Another glass for our friend doG. My brother grew up to Sesame Street, so here's an add your own verse poem: "Bend and stretch, reach for the stars. There goes Jupiter, here's my arse, Caught on this planet so blue and so fair, except we're spoiling the water and air!"

Mine are 2700 degrees and are common in the market here. Maybe there's older stock. We cannot expect everyone to be as we are so what I will say to this person is that fixtures can help color, including lampshades. Also, I do use my more red-toned 40W incand. running on a 'LOW' wall switch presumably around 20W as I once described my kitchen as otherwise flourescent.

Where is Mr Skeptic? What is your solution?

Blike I honor your sharing. Tomorrow is SOLSTICE and we will howl. iNow, cool, sounds like I'm busted en Espanol. P.S. I'm not getting either upside-down question marks or violas.

ajb, here's a question for you. I am working with the degenerate metric form which is used to describe the Schwarzschild metric: [math] g_{ab}=\eta_{ab} -2mk_ak_b [/math], where [math]\eta_{ab}[/math] is the flat-space Lorentzian form, and [math]k_a[/math] is a null four-vector.. Is this form still useful when we look at interior solutions? I have the example of a ball of constant density, which is solved for interior form and matched at the boundary condition to the exterior solution. I am working to combine a Kerr exterior to the angular momentum source expressed in my electron near-field model.

Careful, that giant salt flat in Bolivia (Salar de Uyuni) which is used to calibrate GPS heights has a long-scale hump of seventy centimeters' variation. Don't take it too fast!!

I had a good conversation with the stock woman at the BiMart electrical section. She was highly knowledgeable and we got down. We both celebrated Christmas light strings of LED's consuming a small fraction. Then she said, I do not like the screw-in flourescents for color quality in my home. I said, wow, interesting, because I like them as being sufficiently yellow to feel good. Thinking back, I adapted a yellow brass fixture which holds two 15 W screwins. I told her I appreciated her opinion and we were cool. What do other people experience in this conversion?

Coldness descends, the sun is lost. Yet, mushrooms sprout. Never overlook an opportunity. I walked into the closed restaurant kitchen in the morning and found a lovely PuertoRiquena friend up to her elbows in a large bowl mixing raw mushrooms in oil and oregano. I hugged her saying ah now I have you where I want you, entre los hongistos. This was fun so I carried on, Yo tengo un hongisto personal! Quiere sentirlo, mi querida amiga???[[Where are the upside-down question marks???]]

Quantum mechanics treats the vacuum as a ground state with an average expectation value of fluctuating fields related to the 1/2 in <n+1/2> as the "energy states of a quantum oscillator". Seems to me they describe what is locally random, but certainly part and parcel of the cosmologic. I am working to show how such a basis, characterized by only the few constants relevant and by geometries, manifests the resonances we call electron, photon, etc. Beyond this level, there is intrinsic in larger and larger collections of such forms, further dynamics and patterns, further forms like nuclei, stars and planets. . . . .<<Important addition: complete theory of the sub-field must include non-locality of entangled states. >>

The TOYES, STRANGE ANIMALS. (I like even the two headbanger tunes.) Fun stuff: "Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight... I wanna fly your ship, one time around the sun, one time around the moon, one time around the Earth, stars, Venus and Mars. Honey I'll be home soon." This album touches deep Spirit and kicks.

Automotive engine for an electric generator?
Norman Albers replied to Pleiades's topic in Engineering
Whoa, Betty, is that the deal, Pleiades? Preheating will be more serious, I suspect, but I hear you. For heavensake, do not be sloppy because oil spilled turns rancid. I had to conflict with a well-motivated son of a friend whose spillage smelled up my hard-earned piece of real estate. -
Especially if you are too fup duck. Further epidemiology, these days I do not tune many pianos since I choose rebuilding jobs as they appear. Thus I have not regularly been in the homes of people with children in school (or not, around here with religious home-schooling strong) as I once was. Thus it is a rare thing that I get a cold?

