This story caught my eys, I am Keratoconic in both eyes, a degeneration ot the cornea(s). Rigid contact lens can correct vision however there is no cure and further loss of vision can lead to a surgical treatment, cornea transplants. Then what is interesting even the replaced corneas can go keratoconic. I was in a years long study and they may find out more, it seems to be a mechanical degeneration, no virus or anything that can be mapped, equal effecting men/women, all ages. One small cluster of happening to 5% with downs syndrom.
I am fortunate I wear hard contacts with bi-focal glasses and have rather good vision 20/25, I can tell I need a check up though, the contact lenses start to slip more.
This sounds like a possible for Keratoconus, it is not too rare 1 in 19,000 people have it. However I tend to think they would of used a Keratoconic patient if they felt confident, perhaps there will be an attempt with further study.
Pretty simple here, may or may not work however do not loose the oppourtunity. Tie on the line or wire you want in your walls (to the copper lines) and use the copper lines to pull them through (the walls). Then sell the copper.
When I get to forgetting I do not give up, at least not easily, pause then try to remember again, let it idle, then again. I have good results expecially with names, even if the person has walked a block away I remember their name and at least do not feel old and helpless.
As far as remembering the launch code with ten seconds to spare, I have not arrived to this point, to forget this and try to remember, yet.
Does any one remember doonsbury from the late 70's early 80's where three protest groups are walking to an intersection bump and mix with each other and reform into one group chanting "nuke the gay iranian whales" ? Very funny sort of fits here I believe.
have used a parachute recovery back up for longer than cirrus.
An add-on kit with a compressed gas charge to clear the parachute from airframe has been used for years and saved over a 1000 people from serious injury or death.
I agree, the MIR was remarkable, very "movie" worthy.
I did a paper for english class and we could choose our subject. I chose the MIR and short read several articles, especially about the fire on board, apparently it was a wee bit more serious than the public was led on to believe.
When the 02 canister went there was a very few moments to react. The cosmonaunt-commander (sorry forget the name) was one of the sharpest in the the space biz and made some amazing command decisions in a very short time.
Same with the collision with the supply capsule, too bad the cosmonaunts were hammered when they returned.
the MIR will be a reference for space survival for years to come, and lets not forget Apollo 13
I have Keratoconus in both eyes, degenerative corneas. What led me to have my eyes check was starburst with any light at night and a double or stream effect in daylight, like a comet tail.
And I couldn't see worth a damn with the strongest lens. It was only one eye at first so I favored the other and the bad one wandered, it took a while to bring them back into sync.
The treatment is hard, gas permeable contact lenes,to bring back the true hemisphere of the cornea, when I pop them in I go from 20/100 (a guess but bad) to 20/25-20/20 in a flash. I have had tried several over 17 years and the best ones are ROSE-K (for me anyway).
I still have problems, near-farsighted, stig, and a prisim to correct one eye being lower from a blow out (smashed face) corrective surgery.
They eleminate the star burst completly.
You may want to have yourself fitted with some,even with out a scyrpt, perhaps use them only when you stargaze.
There is no cure for Keratoconus, I wear the hard lenses with bifocals, and the next step is piggyback with a soft lens then the hard lens on top, then cornea transplants.
I would like to agree with an earlier post about the eyecharts, they are only for a perfect world,I am 20/25-20/20 by the charts but I could not see my brothers face from across the street, unless he waved or yelled, but then I drive rather well, I do not have to know who they are, just not hit them.
Much like a weather person saying there is a 60% chance of rain, thus being neither wrong or right your correct use of "would seem" makes you neither wrong or right, just your opinion.
The poster you are remarking on is as correct as a study of a thousand people in a controlled study and their opinion. especially if it was/is a blind study.
I do not think it is funny and I support (common sense rules) what a person believes or a group, to what their opinion is.
The same results arrive when it comes to an opinion,one or a thousand involved, it is their's.
when I got out of highschool, I ran the salt pots, molten salt in vats in which metal parts were soaked until they reached a certain temperature, then quenched in water.
This hardened them, another process, soaking pits, kept at 600 F for about 3 days gave the parts temper.
When I think about it what else is molten at 1300F, cheap, easy to melt, in which another metal object can soak in and not combine with.
This was in spring of "73", we used powdered carbon to sprinkle on top to retain the heat, the electrodes(to procuce heat) were about 4-5 inches in diameter.
