chock full o' random

Facebook tidbits:

1) For those interested, there's a Save Realms of Fantasy group.

2) Is anyone else unhealthily obsessed with Green Patch? It's like virtual crack to my borderline-OCD-obsessive-collector-self: "OMG! OMG! I don't have a Venus Fly Trap!" (panics and dies) Strangely, I just don't care about the Blue Cove.

Other stuff:

3) Does anyone know if there's any specific code in terms of having to have a hand-rail on a particular side of a stairwell? My basement stairs is closed w/ a rail on both sides and I want to take out one of the rails to facilitate installing a baby gate there.

4) Does anyone know enough physics and have the patience and time to walk me through figuring out some fairly specific things about the behavior of my planetary system? I'm not looking for someone to do it all for me, but I do need guidance (and possibly math skills beyond my own.)

5) Anyone have a variety of rose they are particularly fond of and would like to see referenced in a short story?

Your house is a "One or Two Family Dwelling", so this comes under the Mass. Building Code 3603.14.1.1, Handrails: "Handrails having minimum and maximum heights of 30 inches and 38 inches (762 mm and 965 mm), respectively, measured vertically from the nosing of the treads, shall be provided on at least one side of stairways of three or more risers."

So you can take out one of the rails as long as you leave the other one.
