  8. A breaking newsbit I'm sorry, I haven't as yet had a chance to give it the read it deserves, least, if I remember, some here share my interest in like Science Daily?.. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111124150827.htm "... A new study suggests that the rate of global warming from doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide may be less than the most dire estimates of some previous studies -- and, in fact, may be less severe than projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report in 2007. Authors of the study, which was funded by the National Science Foundation's Paleoclimate Program and published online this week in the journal Science, say that global warming is real and that increases in atmospheric CO 2 will have multiple serious impacts. However, the most Draconian projections of temperature increases from the doubling of CO 2 are unlikely. "Many previous climate sensitivity studies have looked at the past only from 1850 through today, and not fully integrated paleoclimate date, especially on a global scale," said Andreas Schmittner, an Oregon State University researcher and lead author on the Science article. "When you reconstruct sea and land surface temperatures from the peak of the last Ice Age 21,000 years ago -- which is referred to as the Last Glacial Maximum -- and compare it with climate model simulations of that period, you get a much different picture..."

  9. Lol, waitaminute, I gotta catch up, what are they talking about--Units--?? --Feet?!lol Oh, meters?--hopefully never, pretty standard unit and easy to visualize.
  10. Is it me or does the mere phrasing of this question seem already to seat responsibility with the minor? Perhaps, it would be better put to the group, "Is an adult victimizing a minor in engaging in sexual acts with him or her?".. I'm sorry, could you please elaborate on/qualify your own remarks here?--Are you saying that since parents go unchecked in so many other ways, malnourishing, as example, why are they precluded from also handling their first sexual experience in such a hands-on manner?--Isn't this a duplicate of another thread currently in circulation?--And what was that about Jews???
  11. Lemme see if I can ever possibly catch up to this in a bit, sorry, after the holiday's settled.
  12. The sketchy-thing, actually is one of the things I like most about this forum. Yes, I'm a bit of a river person, canoed and/or kayaked most of my life now and the river certainly is deceiving, including flow/current. Not necessarily so, what's readily seen to the naked eye but that's a big part of the draw in its magnificence. You're right, this is very much also good reason to use caution, it's quite on the side of dangerous as it is beautiful. Like you're saying, there is all this to think of and then deeper yet is the issue of the soil, for example. It may appear solid where you see bottom but that's often, in actuality, a formiddable layer of muck and silt three or four feet thick where I come from. Very key point if you tip either a canoe or kayak. We have a lot of ecological law of the land here, not mentioning building code where I'm at, many river-specific enforced guidelines protecting both, I've wondered in the past why these are used so much as a template in other, disaster-plagued areas... Yeah, this 'river' flows faar beneath the Amazon, it was that and the fact it ran parallel that piqued my interest, so cool, beyond words, I was surprised it didn't get more coverage.
  13. Yeah, beats me why it hasn't come up more often.
  14. I know, I was super excited about this one, I'll be following it!!! Aquifer, what's that?lol. But if you mean to reference the depth--wasn't it said they thought it quite shallow by comparison?--then, sure, little less exciting but still!--Makes me wonder what else might be going on underneath our feet. I love news like this! Now that you mention it, I think somewhere in the collection of other bits of coverage they did suggest it may be an aquifer, rings a bell.
  15. Scuze me, I will do my best to try to tone it down, I really liked this forum.
  16. Actually I'd intended to quote Cuthber's education remark, oops.
  17. Wow, a cloud OS, you're kidding me...
  18. Maybe something topographical from the freeware here... http://softwaretopic.informer.com/free-contour-map-drawing-software/ ...though I don't know any of the others listed above but CAD programs are also desinged around layer use, like I think I read about Corel, so I'd bet the CorelCAD hybrid is about as good as it gets and there'r always free trials.
  19. You guys have all the old goodies in here.
  20. Ohh, I remember the three houses needa gas line braintease!--I swore it had a resolution and thought you couldn't cheat with curved lines?--Anyway, I thought it was presented to us in toothpicks. Lol, well that is a crappy sketching.
  21. Yeah, that was two thirds an indictment for a newbie asking for help in a homework setting and the 'crit' was no more credible then than the write up. Seems mr. Rocket's lost sight of the basic precept in his own signature. But a genuine effort between what both you and Imatfaal have left here, nice...
  22. Shew, this's the first one that so struck me difficult to help on without being too suggestive, actually doing the work for the op, however you manage skirting it, *kudos.*
  23. Heh, you really have to hand it to some of you who ever manage to toe the line between helping and doing the work for them.
  24. http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/1757-underground-river-discovered-beneath-amazon.html This report seems to be about the most responsible, since many others love to jump to 'hundreds of times wider,' when it seems even the 'discoverer' didn't want to rush to conclusions until a projected 2014 date. But it was all over the news and cool so I thought I'd bring it in.
