I was in second grade. My friend Sonia and I were on the bus heading to school. She and I were drawing a stick figure family in the condensation on the window. When we pulled up to the school, I erased it with my sleeve. The bus driver saw me wiping something off the window and starts screaming at me how I was writing swear words. Sonia and I looked at each other, confused. I said, "We were just drawing stick figures."

I shouldn't have said anything because the bus driver started frothing at the mouth, literally. She got spittle all over my face when she told me to get my butt to the principal right now. She wrenched my arm and dragged me off the bus. My feet didn't even touch the steps down.

Debbie Versch was the assistant principal and when she heard I was accused of writing swear words on a bus window, she called my father. Didn't even ask me if it was true. Didn't even consult Sonia. She just immediately called my father and asked if she could paddle me. He said yes.

So she tries to get me to turn around and place my hands on the arm of a chair. I flat out told her no. I didn't do anything wrong. She says how can I prove that. I say prove that I did it! She started getting red in the face. How dare a second grader talk to her like that, I guess..

She grabs me by the arm. The arm the bus driver grabbed. I would find bruises all over my upper arm at home. She starts paddling the crap out of my upper legs. I am now furious, at this point. I turn around in a rage and grab the paddle out of her hands. I throw it in her waste basket so hard it spills over. I turn to her and say, "FUCK YOU. I didn't do any FUCKING THING WRONG." I kick her in the shin and I run out the door, out the front of the school and, because I only lived two streets away--which makes me wonder why I had to ride a bus to school anyway--I run home.

Now, the best part of this story happens years later. My mother and I do a lot of volunteer work with Rotary. Debbie Versch and my mother and I happened to be on the same committee for planning events with a local guardian's home for children. Debbie remembers me and studiously avoids me. After a few weeks of this, I go up to her. "You know, I never did write any swear words on that bus window. You paddled me for no reason. Funny how you claim to care so much about children when you were so eager to beat them." She at least had the courtesy to blush and mumble a mostly incoherent apology. Lame revenge, some would say, but it sure made me feel better about it.

I don't think he melted the plastic... My guess would be that since a microwave excites water molecules, thus heating them and cooking food, the heated water is expanded and turned to vapor. When it cools, it condenses back into water and is re-absorbed into the food, doing something similar to a professional vacuum sealer.

He's not melting the bag. It works via condensation. When he heats up the food, steam fills the bag. Then he seals the steam in the bag. Given a fixed number of water molecules, the vaporous state will occupy a dramatically larger volume than the liquid state. So, as the bag cools and the steam turns back to liquid water, the bag collapses.

Well, this can't very well be a dupe of that, it's almost half of it new material. If anything then Duckmann's might be considered a dupe because all of that content is contained in this sift and then some. But that doesn't really seem fair because he was first. In the end I think the sift is big enough for both the condensed and the verbose version.

Transcript:

President Pitzer, Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:

I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.

I am delighted to be here, and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.

We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.

Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation¹s own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man¹s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.

Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.

This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.

So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this State of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward--and so will space.

William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.

If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space.

Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.

Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and in industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.

In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where the F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.

Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were "made in the United States of America" and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.

The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the the 40-yard lines.

Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.

We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public.

To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.

The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.

And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this State, and this region, will share greatly in this growth. What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space. Houston, your City of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community. During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year; to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this Center in this City.

To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year¹s space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United Stated, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.

But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.

I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute. [laughter]

However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the term of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.

I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."

Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.

Thank you.

When I worked at Motorola we had a big liquid nitrogen tank out back. There was one particular pipe coming out of it that had about 6 inches of frozen water condensation around it. During the summer we'd go out in the 110 degree heat and have snowball fights.

You really won't win any supporters by saying 'Here is a 41 page (!) document which says it all... go and spend ages reading that and then come back to me'.

I don't have the time, I really don't. I post these posts while I wait the 30 seconds to a minute it takes for my application to recompile each time I make a change (I'm a programmer). The length of time it would take me to read a 41 page document this way would be insane.

These videos are just emotive rubbish.

