:(.. i expected a title :sobbing:
Mar 30th, 2007, 05:30 PM
:yawn: Hingis should have left Miami many days ago. She was never going to win with Hantuchova; instead she smudges up her doubles record and loses valuable clay court practice time. Please Martina regroup and switch partners :help:
Mar 30th, 2007, 05:30 PM
Martina /Dani :( :smash: :bigwave:
Mar 30th, 2007, 05:32 PM
Not a surprise.
Mar 30th, 2007, 06:03 PM
Black/Huber :bowdown::eek: :yeah: what a team!!! :)
Mar 30th, 2007, 06:55 PM
this sucks! i was hoping they'd win this tourney.
maybe martina should continue to play with makiri and dani should just concentrate on the singles.
Mar 30th, 2007, 06:56 PM
This actually isn't a bad loss at all.
Cara/Liezel are both amazing doubles player, not too shocking that they won.
Anyway Congrats to them!!
Dani/Marti! :)
I can't be sad, GREAT 1st tournament together. :worship:
Mar 30th, 2007, 06:56 PM
they had a great tournamanet as a new team:shrug:
Mar 30th, 2007, 06:58 PM
this is hopeless. Why are there only two teams dominating doubles? Why? :sad:
Mar 30th, 2007, 07:16 PM
this is hopeless. Why are there only two teams dominating doubles? Why? :sad:

Mar 30th, 2007, 07:22 PM
Congrats Black/Huber!
Mar 30th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Mar 30th, 2007, 08:21 PM
hingis is idiot and smartless when she gets older. Focus single.
Mar 30th, 2007, 08:31 PM
Lost a 1000 V-Cash
Mar 30th, 2007, 08:32 PM
Expected. Black & Huber have been playing so well so far this year. :worship:

good win for the doubles specialists
Rod the Bama
Mar 30th, 2007, 09:13 PM
I was disappointed to see that Dani and Martina lost eariler today. Still it was a very good showing considering it was their first tournament together. I think that they`ll get a title together soon with a little more time together to get the chemistry down perfectly.
Mar 30th, 2007, 09:41 PM
expected, but im sad none the less :lol:
The Kaz
Mar 30th, 2007, 10:27 PM
Well Done Huber/Black :yeah:

Congrats, Black/Huber! :yeah: Win the title! :D
Mar 31st, 2007, 01:13 AM
Black & Huber have been in sizzling in form at the moment ever since their Australian Open title run, so the win is really no surprise. Well done to them :yeah:
Dani & Marti :sad: but still a good result for them in their 1st event together :)
Mar 31st, 2007, 02:56 AM
Martina/Daniela :sobbing:

I agree, a 6-4, 6-3 loss to the Australian Open Champs is very commendable...this is a first-time pairing for Marti and Dani but Black & Huber are longtime doubles specialists and thats what a good doubles team is all about ...both Dani and Marti play singles as well...so if they came this close today...just think what they can accomplish with more doubles play under their belt!!:kiss: :hearts: :worship:
Mar 31st, 2007, 04:12 AM
haaha when i saw HUBER, i was like is anke back playing in the tour? then realized it was leizel. hehe anke and her OMG western forehand.
Mar 31st, 2007, 05:15 AM
Cara/Liezel :D
great final coming :D
Mar 31st, 2007, 05:31 AM
yay..thats great..
Mar 31st, 2007, 02:39 PM
Congrats to Black and Huber. I'm very disappointed with martina's performance in this tournament.

Good fit
October 18, 2013
Just what i was looking for! i purchased this hat to use whilst out walking as, although waterproof coats have hoods, it is easier to see what is going on around you when you wear a hat. the hat is lightweight and easy to stuff in a bag when not in use. i am pleased with my purchase.
October 26, 2013
I have used this hat on a number of occasions and it really is waterproof! very good product!
November 01, 2013
It does appear to be waterproof but its too big for me so only good on a non windy day
November 25, 2013
Less restrictive than a hood and fully waterproof so far

Got what I paid for
brooke from St Petersburg, FL– Verified Buyer
It's okay, but just okay. I actually ended up getting the first shipment with the glass broken so they just said to keep the base pieces and they would ship an entirely new one. well I am really glad they told me to keep the other one because the second shipment pieces didn't quite fit together right. There was a slightly bent part so that I couldn't get them to form a right angle (there are parts you put together to make 2 right angles for the base). So I opened the first shipment and was able to pick and choose across the 8 pieces to make it all work but they certainly weren't built well because they barely fit together, I would have had to return it if I hadn't have a second box to pull parts from. Also the suction cups that come with it are ridiculous, I ended up not using them and instead buying those little rubber clear feet to put over the holes in the metal so that the glass didn't move and looked nice. I wouldn't buy the table again but for the price, it was okay. It's nice enough looking after everything was straightened out.
Nice looking however...
A from Philadelphia, PA– Verified Buyer
I didn't expect the table in so many pieces. I thought the base was one solid piece. I don't like seeing where the base is screwed together. If the base was created as one solid piece it would be an outstanding table.
Seems to be fine
Valued Customer from Texas– Verified Buyer
It's serving its purpose. I just needed something quickly since I just moved. It seems to be just fine.
Great table
Mahdi from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer

