Now, watching this, I think everyone had the same thought: "Is there anything Henrik Lundqvist doesn't do?"
We are then taken to the apartment of Dan Girardi, where we met his 18-month-old son, Landon. Aside from the kid being a stud and wearing faded designer jeans under the age of two, he also had a wicked wrist shot and one-timer. I suggested on Twitter that Landon may have even looked sharper with a stick in his hand than Brandon Dubinsky does right now. I wasn't kidding, either.
The next time we saw the Rangers was in the locker room a day before their game in St. Louis, where head coach John Tortorella was going over film with his players. I thought this was up there with the best moments of episode 2, because we really got a glimpse as to how Tortorella has complete control of his players and how they respect and listen to his every word. He was candid, honest - just was advertised.
I found it interesting that he turned to Michael Del Zotto and told him that he was the club's best defensemen in their prior game, and also turned to captain Ryan Callahan to decide what time the team would leave the arena. Tortorella has a history of relying heavily on his captains, and we saw it there with Cally. Those two have tremendous respect for each other.
Several minutes later, Tortorella was not so easy-going when we were brought into the locker room after the team had gone down, 2-0, in the first period against St. Louis. That's when we saw our first Torts explosion, which included the following:
"I asked you to [expletive] defend. I've seen you [expletive] defend before! And you're gonna do it here. If that's how we're gonna battle, we're not going to have a chance TO WIN! Jesus Christ, how much time do we have to talk about it? If that's all the juice we have, as far as competing against that team, WE WILL GET KILLED TONIGHT. And we have two periods here. So I've asked you all to buy into how we have to play. If that's it, we're [expletive] done. PACK IT UP! And I know that this [expletive] team isn't that way. I'VE SEEN YA!
"We've got 40 [expletive] minutes to go. Take each shift at a time and chip away. They're not that good in their end zone. And we know our club. That's the biggest [expletive] positive of our team is how hard we play. So [expletive] screw it on right here. Screw it on and let's be ready to go each shift at a time. Stiffen up here! And if you're not going to be stiff you're not going to play!"
That's some heavy stuff, but I love it.
But then HBO did an amazing job of portraying Tortorella's soft side with the following segment, which has already been posted to YouTube:
I was completely speechless after watching that. I held back the tears, but it was tough. Words just don't do a story like that justice. Incredible.
The last we see of the Rangers is the team on a high note, following their 0.1 second win over the Phoenix Coyotes, in which we are finally shown the passing of the Broadway Hat (from Gaborik to Richards). Good stuff.
All in all, another compelling episode, with coach Tortorella stealing the show this time around. Can't wait for part three.
