I've applied for a job I both need and want very much. The interview was yesterday; I believe I did well, but I won't know the outcome until after the first of June. Please wish me luck, or say a prayer for me--I have been looking for work for months, and this job would be ideal. Thank you all. Sincerely, TheQueenly1 Reply #18141. May 17 18, 8:53 PM |

As Kilauea continues to erupt and throws massive amounts of material explosively into the air, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is closed to the public. NPR spoke with a park ranger today who reported on the condition of the buildings in the park. When asked if the ranger wasn't afraid of being caught in some downpour of burning lava, the ranger rather cleverly pointed to the park service's trademark Smokey Bear headgear and said "That's why we wear this special hat."

Please don't make a quiz question that says something like, "Everyone knows...". I just had one of those in the Duels and I have never even heard of the book it was talking about, let alone the thing that I "already know". *shaking my head* Reply #18145. May 18 18, 12:54 AM |

I really want to visit all of the inhabited British islands over the next few years, so tomorrow I am planning a short trip to Great Cumbrae, in the Firth of Clyde. Looking forward to it! Reply #18147. May 18 18, 1:53 AM |

RE Yanny/Laurel thing: the clip you hear actually has both of those being said at the same time, but with voices that have different pitches. I heard Laurel in a low-pitched male voice, so I assume that those who hear Yanny are hearing a higher-pitched sound. Which one you hear depends on at least two factors. First, as you age your hearing tends to be less responsive to high frequencies, so you are more likely to pick up the lower-pitched sounds. Second, it also depends on the physical device that is reproducing the sound for you. Different speakers will have different balances of the mixture of frequencies. I have a friend who heard Yanny while driving in her car and hearing it on the radio, but Laurel when she got home and it came over her digital home radio. It's a little like the color-blindness charts, which are a bunch of dots in different colors. If you have normal trichromatic vision, a certain combination of them will appear to be the same color, and you see that number/letter/image. But if your eyes are not able to distinguish that particular color from others, you see a different number/letter/image, which is produced by the strength of the color (how bright the dot is), not be its actual color. In fact, since there are a number of different types of color-blindness, there may be a number of different observations! All of those are there all the time, it's just a matter of what your senses pick up. Reply #18148. May 18 18, 4:27 AM |

Reuters By Terray Sylvester PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano spewed ash nearly six miles (9 km) into the sky on Thursday and scientists warned this could be the first in a string of more violent explosive eruptions with the next possibly occurring within hours.

Manchester (money is no object) United v Chelsea (money is no object)..........boring, boring, BORING. :( Reply #18160. May 19 18, 7:49 AM |
