Impeach Obama Save NASA Sign @ 1 of busiest Intersections in Houston, CNN iReport
"I was driving by & saw this sign @ one of the busiest intersections in Houston! This photo was taken at the Intersection of Hwy 6 & 59. Kesha Rodgers is running for Congress, I guess & had this sign made up & I stopped to take a photo! She asked to Impeach Obama & Save NASA!"

"Therefore for me it is not a question of how do we handoff the responsibility of access to Low Earth Orbit to commercial space but how do we ensure that the commercial space community reaches a speed close to what NASA has obtained over the past 50 years so that NASA can push them off to continue the race? How do we set up the transition so that in the event that commercial space should fall, NASA can tag the fallen and temporarily continue the race? Yes I know, with the completion of the Shuttle program the push off is more of a challenge yet not impossible."
Folks,
This is the last Public Library presentation for my talk called "The Arctic Submarine Laboratory". It is at the East Greenbush Library on Sunday, February 28^th at 2:00 pm.
The synopsis of the talk is provided as follows:
The Arctic Submarine Laboratory pioneered sc
108 bricks. 4 wheels. 2 taillights. Questionable plastics that are sure to contain countless carcinogens. Yes, the BlockCar looks to be a fantastic toy.
While not an official Lego product, the BlockCar offers the same general idea. You carefully stack bricks onto a motorized platform, crafting the multicolored car of your deepest imagination. Admire it for a few moments. Then smash it at full speed against the wall to watch your work crumble. (Repeat as necessary.)
I really wish the BlockCar were an official, Lego-compatible add-on because a 4-wheel R/C platform (with taillights!) could make pretty much any Lego creation that much more menacing. Luckily, it's a pretty attainable one-off at $22. [Strapya World via technabob]
Karen Casey on learning to live and let live.
Dear All,
For my factory I had purchased 50 TR water chiller. Its in and out temperature will be maximum 5 degree centigrade. To cool the chiller will be need a cooling tower.
But I can not calculated which capacity of the Cooling tower to cool the condenser of the chiller.

I like knowing that I live in a world where someone can create a crazy-jawed pig pull toy only to have someone else say, "Yup, mechanical swine is exactly what my life has been missing."

NASA has released their first iPhone game. It's called the NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator and, instead of making me happierer than a kid in a candy store wearing a Batman cape, reading the description makes me sad:
Welcome to the NASA Lunar Electric Rover (LER) Simulator. You don't need a driver's license, but you still need to buckle up as the LER Simulator gives you a glimpse of what it might be like to support the activities of a functioning Lunar Outpost. Get busy. You never know if your skills here will become a major part of the NASA Astronaut application process in the future.
Sadly, and since there are not going to be any NASA mission to the moon, we know that these skills would be useless. Unless that, by "NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator" they really mean "Soyuz Spacecraft Push Some Russian Buttons Simulator."
In any case, go to the App Store and enjoy the free game, because the real thing is not going to happen. [iTunes via Krapps]
Hi,
I have an application that involves a C-pump and a pneumatically actuated valve. The whole idea behind the project is of as follows:
1) When the C-pump loses prime or when the pressure falls below a certain pressure (<80 psi), this action should actually trigger a pneuma
Heating and cooling rate shall be 220ºC/Hr Maximum" and the ranges of the temperature "675ºC to 690ºC ASME I" and "700ºC to 760ºC ASME B31.1"
For which reason, for the same material (P91, 9%Cr 1% Mo ) PWHT's temperatures change depending on the used code?
Where can I find a wiring diagram for a 1995 Chevy Blazer? The brake lights and four way lights do not work. My directionals work and all fuses and bulbs are good.
In designing compressor station, 1+1 configuration with one stage of compression as an example, considering common suction drum instead of separate drums for each train can be proposed as an idea. a benfit of this idea is lower design pressure of suction drum due to movement of shut down valve from

I've knitted a few scarves in my lifetime, and have a cupboard full of cables, so I'm thinking of whipping up a few winter-warmers like Japanese fashion designer Kosuke Tsumura. Though it doesn't look nearly as soft as merino wool...
He used anything from iPods to LAN cables, power boards and fabrics to create sculptures for his 'MODE less CODE' exhibition at the Nanzuka gallery in Shirokane, Tokyo. But can he do the Kitchener Stitch? [Japan Trends via Katiesol]

Looking like an English hedgehog with over 60,000 7.5m-long transparent acrylic rods shooting out of the building, the United Kingdom Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo is costing the equivalent of $38.6m to construct. [MSN]
It failed to materialize on the 15th, but now PreCentral's claiming the 25th will see the webOS 1.4 update come good. This is a firmware update worth writing in your diary about, bringing video recording and Flash 10.1 compatibility.
It'll also make the Pre and Pixi slightly faster, and have a few other minor changes not worth explaining. Here's hoping you've got something interesting to film come Thursday, even if it's just of an iPhone user struggling with their meager non-flash 3.0-megapixel camera. [PreCentral]
There's a million and one Twitter apps available for the iPhone, but do any let you do a poo on tweets you dislike? Surprisingly, yes—and here I was thinking teenage roughnecks couldn't afford an iPhone contract.
Bird Turd turns Twitter into a game, with the official bio of the app explaining
"In Bird Turd, YOU are the bird. And when you see a tweet you don‘t like, YOU CAN POOP RIGHT ON IT."
Anything that lets me express some rage against the "SEO gurus" who follow me wins my vote, and 99 cents is a lot cheaper than a therapy session. Sold! [Bird Turd on the App Store via Mobile-Ent]
