Nope. Still hate it.

*SIgh* I can't work with clowns.

The fun part will be trying to figure out whether they are Phoenician, Egyptian, Greek or Roman.

Back in the seventies a charismatic preacher talked all the Baptist in our area to for go Halloween. Instead, they have fall festival for the kids with food and candy but it was like really, really str8. My coven used to skip that idiocy and go out in the woods and drink heavily and smoke lots of pot. Ah the memories.

Nope. Can't forget Tommy-boy. He's sold more speedo than Target.

Heh heh... I can work with that.

25 isn't old. In my humble opinion, it is just right.

try these. with liquor.

I'm sure that the searches I ran while writing In the Shadow of the Dragon got me written up. >>AGM-88 harm performance envelope >>AGM-84c harpoon flight characteristics >>shaped charge warheads >>weaponized yersina pestis >>BL-4 specifications Yeah... there's probably a black helicopter orbiting my house.

Labels are for cans of spam, the size of memory cards and boxers. They don't fit people especially well.

What a great movie for Halloween! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkY3avVDuYQ

Reentry Data Will Help Predictive Models 23 Oct 2015 Source:ESA A rare reentry of a suspected rocket body from a very high orbit next month offers an excellent opportunity to gather data to improve our knowledge of how objects interact with Earth’s atmosphere. The expected 13 November reentry of what is likely to be a rocket body poses very little risk to anyone but could help scientists improve our understanding of how any object – man-made or natural – interacts with Earth’s atmosphere. Observing and studying the reentry will help improve orbital models and reentry prediction tools, and can be used by scientists studying near-Earth objects (NEOs), such as natural asteroids, or the orbital decay of artificial objects such as satellites. It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2013 and has been observed several times since then by the same team, who have been sharing their data via the US-based Minor Planet Center (MPC), the International Astronomical Union’s official repository for such observations. Man Made Origins As confirmed by experts at ESA's NEO Coordination Centre (NEOCC), ESRIN, Italy, the object, dubbed WT1190F, is thought to be a discarded rocket body; it is orbiting Earth every three weeks in a highly ‘eccentric’ – that is, non-circular – orbit. “NEO experts have used observational data to estimate the object’s density, which turns out to be much less than that of the solid rocky material that comprises many asteroids,” says Detlef Koschny, responsible for NEO activities at ESA’s Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme office. “This density is in fact compatible with the object being a hollow shell, such as the spent upper stage of a rocket body or part of a stage.” Forecast Reentry Next Month It is now predicted to reenter Earth's atmosphere in a few weeks, around 06:19 GMT (11:49 local; 07:19 CET) on 13 November 2015. “The object is quite small, at most a couple of metres in diameter, and a significant fraction if not all of it can be expected to completely burn up in the atmosphere,” says Tim Flohrer, from ESA’s Space Debris Office at the ESOC operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Whatever is left is expected to fall into the ocean about 100 km off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Its mass is not sufficient to cause any risk to the area, but the show will still be spectacular, since for a few seconds the object will become quite bright in the mid-day sky. Tim says this object is rather special as it is likely man-made, but was discovered by an NEO monitoring system and its orbit has many similarities with an NEO orbit. This enables ESA experts to predict the impact time and location quite precisely, well in advance, which is usually not possible in comparison with reentering space-debris objects. The More Observations the Better During the next few weeks, the NEOCC will implement observational campaigns to collect as much data as possible on this object, explains Marco Micheli, as astronomer working at the NEOCC. “The first goal will be to better understand the reentry of satellites and debris from highly eccentric orbits,” he says. “Second, it provides an ideal opportunity to test our readiness for any possible future atmospheric entry events involving an asteroid, since the components of this scenario, from discovery to impact, are all very similar.” Astronomers who may wish to observe the object are welcome to contact ESA's NEOCC for further information. About Space Situational Awareness The objective of ESA’s SSA programme is to support Europe's independent utilisation of, and access to, space through the provision of timely and accurate information and data regarding the space environment, especially regarding hazards to infrastructure in orbit and on the ground. In general, these hazards stem from possible collisions between objects in orbit, harmful space weather and potential strikes by natural objects, such as asteroids, that cross Earth’s orbit.

Kyle Allen - starting QB for Texas A&M He's one of the most talented sophomores I've ever seen. Someday, he'll play on Sundays. Probably better upside potential than Johnny Manziel. Work ethic and coach-ability is outstanding. 7 games into the 2015 season he has 11 td passes and a 179 qb rating. Expect this boy-next-door to eventually become a top flight NFL passer.

University of Utah at Cedar City ___________________________________________ "Can I talk to you?" I looked up from my desk and saw one of my students at my office door. "Sure Cal, come on in. I'm a little busy trying to figure out why an earthquake fault that hasn't moved in 250,000 years just decided to go renegade and hit the valley with a 4.8." Cal Morris was one of my brighter geology students. Coming from a dusty little town in Nevada, I suppose you either went compl

Happy birthday bro.

I'm evil and sociopathic. I can walk away from people and not look back. After all- that's what str8 people taught me was the norm.

Always love your stuff but... by chapter 54, isn't the New Kid in School fairly well established by now???

the only winners to emerge thus far: the orthopedic surgeons

The World Health Organization stats are frightening. HIV/AIDS has killed 37.2 million people and 78 million people are infected. Spanish Flu killed 20-40 million in 1918. No one knows how many people Black Death killed. HIV/AIDS has been one of the deadliest outbreaks in world history.

So far it's worked for me.

In 1988 it was a death sentence. Everyone was afraid. If you want to know what it was like, this episode of the original 21 Jump Street did a very good job setting the mood. Thank your lucky stars that you don't have to be afraid to find random friends and acquaintances in the obituaries- every frikkin day. There are some that say that we will look back and be thankful that the AIDS crisis galvanized the gay community and brought us together like never before. We will be thankful that we now know more about viruses and infectious diseases than ever before. Maybe. Someday. I ain't there yet.

I've got B5 and Battlestar(2003). I pull them out for snow days or when I'm home sick and bored. Stuff that I haven't seen listed are War at Sea, 21 Jump Street (original) and 24. Don't buy retail. You can bet this stuff cheap on E-bray.

I don't either (anymore) but between those two, somebody is going to barf.

At least you guys don't have a Ryan.
