A group of MIT students are now vaporizing wood and can potentially melt steel using just the sun. Their goal is cheap and efficient solar power.Their solar concentrator, a 12-foot by 12-foot mirror( 3.65 m by 3.65 m), is made of off-the-shelve metal frames fitted with bent mirrors that concentrates the sun's light on a single spot.These students started a new company, RawSolar, to sell their desi

When I was a kid, I remember looking up at the moon and the stars at night.  I’d think to myself and wonder what was out there.  Were there other people on other planets, just like us, living their normal day to day lives, oblivious to other beings in the universe?  I also thought it [...]

Ed Lewis (aka Fungus Amungus) has posted a great do-it-yourself project that combines one of my favorite art forms with another of my favorite art forms. He took the hip, urban chic of vinyl toys and gave them the gift of music by fusing speakers into the faces of these “Munnny” vinyl toys from Kid Robot. The end result is a design mash-up of sorts, but comes off as a unique way to share your

By Volker Mrasek Spiegel Online International - April 17, 2008 Original URL Researchers have found alarming evidence that the frozen Arctic floor has started to thaw and release long-stored methane gas. The results could be a catastrophic warming of the earth, since methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. But can the methane also be used as fuel? The Lena River flowing through Russian Siberia and empties into the Arctic Ocean. This satellite image shows the river delta, where methane concentrations are unexpectedly high (AFP) It's always been a disturbing what-if scenario for climate researchers: Gas hydrates stored in the Arctic ocean floor -- hard clumps of ice and methane, conserved by freezing temperatures and high pressure -- could grow unstable a

The Wilkins Ice Shelf is breaking up and data suggests that Antarctic warming is causing the disintegration of what was once permanent floating ice. From the National Snow and Ice Data Center:The Wilkins Ice Shelf is a broad plate of permanent floating ice on the southwest Antarctic Peninsula, about 1,000 miles south of South America. In the past 50 years, the western Antarctic Peninsula has experienced the biggest temperature increase on Earth, rising by 0.5 degree Celsius (0.9 degree Fahrenheit) per decade. NSIDC Lead Scientist Ted Scambos, who first spotted the disintegration in March, said, "We believe the Wilkins has been in place for at least a few hundred years. But warm air and exposure to ocean waves are causing a break-up."Satellite images indicate that the Wilkins began its col

Everyone I've talked to agrees that Easter is too early this year. Not that we can help it. St. Patrick's Day and Easter in the same week is wrong. The presence of two parades of that magnitude in New York City in the same week is wrong.With the winter chill still lingering, wool coat collars turned up against the wind, I'm not feeling appropriately pastel. I'm willing, nevertheless, to make the best of the situation at hand. In that spirit, I decided that nothing would be better this afternoon than a winter cup of hot chocolate with a couple of melting yellow Peeps.It's prettier and tastier than I imagined, and the Peeps looked sweet during their final sleep of drowning chocolate death.Edible Easter Creations in the CityIn strolling about the city, I've taken note of some of the fine East

George Bush’s “science advisers” have continually insisted global warming is simply another liberal effort to frighten people into foolish actions such as placing restrictions on the right of business to pollute the world. A new United Nations study has found that glaciers around the globe are shrinking faster than ever before. The consequences of such [...]

Scientists measuring the health of almost 30 glaciers around the world found that ice loss reached record levels in 2006, the U.N. agency said. UNEP warned that further ice loss could have dramatic consequences particularly in India, whose rivers are fed by Himalayan glaciers. The west coast of North America, which gets much of its water from glaciers in mountain ranges such as the Rockies and Sierra Nevada, also would be affected, it said. "There are many canaries emerging in the climate change coal mine," UNEP's executive director Achim Steiner said in a statement. "The glaciers are perhaps among those making the most noise and it is absolutely essential that everyone sits up and takes notice."source:- CNNfull article

The recipe is pretty straight forward for a novice baker like me. I should be able to handle it was what I thought when I first saw the recipe. *laughs* Plus I'm always curious what they meant by 'melting moments'. *stick out tongue* Sooo... it very crumbly till it feels like it as melted in your mouth!Only thing I do not like about this recipe is it not sweet enough (for me). The next time I do this, I'm going to make it even much smaller so I could get more Nutella. Either that or I'll add more icing sugar to it. Yeah, I got a sweet tooth.Ingredients:125g Butter, chopped2 tablespoon Icing Sugar110g Plain Flour2 tablespoon Corn Flour2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder85g NutellaHow to do it:Preheat oven to 170C.Beat butter and sugar till light and fluffy.Stir in dry ingredients in two batches.Spoo

n an article published Sunday on the Web site of the journal Nature Geoscience, Hugh Corr and David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey report the identification of a layer of volcanic ash and glass shards frozen within an ice sheet in western Antarctica. This is the first time we have seen a volcano beneath the ice sheet punch a hole through the ice sheet in Antarctica, Vaughan said. Volcanic heat could still be melting ice to water and contributing to thinning and speeding up of the Pine Island glacier, which passes nearby, but Vaughan said he doubted that it could be affecting other glaciers in western Antarctica, which have also thinned in recent years. Most glaciologists, including Vaughan, say that warmer ocean water is the primary cause of thinning.Antarctic volcanoes identi