Tamarind bonzai
Hey, I was wondering how to bonzai a tamarind tree. I love tropical fruit and would like to try and bonzai one. What would I need?
but seriously..
the first thing you need to do is remember that its "Bonsai"
pronounced "bone-sigh"
Tamarinds make ok bonsai, IMO they dont have the greatest leaf structure for it, but they can work.
what you need to do is learn some basic basics about Bonsai.
the best way to do that is to read many books! :)
you can learn more from one Bonsai book than you could from asking one basic question at a time on a forum like this..
not that forums arent usefull! they are..
but to get that first impression, nothing beats a good book.
Head over to your local Barnes & Noble or library, and brouse/buy/borrow a few books..there are dozens of them.
you need that first introduction to what Bonsai is all about before you can even begin to think about how to "Bonsai a tree"..
Hi - What fruit do you mean - the 3-8" long pods? Not very suitable on a bonsai! Fruit and flowers cannot be reduced the way leaves can in bonsai, so people generally use trees with naturally small ones, like crabapple, kumquat, cherry, etc. But apart from that, Scot is right, you first need to learn a lot about growing bonsai before dreaming about a particular tree. They're not house plants and many things need to be considered when growing them, like soil components, location (indoors or out, depending on where you live and the type of tree), whether you'll need supplementary lighting and/or humidity, what to do with the tree in different seasons, and how to water (which can be a challenge with many trees), as well as when and how to prune roots and branches, how to achieve a particular style and when not to try it, etc. etc. There are lots of books available, and they're a good place to start, as would be a local bonsai club where you can learn how to do things. The one caution I would have is NOT to go to eBay for a tree of any kind until you have a much, much better idea of what 'counts' when you're choosing - and doing so over the internet without being able to examine it properly, and having no feel for how much to pay, is a big mistake.

One Pan Wonders: Italian Sausages with Winter Squash
December dinners must be quick and easy for me. I have so much going on this month that I don't have time to cook elaborate meals. So for the month of December, I'm posting a mini-series of easy, delicious dinners called One Pan Wonders. I call them this because that's what they are: throw wholesome ingredients together on one baking pan, bake, and ta-dah! Out comes an amazing healthy dinner, full of flavor that literally took minutes to make. Dinner doesn't get better than that! This particular one pan wonder is one of my fav's. I love the contrast of the spicy, savory sausage and the sweet, mild winter squash. And don't forget that fresh sage – It really takes the flavor up a few notches!
If you don't like hot sausage, feel free to substitute with a milder or sweet sausage, as well.
One Pan Wonder: Italian Sausages with Winter Squash
Serves 3-4
1 lb rope sausage
1 winter squash (acorn, kabocha, delicata, etc.), halved ,seeded and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 red onion, cut in half and sliced in thick ½ inch slices
2-3 tablespoons oil/fat of choice (I use avocado oil)
5 fresh sage leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
optional: Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese (omit for dairy-free or Whole 30)
Optional Toppings: sliced green onion or parsley
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Put the squash and onion slices on the pan. Pour your oil/fat over the vegetables and toss around until coated. Season with salt and pepper and add your sage leaves. Add sausages to the pan. Roast for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Turn on the broiler and sprinkle Romano cheese all over. Broil for 3 minutes or until cheese and sausages are nice and browned. Top with green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
6 Responses to One Pan Wonders: Italian Sausages with Winter Squash
We had this last night and it was so good! I can't wait for the rest of your one pan wonders
This is super delicious. I had to spread the squash between three pans so that it would roast in single layers, but in terms of effort put in relative to deliciousness had, it is a wonder! Delicious.
We had this last night, and it was amazing! I used butternut squash since it was the only squash they had at Trader Joe's, and it's a new favorite (and SUPER easy) meal in our house!

Why do these people always
Submitted by Erlkoenig (not verified) on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 11:54pm.
Why do these people always blame communication as the issue? Terry S, the citizens get it. You want Wilmingtonians to pay more in taxes for a stadium. The economic development will be diverting revenue from other businesses to the ball games, thereby hurting those businesses.

PowerFit Bootcamp West ColumbiaRead MoreEven before he founded PowerFit Bootcamp, JR Spear always felt a calling to transform people into fitness machines. A fourth-degree black belt and studied martial artist, Spear spent years training future Marine Corps officers and Iraqi soldiers in self-defense and combat skills. Later, Spear taught his own MMA fitness and cardio-kickboxing classes, along with personal and group training sessions. At PowerFit Bootcamp, he and his staff of fitness instructors encourage each student to persevere by leading motivational and high-energy classes. At 12 indoor and outdoor locations, students undergo full-body workouts designed to jettison fat and tone muscle. Trainers welcome students of all stripes, giving them a period of time to complete each move, rather than a number of repetitions, encouraging each student to do as much as he or she can without feeling uncomfortable, overexerting, or resorting to time travel. Along the way, coaches track progress and motivate students by noting benchmarks during physical fitness tests on the first Monday and Tuesday of each month.1500 Sunset Blvd.West Columbia, SC US
24/7 Health & Fitness CenterRead More24/7 Health & Fitness Center equips members with cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, Zumba classes, and the opportunity to work out at all hours of the day. Kettlebells and dumbbells sit neatly organized, and an array of strength-training machines utilize pulleys and levers to help gym-goers build lean muscle. Stationary bicycles, treadmills, and elliptical machines get legs and endorphins pumping, creating the perfect training circuit for upcoming marathons or city-council races.3681 Leaphart RoadWest Columbia, SC US
Bridgepointe CondominiumsRead MoreSporting News Grill offers nine 52-inch high-definition televisions and a zone sound system, offering a panoply of sporting events with coordinated aural stimuli. This upscale sports bar offers a menu that combines the best of pub fare with the greatest of gourmet.100 Sunset BlvdWest Columbia, SC US
CurvesRead MoreMembers at Curves, a fitness center designed exclusively for women, rotate around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with female bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage participants' machine maneuvering and muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing momentum, the hydraulic machines use your own body weight, fitness level, and aerodynamic water bottle to create resistance that matches abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.2319 Augusta RdWest Columbia, SC US
Crossfit Mean MugRead MoreBusiness Basics Equipment: Ropes, rings, tires, Olympic lifting equipment, GHDs, pull-up rig Students should bring: Heart, will power, determination, and the desire to become fit. Registration required: Yes Good for beginners: Yes Average class length: Less than 30 minutes Number of Staff: 1?5 people Class location: Mix of indoor and outdoor classes Established: 2014 Guests allowed: Yes Parking: Parking lot Pro Tip: Be prepared for a fun, yet intense experience. CrossFit is not for everyone, but it is for anyone.34 C Trotter RoadWest Columbia, SC US
The Balance InstituteRead MoreNeither gym nor spa, The Balance Institute cobbles together something wholly unique, blending the best of both to alleviate pain and prevent future maladies. The buzzing, anonymous atmosphere of a gym gives way to friendly, personalized attention. Trainers and massage therapists join forces, working with clients one on one to unravel the underlying cause of pain and reverse years of unhealthy habits, such as poor eating or only ever using your right arm. Personal training begins with a health assessment and veers into moves and stretches designed to strengthen bodies and assuage pain. In private rooms, massage therapists quiet the cries of sore muscles with Swedish strokes, deep-tissue work, or myofascial release therapy.1531 Augusta Rd.West Columbia, SC US

