Yea man, we all knew, like this is a concretion......
I don't know where everyone else went but I get tired sometime. I guess the other guys do as well. We all have ideologies and seek witness to them. We perceive, not see, through the lens of them. We will see the witnesses we call fourth. This is not vision.
Organics have been found in every sample that they no longer sterilize. The discovery of perchlorates have moved us forward. Tip of the hat to Phoenix.
In the end Levin's experiment on Viking will prove the existence of microorganisms. This simply means that life is universal and the Universe is life. The self we hold so dear is nothing more than a complex protein in the cosmic scheme.
Evolution will move from biological to nonbiological. Consciousness is experienced with memory. We create as we were created, maybe not in form, but, liken to. We will create in our likeness as our creator created in His. We are His Son......
The really cool pictures have been released. The question of whether Mars was every suitable for simple life has been answered. The presence of organics is no longer in question. They have more images no doubt, we should live long enough to see them, I hope.

Tell me about the green bother. That is the data comparision. See the green......Good to have you here GW.....
Nor'easter seems likely. This will be a nuisance to the recovery efforts. Max winds 40-50 mph. Rain on the coast will mix with snow at times inland from Baltimore, and points north and west, on Wednesday.
Snowfall totals 4-8 inches in the high country of West Virginia, Maryland, Penn state, and New England.
Major winter storm gathers in the Rockies late week.. Temperatures falling to -15F with wind driven snow in Montana. Snow totals 1-2 feet, then blowing and drifting snow.
Vincent
ECMF is a statistical outlier. It is, however, a major model. It suggest moderate to heavy snow in Western Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York state.

Apologies,
There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Unfortunately on occasion you will see me drift over the line. I try to clean up when I can. This forum does allow for that and I am grateful. Music is an outlet for me. I can get artsy.....
Next storm in the Rockies.......
Sometimes I play with the dust that dance in the beams in the window....

Sounds like they are in denial, with methane readings. They reduced them to nothing. Seasonal plumes suggest biological vs. geological.
Consensus of 12Z data with known climatology shows a brief intense storm off Hatteras, 995mb storm with winds 40mph moving northeast with main precip band off the coast, Moderate to heavy snow possible over Maine and the gulf of Maine as storm rotates with cut-off 500mb vort max.
Light snow in the Appalachians, 2-4 inches.
Next major storm in the Rockies 7-10 days.
Vincent
There are rumors of a Nor'easter for the mid-Atlantic mid-week. This is only potential. There are hints that the 500mb long wave trof may fragment and a cut-off vortex would develop. This would retard necessary thermal dynamics and send the vort max meandering off the coast and into the Canadian Maritimes.
In other words the models diverge. Let's not scare the people. Worst case scenario, 995mb low off Nantucket. That's 40 mbs higher and 75 nautical miles further east than Sandy. Max wind 50 kts vs., max wind 100 kts with Sandy.
After Sandy, one could call this a stable wave.....
No nose bleed intended.....

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA will host a media teleconference at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) on Friday, Nov. 2, to provide an update on Curiosity's studies of the Martian atmosphere.
The Mars Science Laboratory Project and its Curiosity rover are about three months into a two-year prime mission to investigate whether conditions in Mars' Gale Crater may have been favorable for microbial life.
Audio and visuals of the event will be streamed live online at: http://www.nasa.gov/newsaudio and http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl .
Visuals will be available at the start of the event at: http://go.nasa.gov/curiositytelecon .

Kerouac himself would get a nose bleed from this stream of consciousness.
You sort of got to know how I get down. I usually clean up the noise the next morning but I lost power. They said they had to bring us down to replace a major component that flooded out, down line. Just got power back and did a little house cleaning.
One room of carpet was a total loss. Had to have the padding removed and subfloor treated so no mold would develop.
That was a hell of a storm.....
Vincent
As the storm moves NW, let's talk Mars. News conference 2:30 EDT today. Will they throw us a bone? Let's hope so.....Anyone know how to dry carpet?.......

Water intrusion has abated, so we are holding our own. Occasional rain showers and a few sleet pellets continue with winds SW at 15 Gust to 25. Wind chills -1C. That's Gale Crater weather....
Storm center 90 miles west of Philadelphia drifting west at 15 mph. Winds gusting to 40 mph in NY City at 10AM local, with gust to 50 mph off shore.
Blizzard and Winter Storm warnings continue from Western Maryland to the high country of NC. Gale warnings out for all the great lakes except Lake Michigan that has up-graded to Storm Warnings for winds above 50 mph.

Was thinking for awhile all was well, but my residence is "taking on water." The carpet is slushy, dang. Light rain and ice pellets at 12Z, temp 38F.
Power is on!!! The lights do however, still flicker. Rainfall totals so far 8.75 inches. Current wind gust 32mph, temperature 39F and falling. 272,835 souls still in the dark in Baltimore, 7,000,000 in the NE. Peak wind 58mph during storm at BWI.
Vincent lives.....
12Z data shows the center of the storm passing over my house (20 miles north of Baltimore) at about 1:30 or 1:45AM local time. I have charged everything you can charge. Got a big quilt for the recliner. Temperatures fall into the 30'sF or 3C by 9AM local with 40-50mph winds. That's cold man, that's cold.....
Sandy has set a new record low pressure for above 36 degrees north latitude, 943 mbs.
This link should bring her home.....
Good luck to me.....
Vincent
It sort of feels like a deep dread as Sandy makes her transition to "super storm" and she's heading toward me, sardines and flashlights at the ready. Yikes!
