Had lunch downtown with a friend, and afterwards pedaled to the New Haven Green and filled my bike basket up with fresh produce.
Came home with arrugula, broccoli, snap peas, radishes, kale, strawberries, and red raspberries, all locally grown.
This is the best way to shop, friends. Hop on your bike and pedal down the Green for some fresh greens!

"Planets Billions of Years Older Than Earth May Exist in the Milky Way" (Featured Post)
Image/photo

Building a terrestrial planet requires raw materials that weren't available in the early history of the universe. The Big Bang filled space with hydrogen and helium. Chemical elements like silicon and oxygen - key components of rocks - had to be cooked up over time by stars. But how long did that take? How many of such heavy elements do you need to form planets?
Studies have shown that Jupiter-sized gas giants tend to form around stars containing more heavy elements than the Sun. However, research by a team of astronomers completed last year found that planets smaller than Neptune are located around a wide variety of stars, including those with fewer heavy elements than the Sun. As a result, rocky worlds like Earth could have formed earlier than expected in the universe's history.
"This work suggests that terrestrial worlds could form at almost any time in our galaxy's history," said Smithsonian astronomer David Latham (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics). "You don't need many earlier generations of stars." Latham played a lead role in the study, which was led by Lars A. Buchhave from the University of Copenhagen published in the journal Nature.

Astronomers call chemical elements heavier than hydrogen and helium "metals." They measure the metal content, or metallicities, of other stars using the Sun as a benchmark. Stars with more heavy elements are considered metal-rich while stars with fewer heavy elements are considered metal-poor.

Latham and his colleagues examined more than 150 stars known to have planets, based on data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft. They measured the stars' metallicities and correlated that with the sizes of the associated planets. Large planets tended to orbit stars with solar metallicities or higher. Smaller worlds, though, were found around metal-rich and metal-poor stars alike.* "Giant planets prefer metal-rich stars. Little ones don't," explained Latham.

They found that terrestrial planets form at a wide range of metallicities, including systems with only one-quarter of the Sun's metal content.

Their discovery supports the "core accretion" model of planet formation. In this model, primordial dust accumulates into mile-sized planetesimals that then coalesce into full-fledged planets. The largest, weighing 10 times Earth, can then gather surrounding hydrogen and become a gas giant.

A gas giant's core must form quickly since hydrogen in the protoplanetary disk dissipates rapidly, swept away by stellar winds in just a few million years. Higher metallicities might support the formation of large cores, explaining why we're more likely to find a gas giant orbiting a metal-rich star."This result fits with the core accretion model of planet formation in a natural way," said Latham.

But I repeat myself...
At this juncture, despite various attempts at silending me and people like me, I am still quite free, legally speaking, to express myself.

I made a channel on a site I own on a server I rent to express myself on a matter in which I and many like me have long been silenced, hated, ridiculed, oppressed, murdered, imprisoned, and despised.

I have not, in any way, impeded or attempted to impede those with opposing opinions, who are in the vast majority, who have enjoyed free expression and social acceptance of their ideas for the majority of human history, from expressing their ideas.

I have not tried to deny them their rights, hindered them from participating in society or government, denied them their freedom, jobs, food, medical care, the practice of their religions, the reading of their ancient texts (frankly, I encourage they read them, fully, and examine them minutiously), the celebration of their birthdays, or any other thing.

I've expressed my disdain, which I am well within my rights to hold, for their childish, backwards insistence to clinging to outdated, stone-aged dogmas and the harmful practices they've perpetrated as a result of said insistence, their oppression of those who differ with them, and even their contempt prior investigation of opposing ideas, and contempt of which I can most decidely not be accused, having given ample opportunity to their ideas, having explored their literature and attempted their practices, and thoroughly investigated their claims. I have denied nobody their rights. In fact, despite my disdain for religion, I have often defended the rights of the religious to hold their beliefs and practice their rituals, etc., provided, of course, that they do no harm to others, do not force themselves on others, afford others the same peaceful right to choose to believe or not believe as they see fit.

My expression of my disdain in this context is no more a crime that expression of disdain for, say, facebook, or diaspora, or hipsters, or skinny jeans or Honey Boo-Boo, or Justin Bieber, or whatever. It is no more a crime (and I would argue, less offensive) as the religious crusades of vegans, constantly demeaning those who consume meat, and it's certainly far less harmful than the religious denying people dominion over their own bodies, or the right to love whom they love.

People are so quick to defend the religious, who have perpetrated a million deaths, genocide, wars, who have ruled the world for 1000s of years, who have imprisoned, ostracized, banished, beheaded, burned, stabbed, shot, dismembered, and buried alive those who disagree with them,
but the minute an atheist expresses himself, the world jumps on his back and tells him to STFU.

Seriously.
I have never been a militant atheist. I know little of Dawkins or the "new atheists", or any of that, and it doesn't interest me much.
But the more I seek to simply express myself, to vocalize openly, to acknowledge my lack of belief, the more I become subject to such attacks, the more I begin to see the rationale for militant atheism. More and more, militant atheism is making sense to me.
Everybody else is free to express themselves and participate in society and try to impose their ideas on others, but the minute we simply acknowledge our lack of belief, we become subject to attack.

I will continue to use the @godless channel as I see fit.
Don't like it? Don't follow it. Add "godless" to your NotSafeFW filter. I don't care.
I'm not asking any of you to believe anything. I'm not asking any of you to let go of your beliefs.
I'm merely expressing myself.

Edward Snowden: "It's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are."

Public Atheist Monument Going Up Near Courthouse In Starke, Florida, Is First Ever in USA
Image/photo
A small city in heavily Christian northern Florida is about to become home to the first public monument in the United States dedicated to atheism.

Florida members of American Atheists, a national advocacy group, plan to erect a 1,500-pound granite display in front of the Bradford County Courthouse in Starke, Fla., next month, opposite a controversial year-old display of the Ten Commandments outside the same courthouse.

"We'd rather there be no monuments at all, but if they are allowed to have the Ten Commandments, we will have our own," said Ken Loukinen, the director of regional operations for American Atheists who designed the monument.

The new structure will feature quotes related to secularism from Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and American Atheists founder Madalyn Murray O'Hair on a 4-foot-high panel, alongside a bench. It will stand in a small square in front of the courthouse, opposite the 5-foot, 6-ton Ten Commandments monument sponsored by a Christian group.