Erin Gregor
Erin leads by example
You'd be forgiven for feeling exhausted after reading through Erin Gregor's CV or scrolling through her diary.
The QUT business and journalism student has fit more into the past four years than many people fit into an entire career ... and she hasn't even finished uni yet!
Erin's devotion to her studies, her university and helping the community have earned her the 2012 QUT Student Leader of the Year award.
Her efforts have also impressed potential employers: She's already accepted a 2013 position as an associate consultant with the Sydney office of global management consulting firm Bain & Company.
Erin's extra-curricular activities - at home and abroad - have included representing QUT in seven international business case competitions, attending seven Model United Nations conferences, serving on the Business School Student Advisory Committee, working as a student ambassador, and helping organise the QUT Ball.
"Travel is a huge part of my life and I've been so lucky to have so many wonderful travel opportunities," she said. "It's hard to pick a highlight but being Chair of the Security Council at the Paris International Model United Nations and winning the USC Marshall International Case Competition in Los Angeles were both once in a lifetime experiences."
Erin's volunteer work has included helping Volunteering Queensland with its social media information during the 2011 Queensland floods and later coordinating 30 QUT international students for volunteering placements.
"I've also had the opportunity to speak to school students about volunteering through the yLead program," she said. "Meeting school student who are passionate about helping others is really inspiring and gives me a lot of faith in the good things people can achieve."
Getting her own priorities in order and balancing her time is something Erin has learnt a lot about in recent years.
"If there is something I'm really passionate about, I will try to find time to fit it in," she said.
"On the other hand, there are only 24 hours in a day and learning when to say no can be just as important.
"The last four years have been a big juggling act but everything I've been involved in has taught me something new and I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had for anything.
"Too many people discount themselves from volunteering or extra-curricular activities or travelling because they think they don't have enough time - but many people look back and realise they had the most spare time while they were at uni.
"You need to find what you're passionate about and get involved and hopefully it will lead to fulfilling experiences, as well as fun times and lifelong friends."

By Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 01 August 2013
"I've been following contemporary photography in [Arab countries and Iran] for decades, and the strongest work in the region is produced by women artists," says Kristen Gresh, the curator of "She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World" at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (27 August-12 January 2014). Bringing together work by 12 female photographers, who have mostly never been shown in the US before, the exhibition aims to "refute the conception that Arab and Iranian women are 'oppressed and powerless'". Gresh was warned that combining gender and geography could lead to "ghetto-ising" and enforce stereotypes of the Middle East, but in fact she hopes to achieve the opposite: to break down misconceptions and challenge the Western notion of the "Orient".
A number of pieces have been directly inspired by recent events, including the Arab Spring and the Iranian Green Movement of 2009. The New York-based Iranian artist Shirin Neshat, for example, is represented by her recent series "Book of Kings", 2012, which deals with the thousands who participated in protests during the uprisings in the past few years. But, Gresh says, "a lot of the work that has to do with [what is happening] now won't come out for a while. There's just a lot to absorb right now."

