GravatarRepost for Gimlet:

How can light be refracted or "bent" by a prism when it has no mass?

Light is made of photons, which have characteristics of both particles and waves.

Please await Dr Derbes for further enlightenment. (I got out of my quantum mechanics class with a B- and my life).


GravatarI am grateful that being able to accuse me of antisemitism for not supporting Rapture militarism has stopped right-wingers from yelling at me about "the Jew York Times".

The families went for minimal monetary damages... they didn't want the students to suffer for the sins of the board.

However, during this whole process the board's insurer decided to sue them.

Hilarity.

The plagarism was public. Why shouldn't the take-down be? This isn't some low-level clerk; this guy was the adviser to the president. If he can't stand the heat, he shouldn't get into the kitchen.

GravatarAre you an aunt?


Not yet, Hecate.

Last we heard was at 7:30 AM - she was dilated to 9 cm, and her water broke.

She went into the hospital for the third time around 3:30 AM, and was given an epidural. Dilated to 4 around that time.

I'm waiting for Nim to call, basically.

He asked me to post, so I got up in the middle of the night to provide details, and I've been trying to keep up with it by the minute, at least as much as I know.


GravatarHas Mukasy decided whether Roger Clemens has committed a crime and should be prosecuted?


GravatarI LIKE BREASTS!


GravatarThe muslims hate America only because what the lowlife liberals are exporting here and abroad. They hate the abominations I mentioned above.

Another rightwinger joins the Terrorists in their cause.


GravatarSo I guess Tim is really a stand-up guy, in the GOP way. After committing crimes for 7 years, he agrees that he should stop & be instantly forgiven?


GravatarHopefully they're savoring the golden moment, welcoming their babe. We can wait for the happy news.


GravatarNot only did he plagiarize, he plagiarized something stupid:

There have been many ways of answering the question: What is Europe? A handy way to think of the matter is the paradigm of “Athens” and “Jerusalem.” In this paradigm, those terms designate both the two cities we have all heard of but also two kinds of mind. The tradition designated “Athens” is associated with philosophy and with critical exercise of mind, with reason. The tradition associated with “Jerusalem” is associated with monotheism, with faith.

Ya know, Islamic culture owes just as much to Athens and Jerusalem as do those peoples up and over the other side of the Alps...


GravatarHe asked me to post, so I got up in the middle of the night to provide details, and I've been trying to keep up with it by the minute, at least as much as I know.

Golly...ain't that just like a man?

(seriously, I hope that you wished them health and happiness from all of us)


GravatarNo baby yet?

It's too warm and comfy in there.


GravatarOut of 38 columns, the paper identified 20 as containing plagarized passages.

I'd bitch about the referreeing, too...


GravatarThe plagarism was public.

And it also wasn't an isolated incident, but something he had done over and over again.

Everyone see how Kenosha Kid's discover of his stealing from Jonathan Yardley was referenced in the NYT article about Goeglein?


GravatarThen the speed of light is not a constant (E=MC^2)?

No, it's a speed limit, not an "always runs at full tilt" thing.


GravatarI might add, knowing Jen as well as I do, I can just imagine that this labor is going on far too long for our little princess baby. She's the youngest in the family, was always coddled by her six older siblings, and she's probably not accustomed to the slowness with which this event is proceeding.


GravatarAnd, of course, it always comes down to: "and, you're ugly" when there's a woman involved. Muslims really hate liberals, but they don't understand that. It's amazing how much hatred and stupidity are mixed together into a lethal combination in the rightwing's brain.


GravatarThen the speed of light is not a constant (E=MC^2)?

That's the speed of light in a vacuum. Actual results may vary.


GravatarFrom the "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" files...

John McCain comes out as an anti-vaxxer

"At a town hall meeting Friday in Texas, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., declared that "there’s strong evidence" that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that was once in many childhood vaccines, is responsible for the increased diagnoses of autism in the U.S. -- a position in stark contrast with the view of the medical establishment."

