POY: Katchalov Still on Top, But Circuit Back in Full Swing
Katchalov is still the player to beat with five months to go in the raceThe poker doldrums of late July meant there were little changes in the BLUFF Player of the Year rankings this week. While that likely pleases current frontrunner, Eugene Katchalov, there are plenty of others near the top of the ranks [...]

Another Take on Supersonic Aircraft
Our ability to fly at supersonic speeds over land in civil aircraft depends on our ability to reduce the level of sonic booms. NASA has been exploring a variety of options for quieting the boom, starting with design concepts and moving through wind tunnel tests to flight tests of new technologies. This rendering of a possible future civil supersonic transport shows a vehicle that is shaped to reduce the sonic shockwave signature and also to reduce drag. Image credit: NASA/Lockheed Martin

Mo (short for Mohawk)
Location: Straitsville, Ohio, USA
http://www.dailykitten.com/wp-conten...8-IMG_0323.jpg Mo is one of three kittens (the fourth one didn’t make it) from my cat Rosie. I first got Rosie at the end of April, 2011 – she was a dumpster kitty at my Mother’s apartment building, so I brought her home as an outdoor cat, a mouser. She was there a few days then disappeared. A week later, the beginning of May, my Mother called me at work that the cat was back. So, that first weekend in May I stopped again and brought her home, this time making her an indoor cat. I took her to the vet and we really couldn’t tell how old she was as she is a small featured cat and very thin. I began feeding her kitten food assuming she wasn’t very old. We tested her for feline leukemia, which was negative, but considering her past I didn’t want to get her fixed until we did a follow-up test as she had an abscess where she’d been in a fight. A few weeks later, she started gaining a little weight, which later was more weight all in her belly. It was mid-June or so when I realized there were little paws poking around in her belly when she lay sleeping. On July 4th, basically eight and a half weeks after bringing her home, we got four new kittens. I like to think that my cross-eyed little dumpster kitty came to my house to smoke the cigarette. Although Snowball died at two days old, we have Mo (Mohawk marking on his head), Sleeves (dark gray markings from her shoulders to wrists as well as dark face and black ears and dark tail), and Chill (she likes to wander away from the others and just sit and watch).

Dental Visit
Today's picture is from 1942, and was submitted by VM Sehy. Her dad is the assistant standing in the right of the picture. He as in the Navy Dental Corps, and assisted several different dentists during the war. I find these WW II photos interesting. Even though there are no military insignia in the photograph, the picture screams "G.I.". I wonder what about this makes it look like a government photo? As an added bonus today, we have this photo submitted by Joe W. It shows his mom (the little girl) and his great grandparents. His mom was raised by the grandparents in the picture. https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...s.blogspot.com http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...k8-hQmDvA/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...k8-hQmDvA/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogs...~4/TMYPQGrMV8U More... |