I am currently re-examining GA with an eye toward what the basis vectors *really are*, rather than what they do. As a tool in this investigation, I am examining the matrix representations of the basis elements, and treating the implied coordinate transformations as a reality, as opposed to a book-keeping convenience.
There is somewhat of a chicken and the egg circular reference in this situation.
Because geometric algebra is associative, and has a multiplication table, we can
find a matrix representation for the elements of this algebra. Now that I am
examining these matrix elements, I begin to suspect things are the other way around.
Each basis matrix has a clear geometrical meaning, usually involving reflections or
rotations. Reflections, in turn, look like a rotation through 180 degrees in a transverse
higher dimensional space. I suspect that the elements of GA are these fundamental
rotations potentially projected from a higher space. I suspect that the associative
nature of GA is the result of the matrix representation of these fundamental rotational
2D Euclidean Geometric Algebra and Matrix Representation
A demonstration program in C is Cliff_4E.c
Just as there are a number of sign convention opportunities in 3D, there is an even greater abundance in 4D (being 64K different conventions, all calculated).
Alan Bromborsky in his python software (Geometric Algebra Module for Sympy) supports generic multivector input. I haven't figured out how to change the output from a standard counting sequence within grade oriented output, however.
Eric Langyel of Terathon Software uses a convention which sets pre-multiplication by the pseudoscalar to have a purely positive signature. This is different from the xz->zx 3D twist which has even numbers of positive and negative terms in the pseudoscalar product.
My more interesting observations so far working with GA in 4D, is that the Euclidean 4D space has a positive definite pseudoscalar, meaning that the incorporation of a geometric meaning for i = sqrt(-1) cannot happen in pure 4D. However, using a Minkowski metric, such as -+++ for tzyx *does* change the resulting 4D pseudoscalar into an imaginary element, thus supporting EM and special relativity.
I am pretty much of the opinion that component sign conventions are merely for our convenience in recognizing relationships. As an example, below is the wedge product in Euclidean four-space. In each of the trivector components, we see cyclic permutations through xyz. In the quadvector component, we likewise see conservation of permutations, where any odd number of pairwise index swaps results in a sign change, while any even number of pairwise swapping leaves the sign unchanged.
However, the reason such patterns are apparent, is due to judicious choice of sign convention, line by line, in the trivector and quadvector terms.

Usually, practitioners of GA (Geometric Algera) avoid component level work, preferring to use symbolic multiplication in the same manner as vector arithmetic operators prefer to avoid components, using vector symbols instead.
I find for myself, however, that I need to be able to explain concepts to a computer to be sure that I understand these concepts myself. Accordingly, I need to be able to write code working with GA at the component level.
Below is a multiplication table and set of component equations for the Euclidean 3D Multivector products. Each bit in the numbers below indicates a directional basis, so the directional unit basis are e.1, e.2 and e.4 in the table below. The scalar term is e.0, which commutes with all other terms. The bivector terms (directed areas) are e.3, e.5 and e.6, and the pseudo-scalar (volume element) is e.7.

As I gain more experience with geometric algebra, I am forming more opinions about style.

vector*trivector, and bivector*trivector is CL3.ginac.cp.
Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter have released "The Long Mars", the third book in the Long Earth series. This book is a fine bus ride companion, being little snippets easily interrupted and resumed. This book overall is nothing exciting. The best insight from this book is that stepping spaces are gravitationally coupled, and that the step-space for Earth versus the step-space for Mars do not necessarily align.
In the Universe as a Simulation theme, the Baryon Imbalance number is the ratio mismatch of the initial number of matter versus anti-matter in the initial universe. According to Ning Bao and Prashant Saraswat, this ratio is between 6.5 to 5.9 E-10. Now, having taught a few computer courses, I recognise this number as being very close to the imbalance between positive versus negative values in 32 bit computers. We have a slight asymmetry in signed, twos complement numbers where we can go one count more negative than positive. For 32 bit numbers, the range is 2147483647 to -2147483648, and the imbalance is 1/2^32 = 2.32830643654e-10. Numerically scaling by e, to get a pre-desired result, has e/2^32 = 6.32899307753e-10, within the range quoted above. My scifi alter-ego loves the idea that we are in a simulation, where a vendor substituted a cheaper binary processor in place of the specified trinary processor, and we are the accidental result of this unauthorized substitution.
The concept of our universe being the interior of a rotating black hole in 5 space has gained significant traction
during the last twenty years. I am very appreciate of "The Universe is Only Spacetime" by John A. Macken for many
of the insights he presents. I especially like his treatment of the connection between gravitational potential,
and escape velocity as the paradigm to look at gravity, rather than the point of view of acceleration and
gravitation potential gradient. He points out that the escape velocity from the center of the earth is higher than
the escape velocity from surface of the earth at the north pole, which in turn is higher than the escape velocity
at the equator. Let's use this approach to the formation of a black hole in five-space, and how it would appear to
the observers inside at later times. Being a sci-fi fan, I use the analogy of an illegal trash dump, where our villian
has continued to dump refuse. At the center of the dump, the escape velocity is increasing with each load until - uh oh -
