Ruby-1.8.7 and rubygems

downloaded the packages, and now what.
Stepping into unknown territory,
The rails, the framework..
look here
looks like fun.

Absract for a while.

Not that that isn’t my way,
to hide
Going live, the responsibilities, the construction of good content, the hang on a minute
I have to lead this in direction of a picture, What do I have?

Astragalus

With that name it has to be good

I have been thinking about this for days, and had totally forgotten I had made a mention of it here.
Not the elixir (check my own spelling)
from Russian ‘Medical power’,
from Greek ‘dry’
But a compensation maybe.
A quick glance behind the veil.
So many thoughts escape us. and me and you.
Oppurtunities, pathways choices, belief,.. faith, whatever tou would czll it. (you would call it.)
Is there any strange reference to tau now. (or tou)
A wiki link for more thought.
And i was going to look it up, to remind myself what all the fuss was about.

tis one direction
Nice isn’t it.
locoweed and vetches
I think it was something to do with telomers, but the opposite, i can’t remember.
more googling required.
and i have just seen a reference to telomerase, so not sure what i thought.
And just to completely change the subject, neuro toxin comes to mind.
and considering that level of biochemical interaction, who is to say on what plane of existance we reside.
vertical world-axis, you could go Crazy
I do seem to be a roller of rollies..

Sand, and go God for getting it done in under a week

You know if it was down to me the solar system wouldn’t have been finished, just kind of left there suspended in a curved space time geometrical shape.. hanging.
It has to do with Character and the necassary traits to complete a task.
Some folk.. Brilliant, but always moving on to the next big thing.
And tonight we shall consider sand, for it is most intriguing in it’s cubical nature.

SiO2

Sand covers.. no one seems to commit a very accurate answer of it’s proliferation across the globe, but let us just say there is lots of sand.
And we do love our beaches, the sea crashing in, yo Dude surfer dude, or gently rolling casting it’s salty spray on tanning skin.
Between our toes and in our shoes the sand of life from days gone by.
Organisms perished holding aged secrets of weather patterns, climatic flux, turbulanec in our eco system.
I’m nearly sure that Sahara means desert.
So we have desert desert, and as we have previously stated we love our sand, but I’m kinda thinking that God must have got a little distracted in the old creation thingy, and thought **** it, I’ll just wap a desert there, no bother, easy chemistry, no complex structures, obviously feeling a little bit tired today.
‘You know plenty of mountains and lots of beautiful pastures, my creativity has limits.’
The above: not a real quote from God, just a satirical comment by the author of this nonsense.
So we have sand, and if I was a comical genious I could expand upon this and possibly make you laugh, but bestowed onto me was a body which appreciates temperatures in the temperate zone, so it does kind of make me wonder.. What the hell when I think of deserts, in particular conjunction with the biblical interpretation of the age of the planet.
And having said all that Only six months till a holiday on the beach.
My Lordy.

Have you been watching FRINGE

I will read your mind

The pilot episode:
guy/partner in delerious abandonment, or coma is contacted.
Partner/girl through a cocktail of drungs including lysergic acid and muscle relaxants, makes contact.

I forget the exact details, but suffice to say contact was made on a esoteric level.
The power house the brain…
Commands me to raise my glass through choice of will.
My mind contemplates my choice.#
And wonders if my mind is my brain..
A subtle seperation where you find your hovering ability, or remembering the view from the roof of your childhood house.
Strange it is, to be amoung so many, yet to be unique.
We could now talk about multi personality perception, and laugh.

For your consideration

Background

I’d just like to say about the wordpress 2.6..whateverversion, that auto saving can be a little dis·con·cert·ing.
I was going to ramble on about backgrounds.
and resisting the psychologically unfit compulsive urge to put all your css in neat optimized columns.

Body backgrounds

Don’t quote me on this, but they are both there, and not there.
?Do i deliberately mean to be so mysterious.. Possibly.

The larger backgrounds when placed behind a containing div of set width don’t cause any horizontal scroll bars, and it makes me think i should test things to consider a theory.
But i might just hit publish and have a cup to tea.

Scientists identify first genetic variant linked to biological aging in humans

The risk of age-associated diseases including heart disease and some types of cancers are more closely related to biological rather than chronological age, European researchers have found, showing that telomere lengths depend on the presence of gene variants near a gene called TERC.

By tracking water molecules, physicists hope to unlock secrets of life

Rockefeller University researchers have discovered how interaction between water molecules paves the way for understanding how water can be manipulated to facilitate or prevent substances from dissolving in it, an advance that could impact every corner of society, from reforming agricultural practices to improving chemotherapy drugs whose side effects arise from their solubility or insolubility in water.

U.S. Solar Market to Double in the Next Year

The United States is likely to be the world's largest market for solar power in a few years and this year's solar installations could double, reaching a gigawatt of capacity. The growth had several likely causes, including decreasing prices for solar panels and installation costs, and increasing state incentives.