If you have a nicely condensed video that includes the salient points in a non emotive, factual sense that's hard to argue with, then you have a video worth watching, but terrible music videos... sorry, don't do anything for me.

And if you think I'm being a heartless, uncaring bastard, sorry but that's the way of the world, we can't care about everything bad that happens in the world, there's not enough hours in the day, we have to pick our battles.

You've picked yours, but don't get annoyed that bad music videos don't convince people of your stance.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Read some stuff about it, it's bizarre. Hope this sheds some light on it.

no matter what happens with the debates and such. there is a lot of good links now on that sift thanks to everyone here.

im hoping for a condensation of the various info we all have compiled into a new post that is mostly links.

Oh hai sorry to lapse and comment on everything but things actually sort of about me.

im a dude sorry i know the name is a girl .. god... from tolkien. chose it randomly when i made my first eq character.

add your informational links to it maybe skip the opinions and leave them in talk.. just to keep it condensed and useful?

also .. since no one can assure anyone of anyone's intentions... can't we let people decide for themselves and suffer the consequences if they are careless or heartless... because they'll get theirs someday...right? truly, anyone would be so lucky as to read all the debates on this site...even if their initial intention was to be entertained... i know thats what happened to me.

I vote that imstellar was the first as he posted the LINK in his TALK post like a good boy... nearly 4 days ago as of today june 24... and after i submitted "my" movie i clicked his link and found it was the same. So if anyone deserves the sift in this case... it would be him... that is, if it's determined it should be a sift and that i should be the one... i pass the buck here and now!!! better late than never. sorry. make him take it since he brought it up.. or add ALL the info into a new, MEGA post... kinda trending that way. lets make it nice and concise with lots of links to opinions minus the opinions themselves.

this is an extraordinary case that will take a little bit of time to sort out appropriately but there are my belated ideas.

i agree with endall,shamanism is not a new thing.it has been used over the centuries to change our perceptions of reality.humans are limited in their ability to perceive actual reality,we have 5 senses which are our only connection to the physical universe.to say we KNOW conclusively just because our 5 senses tell us so is inaccurate.the brain is the decipherer of these senses,and it is wholly subjective,predicated on our experiences,knowledge and yes...our ego.which is just a construct of who we think we are,not in actuality who we may be.
http://www.videosift.com/video/Perceiving-Reality-A-useful-philosophy
i also agree with tsquire1,but i have to give this guy credit for asking the ultimate questions:who am i really?why am i here?for what purpose do i serve?
are these not questions we all ask?
this video is this mans answer,condensed im guessing,takes courage to throw it out there for people to appreciate,or many times..attack.people tend to get very defensive when you point to their firmly held beliefs and say "i think your subjective reality is incorrect".

Kafka was Czech, not Polish.

And he certainly wasn't a philosopher, just a brilliant writer.


thanks for the clarification on kafka's place of birth,thought it was poland.
but i disagree with you in saying that kafka was not a philosopher.
aristotle,socrates,nicodemus,sun tzu?....no.
but are not all writers,and especially poets, constantly perfecting their craft in condensing the real,and unreal,into a concentrated vision of truth?
they gaze unblinking at the void and expose their souls for all to admire...or admonish.
that, my friend, takes courage few have.
is that not..
in essence..
the very core of philosophy?
before you can think..you must LOOK..
before you can FEEL..you must experience..
we all are tiny gods in our own way.
petty philosophers tinkering with the creation that is our life.
but the greats...
neitzsche,hegel,jung,tielhard etc etc,
ah..they had BALLS.
they stared into the abyss unflinching.
sighs..
i wax melodramitic here..
but i cant help it.
kafka's poetry is infuriatingly obtuse at times,but his genius in rare moments cannot be denied.
but to be honest...
it's J Keats who always makes my feeble attempts appear small,fragile and
a stunning tribute to pure hackery.
that man WAS poetry.
interesting that both kafka and keats died of consumption.
in any case..
thank you my friend for setting me straight,
and allowing an old man to babble about his heroes.
till next time..
namaste.