we hit criticality. Treating lightspeed as a limit, the innermost radii begins to bubble outward, with the interior
empty due to the prohibition of crossing the luminal barrier. This is the big bang initiation for this new island universe.
The wavefront propagates outward at increasing speed as overlayers fall into the event horizon. This is the inflationary
epoch. Once the event horizon has consumed the mass of the illegal garbage dump, inflation stops, being starved of new
mass, and the system begins a new life as a quasi stable black hole on the outside, brand new universe on the inside.
Interior properties of the membrane are set by the mass, charge and rotation of the blackhole; this will generally be different
for each universe. As the universe really is the membrane of the black hole, dimensionality is down by one. Our five dimensional
black hole hosts a four dimensional universe. Our four dimensional universe has its own black hole decendents which
have three dimensional universes, and so on. Given that the black holes have angular momentum, one of the directional
degrees of freedom will not be symmetrical, such as our time, versus r, theta and phi. Some fun here, is that
true four dimensional space can support two orthogonal rotations spaces. . .
Eric Dollard posed a transmission line puzzle. ************* Original Posting *********************** I have a D.C. transmission line, the conductors are 2 inches in diameter, spacing is 18 feet. How many ounces of force are developed upon a 600 foot span of this line, for the following; 1. 1000 ampere line current. 2. 1000 KV line potential?Here is my answer.
Like any major event, there have been prophets who correctly called reality. In this case, George Sudarshan, Chodos, Hauser, Kosteleck, Ehrlich and Eue Jin Jeong are some names to look for.
Chodos, I believe, makes the correct assertion that the left hand only helicity of neutrinos, and the right hand only helicity of anti-neutrinos, guaranteed luminal or tachyonic speeds, and that the presence of neutrino flavor oscillation locked out luminal only speeds leaving strictly superluminal speeds for neutrinos. Because his argument is so neat, I've spent some time to understand his points, and I'm hoping to be able to communicate his arguments.
Neutrinos have an inherent spin, and consequently can be thought of as following a spiral path as they propagate. A good mental picture is to think of the tips of a propellor on an airplane. As the plane flies, the tips of the propellor trace a spiral path. Helicity is measure of the torsion of a spiraling curve. If we are stationary, watching a plane advance toward us, counter-clockwise rotation of the propellor and the closing radial distance traces out a right hand thread, in the sense of screw. This is positive torsion, positive helicity. Now, assume we change our speed from stationary to faster than the airplane. The airplane is now separating from us, as we leave the airplane behind. From our point of view, the trajectory of the propellor tips has changed from a counter-clockwise motion approaching to a counter-clockwise motion receding. The apparent pitch of the spiral, from our point of view, has become negative, and is described as a left handed screw with negative torsion (from our point of view).
We can directly measure high energy neutrinos, and we indirectly infer high and low energy neutrinos when looking at particle decays. The experimental fact is that we see only left-hand neutrinos, and only right-hand anti-neutrinos. If neutrinos travelled at subluminal speeds, a change of reference velocity would guarantee a mix of left and right handed neutrinos. The lower in energy, the closer to 50/50 the randomized mix should be. Because we see *none*, we know neutrinos had to be luminal or beyond.
Now for the fun stuff here. Ordinarily, when we work with mass, we are dealing with stable particles. (Think electrons, protons, etc.) Mass for these particles is a real number, corresponding to an inverse spatial distance in natural units. Unstable particles, on the other hand (think muons, neutrons, etc.), get an imaginary component of mass proportional to the inverse particle lifetime. Particles with mass, even imaginary mass, cannot propagate at light speed. Consequently, when the solar neutrino paradox of 1/3 neutrino flux came up, when physicist proposed neutrino flavor oscillations, this implied neutrino mass, and that, in turned, ruled out luminal speeds. (Neutrino flavor oscillations have been experimentally verified using reactor generated neutrinos, emitted as electron neutrinos, with time correlated detection of electron and muon neutrinos at remote detectors. Japanese Kat experiment, Minnesota experiment.)
Chodos argument from 1985 is thus: Neutrinos can't be subluminal, can't be luminal, must be superluminal.
First verification was supernova 1987A, where neutrinos were detected prior to optical spotting. (Found in retrospect.) Arguments about the delayed photons propagating from the supernova core prevented this observation from being conclusive, but certainly provided indication. Consequently, experiments which generated time resolved, spatially resolved neutrino beams began to look for time of flight measurements. Fermilab MINOS measured superluminal speeds, but the uncertainty in the measurements were less than six standard deviations, and consequently was not deemed definitive. CERN, in turn, has followed up, and reduced measurement uncertainties to the six sigma standard.
Implications for future supernova detection: The supernova events have a large neutrino pulse at fairly constant energy during the collapsing phase transformation (flash), followed by rapidly cooling neutrinos from the hot neutron core. As high energy neutrinos travel slower than low energy neutrinos, (think of proximity to light speed being the high energy condition), we will see the time reversed rising sizzle, then flash for supernova events. Being specific, if we see an increasing neutrino flux coming from Betelguese or Eta Carinae, we would then later see the high energy neutrino flash followed by the optical event.
This would be a very interesting verification, to say the least.

