I played to quickly. As of 27,000 my answer of 16 was three to high. I am guessing it will be the right answer in around 5 minutes

Very good comparison!! I just pulled my gf's attention away from her ipad to read this to her. My only fear is that rather than loosen up the practice of dentistry, the government will begin tighter licensing on hand tool usage.

The part that bothered me was the fact that the Web developer made 40K to start, and he worried that getting a boost to 70K might make him too satisfied to better himself. I was under the impression that west coast salaries where a bit hig

This is a good reason for capital punishment for congressmen. I cannot express my feelings in a public forum.

My favorite guide to meditation is: Being nobody Going nowhere by ayya khema This subject also highlights how irrational i am. I still remember how beneficial meditation was for me when I practiced it. But getting back into the practice ..

I was quite excited to find my copy waiting outside my door tonight. I am saving it for some bed time reading. I have been waiting about 20 years for this edition. When I was taking my electronics class in school my old-school professor s

Fun stuff about Twain that I learned recently: He befriended Hellen Keller and helped get her funded. He was good pals with Tesla. The back story on Hellen Keller is pretty impressive too.

Some fun books I remember were "A wrinkle in Time" and "stranger from the Depths" both aimed at teens but quite good. Around 16 "zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance" Dorris Lessing wrote some great books

Pretty sure the tin is just to help get the low temperature eutectic of Galinstan. I am pretty sure mercury would work just as well, but children and grad students don't get to play with Mercury much any more.

I was right there with you. I only watched 20-30 minutes of the show, but made the authoritative pronouncement to my GF that citizenfour would not win, as the powers that be owned Hollywood. I am glad I was wrong in this case.

I too had this assignment. It is ironic, I put way to much effort and time into this project, and had something I was rather proud of. A large section of the class used hand me down code from previous classes and had a somewhat more polishe

This is a nice piece by a professional consultant. My bet is that his company ESI consultants gets a fair amount of business from those invested in charter schools.
