Funny book, the researcher lands and starts melting rocks with his Laser.. Hilarity ensues..
I hope the Martians can get their tentacles around the concept of research VS invasion.
.. everyone knows Lance is the better HaKrz.
But on a serious note; why can the cycling world and especially the French accept the fact that riders from all over the world; not just the French are top level athletes.
Lance is the man; and I am afraid the French can't stand the FACT he is an exceptional athlete. Sad they have to take it out on the entire USA team.
No French Fries today; thank you. I'll have Sauerkraut.
This technology only makes sense in a cold environment; Like the moon or the asteroid belt. Now; time to find Bauxite on the moon or asteroids.

I told you I’d come back. Remember Buchanan?
But you’re not Buchanan!
I don’t look like him but I am him. Don’t you recognize my voice, Jim?
I promised to see you die and I will.

Today’s big story centers around the killing of District Attorney
McGraw, whose body was found in his garage, murdered.
Doctor Steiger is under the impression that these crimes are being
perpetrated by dead men charged with atom brains, which gives
them super-human strength and makes them impervious to bullets.

27 weeks? No problem.
A couple of weeks for basic electronic measurement.
A session on "Aggregating existing technology into a new format" Give examples, and let the students brainstorm.
One suggestion is building a Jambox for their MP3 players.
1. Used 12V UPS battery, Obtain locally from a IT shop as they "Clean house"
2. A mid sized plastic tool or tackle box with a removable internal shelf. If the students are advanced enough, get many different sizes and let their creativity go.
3. A pair of speakers, look at Partsexpress.com for very low cost, or hit up the local car stereo shops and ask for donations.
3. A low cost car amplifier, This will be the most expensive item, and may prove difficult to locate them in a large number on the cheap. (But I did..) An alternative is the PWB from a set of computer speakers. You can also harvest the speakers
4. A switch to power on \ off the amp.
5. 1\8 phono to RCA cable.
6. If the MP3 player the students provide use a replaceable battery (A very good idea) include a 12v to 1.5v LM317 reg and 2 resistors and a cap for noise. Fabricate a dummy "Battery" and provide the power to the MP3 player VIA the LM317.
7. If the MP3 player is USB, a LM78M05 12 to 5v, and a scrap USB cable obtained from the local electronics "treasure bin" (Mind the alley. This would power the MP3 player.
Assemble. Stand back and be amazed.
I can assure you, every child that builds one of these will be the envy of their peers, AND these boxes will not be discarded.
Once excited, and engaged your class will not fail. You may spark the development of an engineer or two.
Walked in to Radio Shack for a few TOSLINK cables. (Stop me if you've heard this before.. )
Salesdrone spots me, swoops in. He's probably all of 17.. Say he: What can I help with. Just a TOSLINK cable, please, Say I. Oh we have a nice Monster cable here.. replies the Salesdrone. I see the price, close to 50.00. Says I: Why so expensive, it's just a TOSLINK cable. Drone replies: Well, it has best in class insulation AND gold plated connectors.. Says I:. it's just a TOSLINK cable. Sales drove just states at me. Says I: A TOSLINK cable.. Drone still just staring, and apparently does not know a TOSLINK for a LM317 VReg.. Oh. Bad example..
Says I: So; tell me; what are you insulating the signal from? Salesdrone replies: Well, electromagnetic interference!. Electromagnetic interference? In a TOSLINK cable? says I... Yes, replies sales drone. So; I string him along for a couple of minutes, and actually have him pull one of the sample cables from his demo system so we can look at it. I ask him to look carefully at the business ends of the cable and point out the "Gold plated connectors" he described to me.. Learning occurred.
I walked out with a few 1.99 generic TOSLINK cables.. Kids these days..
H. Ross SR wrote a blank check to the state of Texas to save a oak tree poisoned by not too stable individual. He did not have to do this, but he choose to quickly assist to save a symbol of trust when it would be obvious to anyone that normal bureaucracy would not act in time. See a problem, react quickly to resolve it.
This oak, the Treaty Oak was regarded by the native Commanches and Tonkowas as a "Tree God".
Early settlers and Indians signed treaty's under it's branches.

Did anyone see a similarity to Larry Niven's "Protector"?
As for the movie; I saw it Friday. OK movie. A interesting portrayal or tip of the brim to the Boer. It could have been made less gory for a better human \ Alien relations story. Three years;)
Today's high capacity drives "tune" them selves in relation to the platter, heads and drive electronics. Years ago you could swap PCB and get your data back 100%. Not today. I know, we do this sort of stuff all day long..

They invented the Laser printer. I have a 4505 that is dependable. Just watch ebay for drums and toner and stock up.

Isn't that how Bush and Obama got to be Presidents?
Your not just whistling Dixie, there..
From the website: Common Propulsion Module STATIC Engine Test Rocket engine ignition is hypergolic. I wonder what fuels they use?

What is required to power the VASMIR engine? Simple fuel Cell or we talkin nukes here?