Conclusion - This really great magnetic material is not hematite. It happens to be a really great magnetic material, probably barium-strontium ferrite ceramic.
Future work - I want to make samples of magnetite via the Massurt method both for ferrofluid fun and for characterization of magnetite's magnetic properties.
The encoding of the basis vectors as binary numbers, and the product base being given by XOR is worth illustrating numerically, as some interesting interpretations can be made about dimensionality and multiplication. For traditional quaternions, we have numbers and three spatial dimensions. Borrowing notation from spacetime, I'll call t=00 as the numbers (scalars), i=01 as one space axis, j=10 as another space axis, and k=11 as a third. The multiplication table is
When we extend to traditional octonions, we have

Left Hand Octonion Unit Vector Multiplication TableThe interesting interpretation of the above, seen in Clifford algebra and geometric algebra, is that the quaternion table above is *not* a four dimensional structure, but rather a two dimensional structure, where the multiplication terms involving i and j give rise to an areal term k. In a similar fashion, complex numbers are really dealing with a one dimensional space, and octonions with a three dimensional space. To get a real space-time (four true dimensions), will require sedenions.

Polarity (sign) determined separately.
Knowing that the basis multiplication table can be encoded as binary numbers XORed together, and seeing the power of two number of solutions, I decided that I should examine the solutions as a digital logic problem. Given that the basis logic was XOR based, I was pleased to find Reed-Muller XOR implementations of the sign or polarity logic found above.
Having found digital logic solutions for normed algebras in two, four and eight dimensions, my next target was 16 dimensions. Sedenions are known to not be normal. While I can find numerical special cases where two integer sixteen vectors and a sixteen vector product satisfy the norm relations (based upon any integer being the sum of four squares), there is no general formula. Doing the sixteen bit digital exercise, despite knowing unlikely success, led to an interesting result. In my approach, I used one bit to determine an active high/active low default state for a bit. I then used higher order bits to determine participation of free variables in the sign of the term in the multiplication table. The interesting result, is that while I had conflicting definitions for active high/active low default bit states, I had a consistent set of definitions for how the default state would be modified by 42 free variables.
This result has me very excited. I've always wanted to find a simple explanation for quantum superposition. My hope is to find a simple, mathematical analog to the ring oscillator or logic paradox, where a feedback path with an odd number of inversions, coupled with a propagation delay through the logic creates an inherently oscillating system. A multiplication table which is inherently oscillatory, gives rise to an oscillatory metric, which in turn justifies much of our experience with quantum multivalued weirdness. Philosophically, an inherently oscillating metric structure of space is a good model for Planck scale quantum foam, and in the bigger picture, justification for 'free will', or non-predestination, on the quantum scale.
So, what do I know? I know that the base definition is inconsistent, and that there are flaws (inherent conflicts) in my model for the multiplication table logic. However, I also know, that once a suitable basis is defined, I can give 2^42 new variations on a successful basis.
My current task is to re-examine fundamentals of division algebras. I am re-evaluating the works by Hamilton, Cayley, Kirkland, Clifford, and other great mathematicians from the 1840-1890s, as well as Sylvester (1867), Hadamard (1893) and Walsh (1923) in more recent times. My most recent influence is the geometric algebra interpretation of Clifford algebras by David Hestenes.
My current working assumptions are