It was short and sweet trip to the Canadian Rocky Mountains back in July 2006. We planned two day trip to Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada - yes very short, just drive through. Driving along we visited fascinating site Athabasca Glaciers, Columbia Icefields, Alberta, Canada. The view was spectacular, and then once there we have decided to see glacier fields by taking this bus designed to drive on the rocks and snow and up the hills. It felt scary at times, however, the vehicle did handle well on the rough surface. Once we got there, whoever, sold us tickets told us it will be only about 5 degrees C colder, well, well and well, when we got to the fields, including the wind shield factor, it was more like 25 degrees C colder, probably below zero degrees. It was cold. However, we should h

Well...after last night's fiasco I've been a bit...exhausted. BUT, the girls found a way to make me melt. They asked for milk, so I gave them some and got back to cleaning up my pit of a kitchen. I heard giggling after a few minutes and found them like this: I grabbed my camera phone (reason for the bad quality) because if I got out the regular camera I would have lost the moment. I managed to catch a brief video too. Basically, Molly was snuggling and talking to her sister...and anytime K took the bottle out of her mouth, Molly would point to her and say "eat".It is seriously the cutest thing I've seen them do yet. I LOVE how close they're getting!! (There are also times I'm not so thrilled with it :P)

One of the most prolific bands in recent time, the Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. have returned with another full-length. ‘Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under The Stars’ consists of three tracks, the longest clocking in at over forty minutes, and finds the band changing their sound and focus just a bit. For starters, one can actually hear the separate instruments, rather than everything descending into a slop of noise and psychedelic effects. The effects are still there, no doubt - there’s a bunch of delay, pitch shifting and vintage spring reverb - but listeners can finally hear what it all is, where it all fits in and where it all needs to go. The opening track has hints of Black Sabbath. believe it or not, before the band finally hit their stride on the final forty minute epic “Electric Psilocybin Flashback”. This is heady, chest beating psychedelic rock from one of the finest and most prominent bands in the genre. For fans of the simila

What if Noah didn't really build an ark, but something else was done to protect the species of earth? What if our technology was advanced back then, and global warming melted all the polar ice caps? Disasters happened worldwide, and the survivors couldn't effectively preserve their civilization. Then their children tried to teach the story to the later generations, but because they didn't understand parts, they reworked and reworded them so as to be easier to grasp.Maybe Noah was an artificially intelligent space station (N.O.A.H.) that transported animals from one location to another. Then the inheritors of "flood world" figured that Noah was really a man, who made such a device. Eventually the space station was confused and became a wooden ship. Or maybe something entirely different had happened, but the story devolved in a similar manner.Is there advanced technology hidden deep underground? Has the government found any of it? Are there survivors of a pre-history society t

It has been found out that diet explains why some people tend to suffer more from acne, while others don’t. reducing the amount of fat in one’s diet helps reduce acne as research has proven that less fat in the body leads to a better chance of getting blemish free and glowing skin. And it is because of this that it is considered to be effective in using fat melting laser to help treat acne. The same fat melting laser treatment used for treating heart problems and cellulite reduction is used for treating acne. It is the Free Electron Laser, which is used at specific wavelengths that is considered safe to use on the skin to burn fat excreted by your body. It is because the cause of acne is the lipid-rich sebaceous glands, found a few millimeters under the skin that fat melting laser can treat acne. This is a beneficial option in treating acne as it not only attacks the skin problems the patient is suffering from, but also treats other health conditions like the build up of fat in

Which is why this year for Halloween, I'm going as something truly horrifying: a melting polar ice cap.