Sounds like Lymey is pointing the way. For a handful of years I played keybords in a seven-piece rock band--sooo cool. Vocalist, Latin percussion, trumpet, me, etc. We did, twice, a major blowout at their property on their stock generator. The display on my Ensoniq synth had a slight blink but all of my logic was OK. -
Lovely, my friends. I honor all my emotions, and have learned to see the word as "that which moves me to motion". Grateful for the Blues, verse 1: "When the way is dark, with no sign to show... and nobody can find the right way to go, I feel something inside me rise up like a snake. It rattles me deep, saying, "Take this on faith! I will show you the truth, if you'll pay me the dues. Are you ready, to be grateful... for the Blues?" Now, in the spirit of JohnB, Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, and had a symmetry-breaking fall. Unification finally came, so Humpty's back on the wall again!" Here's a little European history: <A time of magic. In many cultures, customs practiced at Christmas go back to pre-Christian times. Many involve divination--foretelling the future at a magic time: the season turning of solstice. In Russia, there's a Christmas divination that involves candles. A girl would sit in a darkened room, with two lighted candles and two mirrors, pointed so that one reflects the candlelight into the other. The viewer would seek the seventh reflection, then look until her future would be seen. The early Germans built a stone altar to Hertha, or Bertha, goddess of domesticity and the home, during winter solstice. With a fire of fir boughs stoked on the altar, Hertha was able to descend through the smoke and guide those who were wise in Saga lore to foretell the fortunes of those at the feast. In Spain, there's an old custom that is a holdover from Roman days. The urn of fate is a large bowl containing slips of paper on which are written all the names of those at a family get-togehter. The slips of paper are drawn out two at a time. Those whose names are so joined are to be devoted friends for the year. Apparently, there's often a little finagling to help matchmaking along, as well. In Scandinavia, some families place all their shoes together, as this will cause them to live in harmony throughout the year. And in many, many cultures, it's considered bad luck for a fire or a candle to go out on Christmas Day. So keep those candles burning!>

Humans have stopped Evolving in Developed Countries
Norman Albers replied to Luminal's topic in Biology
Reading back to the opening thread it seems it gives no nod to cultural continuity and sharing from, say, grandparents to moms and kids. Then, too: Say, what? -
Wasn't there a dramatic play written where people do something like this and it really hits the fan? Now you should offer a song lyric!

Huh? I thought you had to "crack" or whatever the right term is to treat veggie oil with lye to break it down. BIODIESEL. I too should have a generator in case electric power goes out in fire season and we need well water. This is a 2KW load -
Here's a party game I like: give your offering of the crappiest R&R lyrics ever. Here's mine, from an otherwise nice song: "What's your name, is it Billy or Sue, what's your name..." which is fine until the klinker:"I don't care about your personality, what's your name? Oh-ooh, oh-ooh". Barf.

Steady rhythm matched to great lyrics are what nails me. This reaches the power of poetry, which is deep and even visual. Dire Straits: "Won't you tell him I'm callin', just to wish him well; won't you give him my number, Hearthbreak Hotel". Two moods of Paul Simon: "Trust your intuition, it's just like going fishin', you cast your line out... hope you get a bite. I'm gonna watch you shine, I'm gonna watch you grow; I'm gonna paint a sign so you'll always know, that as long as one and one is two, ther will never be a father loves his daughter more than I love you." This, to a lovely island rhythm. Then, "How can you be a Christian, how can you be a Jew? How can you be a Moslem, Hindu, how can you, how can you?" Hard rockin'" Part of me enjoys structure and change. Yet a monotone or chanting can take me places. I'm just hearing a tune called "Satellite Radio" that goes nowhere except I with an occassional IV chord. I love it. One of the most moving slow blues I witnessed in person, locally. It was as slow as the Mississippi heat and went almost nowhere. The singer tore my heart out; there was a solitary move to the V chord in the last bar. You felt the Delta and the humid heat waves. It is not easy to play that slowly.

Interesting thread. All my Briggs and Stratton one-bangers and also our tractors have a sensitive centrifugal throttle dump. The time or two I drove a car with cruise control it seemed to have a strong feedback also. As I scratch my head to remember feedback theory, a simple proportional control will keep you within a "small' range" of RPM reduction. Isn't there a point where you can increase this feedback slightly over that point, to where the control point stays closer to what you want? The cost is a bit of wandering, so damping helps. Beyond proportional control are offset control and even rate control. -
I very much appreciate your well-considered answer. I am slowly but steadily feeling my way into further understanding. As with many of my exchanges with solidspin, this will percolate in and maybe a few weeks later I'll find something intelligent to say! I have read a little on the exterior differential form having to do with considering a normal vector to a surface; the order determines the sense: [math] dx^udx^v = -dx^vdx^u[/math], as you offered.