Six weeks later, Sinclair's stomach clenched around nothing as he strode into the Lush Beauty Products boardroom like he owned the place.
"—in a friendly takeover bid," Sinclair's boss, company president Roger Rawlings, was saying. "Osland International has purchased fifty-one percent of the Lush Beauty Products voting shares."
Sinclair reflexively straightened in her chair. Good grief, he did own the place.
Could this be a joke?
She glanced from side to side.
Would cameramen jump out any second and shove a microphone in her face? Were they filming even now to record her reaction?
She waited. But Hunter didn't even look her way, and nobody started laughing.
"As many of you are aware," said Roger, "among their other business interests, Osland International owns the Sierra Sanchez line of women's clothing stores across North America, with several outlets in Europe and Australia."
While Roger spoke, and the Lush Beauty managers absorbed the surprising news, Hunter's gaze moved methodically around the big, oval table. His gaze paused on Ethan from product development, then Colleen from marketing. He nodded at Sandra from accounting, and looked to Mary-Anne from distribution.
As her turn grew near, Sinclair composed her expression. In her role as public relations manager, she was used to behaving professionally under trying circumstances. And she'd do that now. If he could handle this, so could she. They were both adults, obviously. And she could behave as professionally as he could. Still, she had to wonder why he hadn't given her a heads-up.
The Hunter she'd met in Manchester had struck her as honorable. She would have thought he'dat least drop her an e-mail. Or had she totally misjudged him? Was he nothing more than a slick, polished player who forgot women the second they were out of his sight?
Maybe he didn't e-mail because he didn't care. Or, worse yet, maybe he didn't even remember.
In the wash of her uncertainty, Roger's voice droned on. "Sierra Sanchez will offer Lush Beauty Products a built-in, high-end retail outlet from which to launch the new Luscious Lavender line. We'll continue seeking other sales outlets, of course. But that is only one of the many ways this partnership will be productive for both parties."
Hunter's gaze hit Sinclair.
He froze for a split second. Then his nostrils flared, and his eyebrows shot up. She could swear a current cracked audibly between them. It blanketed her skin, shimmied down her nervous system, then pooled to a steady hum in the pit of her stomach.
Hunter's jaw tightened around his own obvious shock. Okay. So maybe there was a reason he hadn't given her a heads-up.
There were days when Hunter Osland hated his grandfather's warped sense of humor.And today ranked right up there.
In the instant he saw Sinclair, the last six weeks suddenly made sense—Cleveland's insistence they buy Lush Beauty Products, his demand that Hunter take over as CEO, and his rush to get Hunter in front of the company managers. Cleveland had known she worked here, and he'd somehow figured out Hunter had slept with her.
Hunter's grandfather was, quite literally, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions.
"So please join me in welcoming Mr. Osland to Lush Beauty Products," Roger finished to a polite round of applause. The managers seemed wary, as anyone would be when the corporate leadership suddenly shifted above them.
It was Hunter's job to reassure them. And he now had the additional duty of explaining himself to Sinclair. God only knew what she was thinking. But, talking to her would have to wait. He refocused his gaze on the room in general and moved to the head of the table.
"Thank you very much," he began, smoothly taking control of the meeting, like he'd done at a thousand meetings before.
"First, you should all feel free to call me Hunter. Second, I'd like to assure you up front that Osland International has no plans to make staffing changes, nor to change the current direction of Lush Beauty Products."
He'd mentally rehearsed this next part, although he now knew it was a lie. "My grandfather made the decision to invest in this company because he was excited about your product redevelopment—such as the Luscious Lavender line—and about your plans to expand the company's target demographic."
Hunter now doubted Cleveland had even heard of Lush Beauty Products before meeting Sinclair. And Cleveland would be a lot less excited about the product redevelopment than he was about yanking Hunter's chain.
"Osland International has analyzed your success within the North American midprice market," Hunter told the group.
"And we believe there are a number of opportunities to go upscale and international. We're open to your ideas. And, although Roger will continue to manage day-to-day operations, I'll be hands-on with strategic direction. So I want to invite each of you to stop by and see me. I expect to be on site several days a month, and I believe I'll have an office on the twentieth floor?"
He looked to Roger for confirmation. "Yes," said Roger. "But if any of you have questions or concerns, you should feel free to use me as a sounding board."
The words surprised Hunter. Was Roger telling them not to go directly to Hunter?
"We'll try to make this transition as smooth as possible," Roger continued in a silky voice that set Hunter's teeth on edge. "But we understand some of you may feel challenged and unsettled."
Oh, great little pep talk. Thanks for that, Roger. "There's no need for anyone to feel unsettled," Hunter cut in. "As far as I'm concerned, it's business as usual. And my door is always open." Then he looked directly at Sinclair. "Come and see me."
An hour later, Sinclair took Hunter up on his invitation. On the twentieth floor, she propped herself against the doorjamb of his airy corner office. "This," she said, taking in the big desk, the credenza piled with books and the meeting table that sat eight, "I have got to hear."
He straightened in his high-backed chair and glanced up from his laptop, a flash of guilt in his eyes.
Ignoring the way her heart lifted at his reaction, she took two steps inside and closed the door behind her. He cared that he'd blindsided her. At least that was something.
Not that she cared about him in any fundamental way. She couldn't. They were a brief flash of history, and nothing more.
"It was Gramps," answered Hunter. "He bought the company and sent me here to run it."
"And you didn't know about me?" she guessed.
"I didn't know," he confirmed.
"So, you're not stalking me?"
He hit a key on his computer. "Right. Like any reasonable stalker, I bought your company to get close to you."
She shrugged. "Could happen."
"Well, it didn't. This is Gramps' idea of a joke. I think he knows I slept with you," said Hunter.
"Then there's something wrong with that man." And there was something frightening about a person with enough economic power to buy a four-hundred-person company as a joke. There was something even more frightening about a person who took the trouble to actually do it.
"I think he's losing it in his old age." Then Hunter paused for a moment to consider. "On the other hand, he was always crotchety and controlling."
"Kristy likes him," said Sinclair. Not that she was coming down on Cleveland Osland's side. If Hunter was right, the man was seriously nuts.
"That's because he's batty over your sister."
Sinclair supposed that was probably true. It was Cleveland Osland who had helped Kristy get started in the fashion business last month. And now her career was soaring.
A soaring career was what Sinclair wanted for herself. And what she really wanted was for Hunter not to be a complication in that. She had a huge opportunity here with the planned company expansion and with the development of the new Luscious Lavender line.
She advanced on his wide desk to make her point, forcing herself to ignore the persistent sexual tug that had settled in her abdomen. Whatever they'd had for that brief moment had ended. He was her past, now her boss.
Even if he might be willing to rekindle. And she had no reason to assume he was willing. She was not.
She dropped into one of his guest chairs, keeping her tone light and unconcerned. "So what do we do now?"
A wolfish grin grew on his face.
All right, so maybe there was a reason to assume he was willing.
"No," she said, in a stern voice.
"I didn't say a word."
"You thought it. And the answer is no."
"You're a cold woman."
"I'm an intelligent woman. I'm not about to sleep my way to the top."
"There's a lot to be said for being at the top."
"I guess you would know."
He leaned back in his chair, expression turning mischievous. "Yeah. I guess I would."
She ignored the little-boy charm and leaned forward to prop her elbows on his desk. "Okay, let's talk about how this works."
"I thought we'd pretty much demonstrated how it worked last month."
She wished he'd stop flirting. It was ridiculously tempting to engage. Their verbal foreplay that night had been almost as exciting as the physical stuff.
"Nobody here knows about us," she began, keeping her tone even.
"I know about us," he pointed out.
"But you're going to forget it."
"Not likely," he scoffed.
She leaned farther forward, getting up into his face. "Listen carefully, Hunter. For the purposes of our professional relationship, you are going to forget that you've seen me naked."
"You know, you're very cute when you're angry."
"That's the lamest line I've ever heard."
"No, it's not."
"Can you be serious for a second?"
"What makes you think I'm not serious?"
"Lighten up, Sinclair."
Lighten up? That was his answer?
But she drew back to think about it. Could it be that simple?
"Am I making too much of this?"
He shrugged. "I'm not about to announce anything in the company newsletter. So, unless you spread the word around the water cooler, I think we're good."
She eyed him up. "That's it? Business as usual?"
"Gramps may have bought Lush Beauty Products for his own bizarre reasons. But I'm here to run it, nothing more, nothing less. And you have a job to do."
She came to her feet and gave a sharp nod, telling herself she was relieved, not disappointed, that it would be easy for him to ignore their past.
"See you around the water cooler, I guess," she said in parting.
"Sure," Hunter responded. "Whatever."
Despite the casual goodbye, Hunter knew it would be hell trying to dismiss what they'd shared. As the office door closed behind her, he squeezed his eyes shut and raked a hand through his hair. Their past might have been short, but it was about as memorable as a past could get.
For the thousandth time, he saw Sinclair in the Manchester mansion. She was curled in a leather armchair, beneath the Christmas tree, next to the crackling fireplace. He remembered thinking in that moment that she was about as beautiful as a woman could get. He'd always had a thing for redheads.
When he was sixteen years old, some insane old gypsy had predicted he'd marry a redhead. Hunter wasn't sure if it was the power of suggestion or a lucky guess, but redheads were definitely his dates of choice.
The flames from the fire had reflected around Sinclair, highlighting her rosy cheeks and her bright blue eyes. Her shoulder-length hair flowed in soft waves, teasing and tantalizing him. He'd already discovered she was smart and classy, with a sharp wit that made him want to spar with her for hours on end.
So he'd bided his time. Waiting for the rest of the family to head for bed, hoping against hope that she'd stay up late.
She had.

