The scariest story you'll read all day....
Quote
ATLANTA — Ponds and swamps are becoming eerily silent.
The familiar melody of ribbits, croaks and chirps is disappearing as a mysterious killer fungus wipes out frog populations around the globe, a phenomenon likened to the extinction of dinosaurs.
Scientists from around the world are meeting Thursday and Friday in Atlanta to organize a worldwide effort to stem the deaths by asking zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens to take in threatened frogs until the fungus can be stopped.

What's the scariest newstory you've ever read??
Actually, the scariest news story I've ever read is something that may never happen. Its if a star nearby our own goes supernova. If that happens within 10 light years from our own star, it will most likely burn off our ozone layer, leaving us completely susciptible to UV radiation from our own sun, which would kill most living things soon after exposure. The scariest thing is there are at least 10 stars within that range that could go supernova anyday and we wouldn't know until we saw it in the sky... scary...

Reply:That Bush had been re-elected.
Reply:That hillery clinton is running for president. I would much rather hear of the extinction of bill and hillery and all of liberalism than of frogs. Frog legs are excellent eating.
Reply:What you cite here is frightening enough! It's close enough to affect humanity and it's real. And ppl who are a lot smarter than me don't have the answer! I've read some books about bigger things to fear but when things like this happen I'm paying attention!
The worse story I can think of was about Flesh Eating Fungi.
Reply:anything from al gore's mouth. global warming is scary
Reply:"Scientists Find Rings Around Uranus!"
Reply:EEEEK!! I hope scientists are meeting to figure out why the wildlife is dissapearing!!
Reply:I now pronounce you man and wife
Reply:That fact that the polar ice caps are melting, because of polution. If it is not stopped than evernually we will be underwater!! very scary.

Reply:The scariest newsstory I have ever read would probably be the salmonella scare in peanut butter. you never know what is in your favorite sandwich spread until it is too late.

Have you ever just taken one of your children (25) and spent the day enjoying nature and taking photos in turn
Just came back from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens where we spent the afternoon looking at the flowers and taking pictures (5 rolls of film). We took turns with my camera, exchanging lens' and filters with the hopes that we'll get at least one usable photo. There will be plenty, I'm sure. She's a good photogragher. The really good thing about it all was that we were looking for pics to blow up and give to my son and his girlfriend for their new apartment. Life, at times, does not get simpler, nor better.
Namaste
Peace and Love

Reply:No, but it's a good idea, especially when they're younger than teens. I wish I'd done more of that...but my son and I used to tell stories back and forth; now he's quite a good writer for his age and does all the lyrics for his band. You have to find their strengths, I suppose.
Reply:Sounds like a wonderful day!

Reply:I am always taken with your peace and happiness. You are a lucky man dear one.
Reply:Sounds like great fun.
Simple can be amazing.

Stone Mountain Park is nice.

Go to Fernbank - the Natural History Museum is kinda ho-hum, but they have an iMax theatre: "OCEANS IN SPACE" now showing - or hit the planetarium (not in the same place).

I like the person above me - I LOVE the Fox, grew up in it - so think anything there is worthwhile. They have a Monday night film festival - and it doesn't really matter what the movie is, you can spend your time roaming around the building if it doesn't interest you, they'll play the organ - and it's a HUGE screen. Goodstuff.

There's always the High Museum, they have a theatre as well, that shows art films and documentaries you won't find anywhere else if you're into that sort of thing:

And the Georgia Aquarium, is a must, it's very beutiful.
Reply:Go watch a Braves game at Turner Field. Make sure you cheer from Brian McCann, catcher for the Braves.Its lots of fun I just got back from there myself. You can also visit the CNN Center, Georgia Aquarium, Zoo, the new Coca- Cola Center. The Underground is neat. Atlanta also has Six-Flags, its a great amusement park. I have been there many time and my favorite was staying a hotel right in the center of the city. There is a lot going on!! Also try the horse and carriage ride around the city at night. Its romantic and tons of fun!! Have a great trip!!
Reply:Floating the river is nice--be crowded though. If you like water activities there are two nice lakes close. A trip to Stone Mountain is interesting.

Tough Calculus Problem.?
A landscape architect plans to enclose a 1300 square foot rectangular region in a botanical garden. She will use shrubs costing $25 per foot along three sides and fencing costing $10 per foot along the north side.
(a) If x is the length of fencing used, write a formula for the total cost in terms of x only.
C(x) =
(b) Find the length of fence that will minimize the total cost.
x = feet
(c) Find the minimum total cost. Give your answer to the nearest penny

Tough Calculus Problem.?
If x is the length of the north side, it must be the length of the south side. Moreover, the length of the east and west sides is 1300/x.
So, for A, you have (10+25)x + (25*2)(1300/x) as the cost. Simplifying, Cost=35 x + 65000/x.
We can then take the derivitive d(Cost)/dx =
35 - 65000/ x^2. We set this = to zero, and x is then sqrt (65000/35), which is about 43-44 ft.
Once you have minimum x, solve the C(x) equation for that value.
Reply:(a) C(x) = 10 x + 25*(x+2*1300/x)
(b) Since x %26gt; 0, let's minimize C(x) for x%26gt;0.
dC/dx = 10+25*(1-2*1300/x^2) = 35 -65000/x^2
dC/dx =0 or x^2 = 65000/35 = 13000/7
Thus, x = sqrt(13000/7) = 43.09 feet for minimum cost.
(c) minimum cost = C(sqrt(13000/7)) = $ 3016.62.

Any suggestions for wedding venues (for 15-20 tables), non-hotel, non-restaurant?
i'm looking for wedding venue(s) outside of the usual hotels, or restaurant? Sit-down dinner/lunch for 15 - 20 tables. ACM, Art Museum, Art House, Botanical Garden, Zoo, Mandai Orchid, anybody has experience to share? Cost? And any other venues all welcome. Thks!

I had my wedding reception at Leicester Tigers Rugby ground and it was superb! Food was excellent, service was perfect. Couldn't have been better if we'd had a 5 * hotel. Worth looking at what's near to you in that line
Reply:Museums are FANTASTIC, but pricey sometimes. If you're close to any universities which have theaters or galleries, that would be a great option. It probably won't cost you an arm and a leg, either.
Reply:Don't forget religious sites, convention halls like IMM or Suntec City ballrooms, and also your neighbourhood community clubs. Even country clubs are fine.
