By the way what this video doesn't show is that Beckham actually kicked TWO balls at Sam Cronin...only one was off target.

Beckham is such a Douchenozzle in the MLS it's embarrassing. He runs that league like it's his own private playground, constantly screaming at officials and telling them "Fuck You" to their faces over and over for nothing. I've lost whatever respect I've had for him since he's show'd what a cruel and insolent jackass he can be.

The MLS is a joke of a league for not dealing with him properly. For this the referee didn't give him a red card, when it clearly is. The league then suspended him for one game and fined him an undisclosed amount of probably $1000 which is pointless for Beckham. It's just nuts, American Football cannot grow with these shit people.

This is a better example of the "muscle"-like characteristic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML-TYiXb_ww

for once New Scientist narrated one of their videos... same footage as original post plus more.

Ah yeah... Mosquito saliva includes an anaesthetic, that's why you don't feel it.

I'm pretty sure the sudden inflation of 5-10 ml's of cold fluid at near the speed of sound into my highly nerve sensitive skin is going to hurt like hell.

Flesh expands around injections because skin and muscle is elastic. However the faster you expand it the more it's going to hurt and damage surrounding tissue.

You're basically being shot, point blank, by a miniature Railgun.

This is actually a pretty basic trick : water and alcohol don't have the same density (water is more dense ~1g/ml whe, alcohol is usualy below 0.8 at ambiant temperature). When the card is moved, gravity is pulling the water. But as the pressure in the two glasses need to be constant, it makes the whisky goes up. You could do that trick with vodka too (but then hard to see the trick). Some oils should work too, depending on how it's made. I'm wondering how milk would behave now, and if the trick would work well with hot salted water and cold distilled water...

According to his biography by Michael Eric Dyson, ML King considered himself a Marxist, but not a Communist. He is usually described as a democratic socialist. He believed the US was on the wrong side of the Vietnam war and that the US should've been on the side of the North Vietnamese. He did think there should be radical wealth distribution in the US.

Makes you wonder about the quality of the MLS. This guy played in the heady heights of the First Division. That's below the Championship which in turn bows to the Premiership.


Actually there's no wondering. I watch the MLS, La Liga, EPL and Bundesliga. The MLS is way below in quality of play of those leagues. It's sort of just an American thing, we've got a lot of speed and power and we know how to build athletes. This game though is a mystery to a lot of American players. Division 1 of the NCAA you'll see some skill, but it's mostly trumped by physical play which carries over into the MLS.

It's not easy to explain, but lets just use a Messi or a Neymar as an example. It's a good chance that they wouldn't even get a chance to shine as kids in the US right now. Because they wouldn't be picked for teams being scrawny and in comparison, slow. Messi is a slow player compared to US players but he's got technical speed...he is fast with the ball GLUED to his foot. Also players like that would look like they're worse than they are because they have NO ONE to play with. It would just be them...being triple teamed and sometimes they'd break free like Neymar in club play or Messi playing for Argentina. But by and large you're playing with a team that you have to play the same level as...so you're not who you were.

An international coach gave me a more simple explanation of what the difference is between the leagues. Look at how a player dribbles the ball, and look at how far they can place it and run onto it while keeping control of it. In the EPL is maybe a couple yards...the more technical players like Suarez would keep it at most a yard from them. La Liga if you watch the most technical players it would be within a foot of them...it's constantly close even when at speed (Messi the ball is either under him or within an inch, he's crazy). The MLS though...the ball is yards away sometimes...and there's still bad and late tackles because players just cannot read the game fast enough.

Autoignition temperature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The autoignition temperature or kindling point of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark. This temperature is required to supply the activation energy needed for combustion. The temperature at which a chemical will ignite decreases as the pressure increases or oxygen concentration increases. It is usually applied to a combustible fuel mixture.

Autoignition temperatures of liquid chemicals are typically measured using a 500 mL flask placed in a temperature controlled oven in accordance with the procedure described in ASTM E659.[1]

[edit] Autoignition equation

The time t_{ig}\, it takes for a material to reach its autoignition temperature T_{ig}\, when exposed to a heat flux q''\, is given by the following equation

t_{ig} = \left ( \frac{\pi}{4} \right ) \left (k \rho c \right )\left [ \frac{T_{ig}-T_{o}}{q''} \right]^2 [2]

where k = thermal conductivity (W/(m·K)), ρ = density (kg/m³), and c = specific heat capacity (J/(kg·K)) of the material of interest. T_{o}\, is the temperature, in kelvins, the material starts at (or the temperature of the bulk material), and q''\, is the heat flux (W/m²) incident to the material.

To be consistent in units the group \left[ \frac{T_{ig}-T_{o}}{q''} \right] should be squared.