GravatarA WP article on Goeglein from just after the 2004 election...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp...- 2004Dec23.html

Officially, Goeglein, a 40-year-old who looks as if he would be carded trying to buy a beer, is deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison, one of four White House political departments run by uberstrategist Karl Rove. Yet Goeglein's role is much more central to how this president operates -- and wins elections -- than the job title suggests, according to several Republicans outside and inside the White House.

It is Goeglein's job to make sure conservatives are happy, in the loop and getting their best ideas before the president and turned into laws. With Goeglein's assistance, Christian conservatives, for instance, were successful in lobbying Bush to push for abstinence-first funding to combat AIDs and speak out against the persecution of Christians in Sudan, according to Charles W. Colson, an evangelical Christian who works closely with Bush and Goeglein...

He assumed he was headed to the White House press shop after the election. But, he said, Rove phoned with an unexpected message: "I am calling to change your life." A few minutes later, Goeglein was Rove's right-hand man dealing with the political right. Goeglein plans to assume the same role in the second term. "I love people. I love policy, and I love politics."

GravatarWashington, DC (HNN) – On Friday, Feb. 29, 2008, Senator Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, released the following statement:

“Today, I’m proud to lend my support and strong endorsement to Barack Obama and his candidacy for President of the United States.

“Barack Obama is the most qualified person – Democrat or Republican – to lead our country in the face of enormous challenges – the very real threat of terrorism, economic uncertainty, and instability at home and abroad.

“Barack is committed to changing lives – and changing the landscape of West Virginia and America . He genuinely cares about people, and he will fight for all the things I have fought for my entire public career – health care for all, good-paying jobs, a strong manufacturing base, protecting senior’s retirement, and fighting terrorism.

“As Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am all too aware that the threats we face are unconventional. They are sophisticated. They are constantly changing and adapting. And they are very serious. more.....

GravatarThe most hilarious part of this whole situation is that the Bush White House was paying this twit $125K a year to plagiarize.

Think he'll fall upwards to the Heritage Foundation?

Does Rev. Hagee need a new "Special Assistant for Snake-Handling and Rapture Preparation?"


GravatarThis guy wasn't really so much a plagerizer as a xerox machine. He is a thief. If you see someone steal a car, do you call the police or sit down for a quiet chat.

GravatarOnce the water breaks, they don't let you go too long.

But sometimes pushing takes a while.


GravatarAhhh, Nim's... what? Between this and several family members of friends, I've completely lost track of who's about to improve the gene pool.


GravatarTim, a husband and father of two, is now jobless.


You know, there are thousands of husbands and fathers of two who are now jobless, thanks to the policies advocated by this plagarising asshat, and they didn't steal other people's work. So I'm sorry that I don't feel too worked up. I guess he could have gotten extra unemployment, but the Republicans squashed that.

GravatarMoe, Moe, Moe!

In the midnight hour, with a rebel yell...


Gravatarer, how does water "break"?


Well, um, technically, it's not the water that breaks.


GravatarHere's an interesting phenomena...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_light
Slow light is the literal slowing of the speed of light. It is the propagation of an optical pulse or other modulation of an optical carrier at a very low group velocity. The term is usually only applied when the velocity is at least hundreds of times slower than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Researchers at the Rowland Institute for Science slowed light to 38 miles per hour in 1999,[1] and researchers at UC Berkeley slowed the speed of light traveling through a semiconductor to 6 miles per second in 2004. This was in an effort to develop computers that will use only a fraction of the energy of today's machines.[2]

In 2005, IBM created a microchip that can slow down light, claiming that its light-slowing device is the first to be fashioned out of fairly standard materials, potentially paving the way toward commercial adoption.[3]

It's a bag. The bag breaks; the water comes out.

Gravatarer, how does water "break"?

I'm no scientist, but...it makes sense to me that as the baby is ready to come out, it causes pressure in the amniotic sac, which "breaks."

Poor Jen, she's really been in slow labor since 5:30 AM yesterday. When I had Audrey, my pain was from 3:30 PM - 9:30 PM...that was it.


GravatarBut no matter what, it's always these rich, powerful, white, xian men who are the victims. Always.
