Cape Lookout National Seashore - Beach camping All camping within the park is primitive beach camping: there are no designated campgrounds. Permits are not generally required for camping, but overnight groups of 25 or more are required to obtain a Special Use Permit. Permit applications can be downloaded from the Camping Permits webpage. Camping is limited to 14 consecutive days. Tent and vehicle campsites must be at least 100 feet from wells, shade shelters, bulletin boards, docks or other structures and at least 100 yards from any cabin or house. Visitors are welcome to camp with their vehicles, but vehicles must be kept on the oceanside beach seaward of the primary dunes, not between or on top of dunes. Facilities and Amenities There are no camp stores within the park. There are restrooms open seasonally in areas of high visitation including the lighthouse area on South Core Banks, Wade's Shore on Shackleford Banks, and Portsmouth Village on North Core Banks. There are no trash cans on the islands. Campfires and Grills
10 Golden Lessons from Albert Einstein Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving - Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist. He figured out so many universal principles and equations that he was way ahead of his fellow scientists at any point of time. But he is also remembered for another thing; a quality which made people call him a genius: his words. 1. Most people don’t try new things because of their fear of failure. 2. 30 years from now, you won’t possibly remember what chapters you had in your science book; you’d only remember what you learn on your way. 3. When you reflect on how far we humans have come from the prehistoric caves to mind-blowing technological advancements, you would feel the power of imagination. 4. Creativity and uniqueness often depends on how well you hide your sources. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Brown bread vs. white: Are darker foods always better? When it comes to healthy eating, we’re told to choose our foods by colour. The darker and brighter the colour, the more nutrients and phytochemicals they have. For many foods that’s good advice. Brown bread has more vitamins and fibre than white bread. Spinach, carrots and other brightly coloured vegetables offer more beta carotene than celery, cucumbers and other pale looking produce. But dark versus light or brown versus white isn’t always a straightforward choice. Consider raisins. Can you pick which of the following foods deliver the most nutrition? Brown eggs vs. white eggs In this case brown does not mean more nutritious. Brown sugar vs. white sugar Brown isn’t better when it comes to sugar either. Whole wheat pasta vs. white Smart pasta In this case, brown is better for you. But unlike Catelli’s Smart pasta, whole wheat pasta is made from 100-per-cent whole grain semolina flour. Dark poultry meat vs. white poultry meat Pumpernickel bread vs. white bread Orange vs. apple
Pryor Excerpts from Richard Pryor Comedy Routines: Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Meteor sky show set to reach peak 17 November 2011Last updated at 13:22 The Leonids peak on Thursday night The annual Leonids meteor shower is set to reach its peak on Thursday, astronomers say. The shower is caused by the Earth moving through a shower of debris from the comet Tempel-Tuttle. In most years, the shower produces some 10-15 meteors per hour. As is usual, city lights or moonlight could obscure the view for observers. Although normally a quiet meteor shower, every 33-34 years the Leonids put on a major display, known as a meteor storm. The last time this happened was 1999, when more than 1,000 meteors per hour were could be seen. However, many stargazers will still be out this evening to watch, in case they have a stroke of luck. The "radiant" - the apparent origin in the sky - of the meteors lies in the constellation Leo, and it is from here that the Leonids take their name.

Black Hole Birth Announcement - Space News For the first time, astronomers have produced a complete description of a black hole, a concentration of mass so dense that not even light can escape its powerful gravitational pull. Their precise measurements have allowed them to reconstruct the history of the object from its birth some six million years ago. Using several telescopes, both ground-based and in orbit, the scientists unraveled longstanding mysteries about the object called Cygnus X-1, a famous binary-star system discovered to be strongly emitting X-rays nearly a half-century ago. The system consists of a black hole and a companion star from which the black hole is drawing material. The scientists’ efforts yielded the most accurate measurements ever of the black hole’s mass and spin rate. “Because no other information can escape from a black hole, knowing its mass, spin, and electrical charge gives a complete description of it,” said Mark Reid, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).

Page not found Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955), the famous theoretical physicist, developed the theory of relativity and is considered the father of modern physics. The nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer shared his impressions of Einstein by saying, “He was almost wholly without sophistication and wholly without worldliness . . . There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn.” Due to his brilliance Einstein was often called upon to offer opinions on topics beyond the realm of physics; thus the wide range of inspired quotations. “Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.” “Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.” “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” “Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.”
French expressions you won't learn at school -- Expressions françaises en Anglais Carl Sagan We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer and popular science writer. Quotes[edit] In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. The truth may be puzzling. The truth may be puzzling. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. That kind of skeptical, questioning, "don't accept what authority tells you" attitude of science — is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy.

Coca-Cola's New Video Proves Brand Happiness Can Be Viral Happiness is contagious, and that "contagious" quality is where design meets the market. Coca-Cola's Happiness Machine video is a perfect example of how viral happiness can be. The brand's first viral venture captures what happened when they placed a very special vending machine on a college campus. The video launched on January 12 and topped a million views today based solely on people sharing the video through Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and word-of-mouth. The people in the video and people spreading the video will forever share a memory that cements the association of happiness with Coca-Cola. I know I have great memories of Coca-Cola from when I was a kid. How can designers create these special moments--this magic? I would love to know what inspiration you get out of the success of this short but engaging video. Read more of Ravi Sawhney's Design Reach blogBrowse blogs by other Expert Designers