ANY moisture of any kind water, oil, grease, would cause pops and crackels when in contact with the molten salt. Hard to avoid and I burned a longsleeve shirt to short sleeve in about a month, did had long sleeve asbestos gloves but I did not use them, they were clumsy and only the gloves did not burn, everythng else did.

Methane on Mars?
·
· Score: -1, Troll
When NASA abandoned the missions to the moon and the american "SST" was canceled the loss of jobs for personal in the areospace and flight engineering was close to 250,000.
I feel this has crippled NASA to this day.Most of them went into the private sector and military research. Great for making money and robot bombs but if we had taken the "SST" folks and combined them with the NASA personal at the time, a few tens 0f billions of dollars we would have a city on the moon and stations on mars with trillions of dollars in cash flow and profit.
I am one of the 19 inch black and white televisions in the classroom watching the apollo liftoff's generation.
As a airplane's cycles increase (takeoff+landing)there are maintenance requirements. As engines aquire hours of opperation maintenance is required.
However there are "time" maintenance requirements. This means your jet can stand idle in your hanger for lets say a couple of years (est.) and it is time for manditory landing gear rebuild, avionics can be in the 6 month time range.
You may save fuel by not flying it much but the cost to keep it flyworthy is "almost" as eexpensive if it is in the air or not.
Keeping it flyworthy (for flight at any time) is the key word here.
I worked on a SAAB 380 twin turboprop, 2.5-3 mil used (I cleaned the interior, carpet, leather seats, glass. A great job, ANY airplane is totally cool) a 19 seater (20 seats and you need a steward-stewardess-FAA) and the landing gear rebuild was about $300,00.00.
My guess for a F-18 yearly maintenance would be easily 100 million pennys a year, plus fuel and ground support when flying.
And if I remember correctly the F-18 does not have a long range especially supersonic probably an hour or so if flying slow.
a jet plane to get is a Chek trainer or a mig-17, all airplanes rock:)
They have a warehouse that sells what ever is considered old , obsoleat and there is quite a bit of stuff. Lots of computers,tables desks and even a dentist chair. there are boxes and boxes of stuff. Not dirt cheap but a good buy especially if you are looking for "parts". Did not see any chem-lab glassware butI did not look.
Cash and carry is the deal
don't know if this makes a difference but it is a state univerisity and this sale is open to all.
and taking commets you are serious about your job and what you enjoy. You also see the forces that a
are greater than you such as your bosses and the
company way, decisions are being made, changes are going to happen and you have forsight and some time to think it through.
My suggestion would be to consider the future after (if) you choose this job promotion, a year or two and you might get an even better job and enjoy it more than you do now.
However you should check and see if there is a tier above this offer and not a dead end.
Also, if your company sees failure or lack of progress as a lack of effort and acts accordingly stay where your are.
There may be another person chomping on their bit to get the job, let them have it, show maturity.
To see if it was mentioned and well I did not find a reference (did not read them all). I read that the Russians actually sent a craft to the moon, it scooped up some Luna soil and returned it to earth.
I agree, I spent about a half an hour on his sight and he seems to have a natural for this, I mean a barrel half full of water, with a board for a table, finding "stuff" around his garage. I got smaller and smaller as I read, I was a mm tall when I clicked off. He shows how anybody can do it, right, mine will be done in the morning and will dissapear when I wake up.
When I bought my portable music recording system it was from an old timer in the business.
He told me about recycling reel to reel tapes with a demagnitizer (or any tape for that manner), I bought one about 2x the size of a hockey puck, never used it but he told me it was a loaded gun around tapes and to be careful or you could nick another tape moving it around to the one you wanted to erase.
During the begining of the cold war, late 40,s the international patent agreement was being drawn up (46 I believe)The(then)U.S.S.R was the first to sign the agreement and to some extent in the private sector reconized other countries patents. They knew it ws important even while they debated blowing up the world.
Believe it or not a good way to not forget a dream is to not roll over after you wake up, then write or type it. On the other hand if you want to forget a dream roll over to the left or right after waking up and chances are you will.
just below the Tenn-Alabama border there is a visitor centor and what appears to be a mockup of a saturn-5, compleat. And I will be damned if I only had one picture left in my camera. The saturn-5 program takes me bact to grade-jr high school when a 19 inch b&w television was brought in (one in each classroom) and the whole school stopped and we watched the launch(s)

I agree with you, I do no think the decision will go uncontested, and I hope it is overturned.