But since they're all, except for McCain, armchair warriors, they're only comfortable protecting us from fears they made up. Like the way Iran is itching for a war with th

Film circles in Hyderabad is abuzz with a sensational rumour that a sharp difference of opinion has cropped up between Megastar Chiranjeevi and his beloved brother ‘Power Star’ Pawan Kalyan in the aftermath of Sreeja's elopement and marriage with her boyfriend on October 18 th morning.As per the rumors, it has come to the notice of Pawan Kalyan that his brother Chiranjeevi knew about the love affair between Sreeja and Sireesh Bharadwaj even a year ago, but had kept it under wraps. As such, even though Pawan Kalyan had the knowledge of Sreeja's affair through his own sources four months ago; he kept silent as if he didn't know it at all. This communication gap between the brothers is said to have caused all the differences.Another contention is that Pawan Kalyan has not bothered to enter into the post-Sreeja marriage fiasco. He kept aloof from the episode. Sources further hint that a day before Pawan Kalyan chose to deposit his revolver with the police; Chiranjeevi had called him

I was in Redwood City for a two-day offsite meeting at the Sofitel. In addition to those who work in the Bay Area, we had people from Southern California, Virginia, Florida and Canada. In the evening we drove down together to a newly opened fondue restaurant called The Melting Pot in San Mateo. It is part of a national chain, but I have never come across one before.Dinner turned out to a very interesting experience indeed. For one, the restaurant is located right next to the train station and the rumble of the trains speeding past makes for an unusual setting. Second, the concept of sharing fondue and cooking entrees at the table is a lot fun and different from the usual dinner experience.Dinner began with Cheese Fondue. The one in front of me was a Spinach Artichoke fondue that was prepared at the table over electric heaters built into the table itself. We dipped fresh breads, green apples, and veggies into the creamy fondue. I actually enjoyed this fondue much more than the one I had

According to CNN: “The fear is that melting ice from Greenland and other Arctic areas could cause sea levels to rise enough to flood low-lying cities, such as Shanghai, China, and New York City, displacing millions of people in the process.” Additionally, Dr. Konrad Steffen, climate scientist at the University of Colorado in Boulder: “estimates sea levels could rise three feet over the next century.” The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: “estimates the sea level rise by 2100 could be as much as 1½ feet.” 3 millimeters a year is 0.984251 inches over 100 years Quotes and Questions: “global sea levels have been rising at the rate of three millimeters per year since 1993.” What were global sea levels doing before that? Could you go way back too? “Greenland is losing 100 billion tons of ice each year, more than it is gaining from snowfall in the interior.” How much snowfall is there in the interior? Does the

Well apparently not all collies melt in the rain. Our collies.. well, our older collies, have tried to convince me for years and years that when it’s raining, they surely will melt and cannot go outside. Tatum and Bianca have now blown this theory out of the water. Especially Tatum. They will both go out in the rain and play, chew bones, or run around. And so me and my regular dogs stand inside at the door watching them. My collies look at me and still try to convince me that no, if they go our in the rain, surely they will melt. Even if they had a real estate franchise still they would try to tell me they would melt. Alas… now I know it is not true!

"While a number of natural factors have certainly contributed to the overall decline in sea ice, the effects of greenhouse warming are now coming through loud and clear," Serreze said. "The implications for global climate, as well as Arctic animals and people, are disturbing."This graph says it all or, at least since records have been kept 1979 to present, look at the steep decline in 2007.More and more Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the effect we have on our environment and adopting this kind of attitude will certainly help our grand-children in the future the Science Daily conducted a poll on relevance to our environment and a growing number think that global warming is an important threat that calls for drastic change. 40% consider a presidential candidate's position on global warming as a major relevance and 62% believe that life will continue as we know it only if we act to curb global warming, after reading a few article's out there it seems that most Americans ar

Last year we had several neighbourhood shops nominated for TW2B award, and the other week I went to visit one, Al Amin in Mill Road to see what it was like. I was immediately struck by the extraordinary range of food on sale, and the friendly welcoming staff who managed to help customers without being 'pushy'. You certainly don't have to be disabled to enjoy shopping at Al Amin, but I could easily see why they were nominated last year by a regular customer whose shopping they carried home free of charge after an operation made things difficult, and at other times she reported "they make a point of putting my shopping in two evenly balanced bags so that I carry it easily".It's this sort of practical help that we want to encourage! The Cambridge Way To Be awards are all about removing obstacles in the way of disabled people.

The subways and city in general were a giant mess in NYC today thanks to underground flooding and, I swear, a tornado. The result was that I walked to school through the sweatiest weather I’ve endured in a while and lost about 40 lbs. on the walk to school. So now I weigh 10 lbs. Being that it was rush hour, it had the added effect of a weird reversal on the wet t-shirt contest. Suddenly all these guy in shirts and ties were soaked through, holding their shirts away from their bodies. And instead of beer and water being sprayed everywhere, it was hatred. I learned some new swear words. Elizabeth Edwards says she can’t make her husband, John, black or a woman. First of all, that’s not true. (more…)

Contrary to common belief, melting glaciers due to global warming contribute more to the rising sea level than the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, researchers said Thursday in a study. Scientists found that the ebb and flow of glaciers where they meet the water causes them to speed up and deliver more ice into the world's oceans than previously estimated, said the study published in Science's latest issue.