## I really didn't care much for this book. The only reason I gave this book the second star was because the dialogue was clever and funny, however the story wasn't good. The hero insisted that the heroine needed a makeover which I found insulting. He kept saying that he would hurt her because the affair had to end. And the proposal in the end left a lot to be desired. As did the heroine's sister. She was just awful. Don't waste your money.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Mic Handz - All I Know
Artist: Mic Handz
Featuring: Rock a/k/a/ Rockness Monstah
Producer: Alterbeats
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 8 votes )
It's a gross oversimplification to say that New York City hip-hop is about gritty, hard-edged street rhymes…but that doesn't mean it's not true. Just take Mic Handz new cut All I Know, a DJBooth world premiere joint that proudly carries on the legendary tradition of Brooklyn rap. On Know not only does producer Alterbeats throw down a boom-bap inspired beat, but DJ Modesty drops by with some classic turntable cuts. From there it's up to Handz and guest feature Rockness Monstah to lay down thoroughly real rhymes, letting the world know that all they know is hustling to improve their lives and the lives of their families. While there's no larger project attached to this one, considering all Handz knows is hip-hop, I think we can expect more music from the man for years to come.

On the way to Slavonice
... After the soup the entertainment began-four local musicians who played Czech folk songs, renaissance songs, Slovak tunes, American blues and folk songs. It was a great addition to a traditional Czech dinner of roast pork and rice. We were charged to guess the ages and occupations of the musicians-our table came the closest and we won the prizr of a CD. It was a joyful evening, and we all walked home with smiles on our faces.
Day at leisure
We love this resort so much that we decided to stay another day and night. The photos of Pocatky were taken from a 16th. century bell tower. We were inside at 12 noon but the bells didn't ring. Thank goodness.

There are two parts to the town, the old town (11-12th century) and the (marginally newer 15th century) town square and castle where we are staying. Telc is set amongst a series of lakes or ponds ...

Just watched a report on this on channel 7 news.
What I found interesting was the fact that traffic problems are being made worse by the number of transit agencies in the Bay Area. The fact that for a completely public transit commute it often involves one person needing to change agencies several times. This makes for a difficult commute and streamlining the process will involve getting rid of these separate agencies and coordinating the system.
At last. This is so obvious to me. I hope that progress is moved on this idea as soon as possible, for all our sakes.

The problem with public transit connections in Silicon Valley is that the bus routes are too long and infrequent. That makes it really hard to sync schedules with the trains. We need shorter, more frequent bus routes that loop from the train stations through the neighborhoods and business areas. In San Francisco, buses often run every 5 or 10 minutes during the day and the buses are still full. Here in Palo Alto, most routes only see one bus every hour, so only hard core users take them seriously.

First Year Electric Usage
I came here last year and got lots of advice about replacing my 37year old oil furnace and my 24 year old central air. I ultimately went with a Heat Pump and an oil furnace.
Those Carrier equipments were installed in May. I replaced my electric hot water with a GE heat pump hot water heater in August. I am here to report the results of my electric usage for the last year. I live in suburban Maryland outside DC. Our electric rates are right around 20 Cents per Kwh. Oil prices have been all over, but when I had oil delivered in Feb it was over $4 per gallon.
In the last 12 months we've used 19.3% less electricity then in the preceding 12 months with the difference being a new heat pump for those 12 months and a heat pump electric hot water heater for 9 1/2 of those months. The dollar savings was $670.22. (21,833 Kwh vs 17,624 Kwh and $3401.47 vs $2731.25)
Last June and August were the hottest and near hottest June Augusts on record. Prior to the new Heat Pump, we kept the thermostat at 77 degrees and the system could not keep up with demand upstairs. Typically on hot days the temp would approach 80 degrees. With the new system we set the thermostat to 75 degrees and it kept up with that - only occasionally rising to 76 in the late afternoon on the hottest of days.
With about a $50 per month savings on hot water costs, I'd estimate the actual savings on electricity cost is about $800 per year in 2011 rates. (There are just two of us here, so we never use the electric backup heaters in the hot water heater.)
Needless to say, my wife and I are happy to have a significantly more comfortable home in the summer. We also like the lower temperature with longer run times associated with the Heat Pump in heat mode.
I believe most of the dollar savings is due to the hot water heat pump, but the increase in comfort of the house is priceless!
My oil usage was comparable to prior years, but next year I intend to lock out the oil furnace above either 25 or 30 degrees. This will erode some of the electric savings but help reduce the oil bills. It's definitely an ongoing learning experience for me.
Thanks to you all for the help you gave me.
I would lock out the oil at 30 degrees. I am sure you could go lower but "IF" something happened to the heat pump and you were away for an extended period the chances of anything freezing are slim and none.
If you want to save more energy as the temps start to approach 90 I would try to acclimate to setting the stat at 76 and possibly 77 unless you have dehumidify functions on your system/stat. The longer the run time the better job it should do with humidity which might allow you to bump the temp up a degree or so. Even one degree will make a noticeable difference.
I am sure the comfort level comparison is huge and the energy savings is just an extra bonus.
How noisy is the water heater? I was seriously considering one but have decided to go with a marathon by Rheem with the lifetime warranty poly tank so I will never have to lug it back up out of the basement. I may eventually add a stand alone heat pump water heater to the marathon.
The water heater is quite noisy. Mine is located in my basement so noise is not a concern. It really might be an issue in a utility room off the kitchen, for example. Also, if located in a conditioned space the unit does give off cold air.
I see that Home Depot is carrying a Rheem unit that appears identical in appearance to the GE unit. However, while less expensive, in reading the specs it appears to be a stripped down version.
