Lol, I did it like 4 times!

OH trust me I wanted to eat them. We had a fellow farmer who put a little bull in with them and they commenced to break out every single day after that for a week. We were afraid they would stray out on the Logging route so my x hastily got rid of them - and I was like - we didn't even get to eat one!!! But to be honest I don't think he could have eaten one. He was a Dairy farm boy and this was his first experience with beefers . . . anyway - it was an interesting experience. But there is nothing quite like a tiny new little white face standing with the big ones for the first time - meaning you spot the girls and now beside them a tiny little new face!

Shining Light on the Phases of the Moon

The first celestial object that attracts the attention of many people at a young age is the ever-changing moon. The lunar surface appears to go through phases over the course of a month, but what causes the moon to shine differently from week to week?

The moon itself shines by reflecting sunlight. And other than the sun, the moon is far larger in angular size than any object in the sky. In fact, a full moon is about 30 times larger and more than 1,300 times brighter than the planet Venus. Interested skywatchers can recreate the phases of the moon with an easy at-home experiment.

Mine just went deaf for a minute then popped. Now they hurt! Pressure! Like they need to pop again but aren't!

Living On Dwarf Planet Ceres in the Asteroid Belt (Infographic)

Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt – and the smallest known dwarf planet – is 590 miles (950 kilometers) in diameter. Its orbit between Mars and Jupiter takes 4.6 Earth years to complete. A day on Ceres is 9 hours and 4 minutes long.

Reentering Chinese Rocket Sparks North America Fireballs

The third stage of a Chinese rocket, which blasted off in December to put a remote sensing satellite into orbit, returned into the atmosphere in grand fashion Monday night, sparking a family of spectacular fireballs as it incinerated over the western part of North America.

SOHO Sees Something New Near The Sun

An unusual comet skimmed past the sun on Feb 18-21, 2015, as captured by the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO.

This comet was interesting for two reasons. First it's what's called a non-group comet, meaning it's not part of any known family of comets. Most comets seen by SOHO belong to the Kreutz family – all of which broke off from a single giant comet many centuries ago.

The second reason it's interesting is because the vast majority of comets that come close enough to the sun to be seen by SOHO do not survive the trip. Known as sungrazers, these comets usually evaporate in the intense sunlight. This comet made it to within 2.2 million miles of the sun's surface – but survived the trip intact.

3D Printing Puts Giant Star System in Palm of Your Hand

Most astronomers rely on flat images to study cosmic objects, but a group of researchers is taking an alternate approach: They're creating 3D-printed models of a giant star system in order to study its physical characteristics and investigate its mysterious past.

Eta Carinae is the brightest and most massive star system within 10,000 light-years of Earth, and consists of two stars surrounded by luminous shells of gas. A group of scientists looking to better understand how this system formed created complex computer simulations that predicted how the gas should move and change as the stars orbit each other. The science team also created a video detailing their discoveries about Eta Carinae, based on their findings.

But the simulations were difficult to decipher on a computer screen, so the scientists used a 3D printer to bring features of Eta Carinae to life in three dimensions. The researchers plan on making the 3D printing plans available to the public, so anyone with a 3D printer can hold this complex star system in their hands.

So scary! My house was making some really strange sounds this morning. Like an alarm going off. A constant sound...and loud. Woke me up. It was around 6:30am and I actually got up and out of bed. Walked around the house, but couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from. Very strange. It wasn't an alarm though. It stopped so I went back to bed, but it happened again and again a few more times between 7:00am and 9:00am. Never heard this sound before. Not here or anywhere else. Freaked me out a bit.

My house has been making sounds lately too. It's the ice buildup inside the siding cracking. Makes all kinds of thumps and screeches.

Screech! That describes it! It was awful. For a good couple of hours!

May God keep all you Yankees safe.
This winter is brutal.

Looks like you quaketards had a medical morning. Hoping and praying everything works out for all of Simple's Peoples or as my kids call you... "my imaginary friends". Love you all.

So happy to hear you got your approval Simple ! I know what it's like waiting for that approval when you are staring down a death sentence. I got a double shot of chemo today and combined my effort. I am now a mediquaketard. Insides are shaking like Japan.

Y'all hang in there and keep your spirits up. Or at the very least show up here when they are down.

:shesright:

we are getting 1 to 8 inches of snow and or ice in the morning tomorrow. At least they are admitting they are clueless ! We are on the dividing line, so we get to wait until it's happening to know what we get. Should be fun, I work 30 miles from home. Looks like I get to drive the old Wagoneer in the morning WOO HOO !