I melt in the subway, on the streets, in my sleep, before work, after work. This evening I tried in vain to reach behind me on a crowded uptown no. 1 train to wipe, through my shirt, the bead of sweat running down the hollow of my spine. And now I sit in my apartment with chronic forehead perspiration and my box fan placed strategically on the floor to circulate warm air in my direction while the backs of my legs lightly dampen the microsuede of the couch. Even the inside of my pantry is warm. I had to put my protein bars in the refrigerator.Why I'll splurge on a new outfit at H&M or cocktail hour at the bar - yet I haven't bought an air conditioner, I'm not quite sure I know. Maybe because my window won't accommodate a window unit or wall slide-in. And according to every PC Richards in this city, I have to purchase the $399 in-sleeve A/C and pay an additional $80 to have it delivered and installed in the sleeve under my window. It just pains me to spend that kind of money when a w

Ok, maybe just the snow melted. :) It was mostly gone by Sunday. Totally gone yesterday. It hit 76 here! YAY!!!!Hope everyone had a nice weekend.The Hubster spent most of Sat on the phone, computer or both doing some work stuff. Thankfully that doesn't happen too often.Sunday we worked on cleaning up the yard and hung out outside. I pulled up some scary looking dandelions that were sprouting already (just leaves).Monday I did my shopping and we planned a picnic at the park for supper. That was really nice. the girls played and we ate and then took a little hike along the bike trail.Today I ran errands and brought some stuff to OUAC (where I ran into a friend and her two girls, that was a nice surprise!!). Picked Johanna up at school and then dropped what they didn't take off at a local shelter type place and then we ran through the DQ drive-by for lunch. They have a pretty good (and reasonably priced) kids meal there.I had to order a new battery for the Roomba. That arrived today. Th

*Thanks to Robert @ the Chocolate Guild & Chocolatier Noël TemperingTempering is a crucial step in creating any types of truffles, bon bons, pralines, or any type of chocolates. Tempering is the process of developing "Beta" crystals in chocolate. Below you will find the temperatures to properly temper chocolate. Below that, the process will be described and a little knowledge about the 6 crystals in chocolate will be reviewed. Also, the supplies needed will be listed. Items Needed:1) Medium to Large Pot2) Stainless steal bowl3) Spatula4) Precise Thermometer5) Chocolate already in temper (any chocolate you buy will already be in temper)Process:1) Fill Pot 1/4-1/2 full with water2) Heat water to a boil, Then turn off heat 3) Have chocolate chopped up in stainless steal bowl and then place on pot(The idea is the melt the chocolate through the subtle heat of the water). We do not want the bowl touching the water in pot. If it does, remove some water or use a smaller pot or bigger bowl. T

Just one moment alone, one gentle kiss, the slow rubbing of my hands down your sexy body.I look into your eyes & I lose myself, I want to feel all of you. Your warm breath upon my neck, the soft touch of your smooth skin against mine. Wrap your strong arms around me, say you love me just one time.

I seem to be having a dry spell when it comes to writing stuff for you to read. I have a few ideas, but nothing of substance at this point. So heres a quick update on whats been happening in our neck of the woods. Zoe's new school held some celebrations today for it's 90th birthday. Nothing too major seeing as how they held a huge 75th apparently. It was really good to see so many past students come along, gives me more confidence in the school. Her teacher had a little chat with me this morning while I was doing the readers. Seems she has had a chat to the appropriate teacher about getting some extension work for Zoe with her literacy. It was good to hear, I was about a week off having a chat with her about Zoe's reluctance to go to school 1 in 3 mornings because it's boring. She is still being a pain in the butt. Zoe I mean, not

I just had to post this picture, based purely on 'lust'. ....I think I have just found someone equally as sexy as my 2 favourite males. (Mark Dalton & Brett Hendrichsen)I did have his name but someone lost it amongst all the hot sweats & well never mind. Oh my! UPDATE: Chris Rockway...Thankyou to Matt for his knowledge of the gay film industry.

This glitch is somewhat pointless, but I just wanted to share it with you guys anyway! If you go down into the Pool, and throw snowballs at the window, the snowballs won't stick, they'll disappear! You can kinda say they're 'melting'. I've also added several cheats to the Cheats/Glitches Pages so take ...
