Nano Sail-D has already successfully demoed solar sail technology on a satellite; it'll be interesting to see it used on a probe.
This is where I live: yesterday, I saw a kid riding his bike to football practice. He was wearing his shoulder pads, his jersey, blue jeans, and a cowboy hat.
Even a ten-gallon won't stave off those concussions...
Was his belt buckle bigger or smaller than his jersey numbers?
looks like in the near future i'll be spending a night in a buffalo near you...
"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."
Be nice to the poor girl, "buffalo" seems a bit harsh. And what does Peckish Jane have to say about this?
Different states and all...
I sure hope you don't mean Minnesota.
nein.

2nd opinion for #Twins RHP Kyle Gibson same as 1st: rehab then re-evaluate; Tommy John surgery still very possible
We complain a lot about the Twins' medical staff, especially this year, but I've yet to hear a second opinion differ from the first, at least in the last few years. I guess the biggest complaint I would have is how often the Twins let a guy sit injured on the bench only to put him on the DL anyways. But, really, we don't know how honest a player is being about the injury, either. It would be nice for a player to come back earlier than projected for once.
One of my baseball trading buddies put together a pretty funny mad lib that the fellow bloggers participated in.
Morneau back in lineup instead of Thome. Otherwise, same as yesterday's that performed so brilliantly. Good thing they didn't DL Nishi. They need him back so fast. His kind of production is too hard to replace.
Maybe Ray Lewis and John Harbaugh will whip him into shape.

Before tonight, the last time #Twins had Mauer/Morneau/Cuddyer/Kubel all together in the lineup was April 12 vs Kansas City.
we won that game, and Brian Duensing (tonights starter) started
A word to all of you young parents in the Nation: I am struggling with how to optimize our kids' college savings assets.
Way back when, the Mrs.'s parents gifted some moolah to each kid to open UGMAs. Well, with the Boy a senior, I finally decided that, just maybe, I should be thinking about the financial aid treatment of those assets in advance of college applications. Whoops.
Thankfully, it appears that I can cash out his UGMA account and re-invest it in a "custodial" 529 account. So, the money is still legally his, but FAFSA apparently would consider the asset ours for financial aid calculation purposes (FAFSA calculates a much, much, much deeper hit on kid assets than on parental assets). I am now racing to get this done before the college application season begins.
The lesson here for you young parents is to put some thinking in to these investment/savings decisions on a regular basis. Don't just set it and forget it the way I did.
I only dream of FAFSA being anything more than wasted paperwork. But yeah, plan ahead.
i hated FAFSA with the power of a thousand spookysuns. their EIC formula is... well, this is a family website.
well, see, I'm just a poor gubmint werker....
my parents were by no means well off, but their EIC stifled me. didn't matter that i'd been filing independently since 18, nor supporting myself from that time (literally supporting myself), their EIC assured i received gubmint aid of no kind for 5 years.
back in the day, I got squat, even though I was the oldest of six and our family was not rich. the fact that we had farmland (and not all paid for) was enough for them to consider us too wealthy for any grants. and my ACT score would be a free ride in Missouri nowadays; didn't get me anything back then. thank God tuition wasn't like it is today at least
needless to say, I don't rush to fill out the FAFSA prior to the deadline, well they'll have to get over it
I actually did pretty well with Carleton back in the day (grants, work study, loans). But I don't think that that is much of a signal about today.
If this is accurate about current sticker prices at Mizzou, I doubt that we would get any aid either (if we were in-state). But when the sticker price is north of $50Gs (for many top-flight liberal arts colleges), I'm hoping for a bit of help from my friends in the government.
Tonight while not posting a game log I went out to dinner with Ms Buffalo and some friends. I had Old Rasputin for the first time. Then the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth time. Every single one of them were awesome.
the Black Hart is the same brewery's dry stout (formerly labeled "Old No. 38", I think).
But yea, the Old Rasputin is awesomeist. I hope someone else drove home. Old Rasputin weighs in at 9 pct ABV.
They have that at El Bait Shop. I might have to make it a point to get down there.
I loved Old Raspy so much when I first had it, I bought a t-shirt. Label on the front, "never say die" on the back.
heh. i'd buy that if it was strictly a rasputin shirt.
