He's got more names than a rapper, and now you can add Father Goose to the long list of names for Austin. But what kind of nursery rhymes would he be telling?Maybe?
Gray goose and gander,
Waft your wings together,
And carry the good king's Prince
Over the one-strand river
Jakey Jakey pudding pie
Kissed his boy
And made him shy
When the paps came out to play
Jakey Jakey smiled away
Give it your best shot.
But would he be snoozing before he finished the book?
Clarity, I do hope you'll still come around for the music.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment about WFT2 and OMG being different places- I think there are trolls who try and make problems between the two blogs. I think they do it more over there than over here because people are anons over there. I can't say that some folks over there don't think bad things about us, and I can't say that some folks over here don't think bad things about WFT2. I think most people in the fandom appreciate both blogs, though.
Thanks to all those from outside the US who answered my question. Good to hear from you, AG!
I hope you stick around too Clarity. I certainly don't agree with a lot of what is going on, and I think most people are not okay with the hiding, especially if there is a baby. And while more and more people are coming out, it is still barely a drop in the the pond when it comes to certain field, like HW and sports. That is why we celebrate the ones who are out so much; if being out were the norm no one would be doing that.
ReplyDeleteNow, back on topic. I seem to recall a rhyme or children's story that has a goose named Lucy, but I have no idea what I'm thinking of.
Love this picture of Austin. Haven't see it before. Where's it from?
ReplyDeleteReese's eyes do look different in these new pix. The Babblers even noticed it. Maybe Reese got the message about looking so much older than her young boyfriend and had some much needed work done?
ReplyDeleteWhat boyfriend?
ReplyDeleteThis post is for the "au" sis' who expressed an opinion yesterday.
ReplyDeleteObama stole this election by fraudating the caucus votes, with the blessing of the party bosses.
By contrary, when it was voted directly one-person-one-vote in "primaries" (as oposed to caucuses), Hillary won by a large margin.
Dr.Long has the actual figures (number of votes cast) on her site http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/
and an abreviated report here http://www.lynettelong.com/CaucusAnalysisCorrected.pdf
Not everyone abroad is uninformed of what's really happening.
Wasn't Naomi Foner friends with a Weather Underground member? Quite understandable why she supports Ayers-Obama.
Reese's eye don't look that different. They kind of look a puffy here. Reese in Brazil
ReplyDeleteStates like Iowa and Nevada chose to have caucuses, not Obama. If people don't like that method for chosing their candidate, then it is up to the people in those states to get it changed. Hilary lost because she thought she could basically ignore the smaller states and the states with caucuses, and didn't have enough people in those states to run the right kind of campaign. Her campaign also wasn't smart enough to figure out that you can win a state, but still end up with fewer delegates because you didn't win in some of the bigger districts. Hilary lost because she had advisers who were not smart enough to figure out what they had to do to win. IMO, if you don't pick the right people to run your campaign and can't figure out how to win, that says a lot about your ability to figure out how to chose the right people to advise you when you're running the country.
ReplyDeleteI also think we ought to delete Puma2's comment - I thought we weren't going to discuss family members who have nothing to do with the main topic of OMG. I'm all for freedom of speech, but why cast aspersions on someone who isnt' here to defend themselves? You've also got to put the WeatherUnderground in the context of the times it occured in. Puma1 sounds like they are from the McCarthy-era who would blacklist someone merely for who they know or associate with. I also think they posted yesterday as Skeptic, and are a troll. As I said, I'm all for free speech, but you can express a differing opinion without namecalling a candidate.
ReplyDeleteSorry, People, but Reese's eyes look different to me.
ReplyDeleteAbout the accusations of mysogyny that are being thrown around the various blogs so easily - I think it says more about how a person feels about women's equality when they vote for the most qualified candidate, not simply because the candidate may be a woman. When you are judged on equal footing as your opponent, that's when you know you've attained true equality. Either way, our election this year is historic.
ReplyDelete"Don't Ask Reese Witherspoon About Jake Gyllenhaal

ReplyDeleteIf we have to hear their opinion about crap like "domestic violence" then they should be willing to talk about the things that people WANT TO hear about. Of course I can understand why she makes demands having such a huge pole up her ass. Maybe if she got hit every now and then she'd learn to be more humble.

ReplyDeleteokay then i'll start a discussion about dynamic, absolute and kinematic viscosity. Its really interesting. Saybolt Universal Seconds (or SUS) is used to measure viscosity. It's always fascinated me. The efflux time is Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) required for 60 milliliters of a petroleum product to flow through the calibrated orifice of a Saybolt Universal viscometer, under carefully controlled temperature and as prescribed by test method ASTM D 88. This method has largely been replaced by the kinematic viscosity method. Saybolt Universal Seconds is also called the SSU number (Seconds Saybolt Universal) or SSF number (Saybolt Seconds Furol). Can believe that? wow.
Palin was mayor of a town with a population of 5,000 and has only been governor of Alaska for 1 1/2 years. She's pro-life, anti-gay marriage, gun-toting member of the NRA.

the history of the typewriter is very exciting. Did you know the concept of a typewriter dates back at least to 1714, when Englishman Henry Mill filed a vaguely-worded patent for "an artificial machine or method for the impressing or transcribing of letters singly or progressively one after another." But the first typewriter proven to have worked was built by the Italian Pellegrino Turri in 1808 for his blind friend Countess Carolina Fantoni da Fivizzono (as established by Michael Adler in his excellent 1973 book The Writing Machine); unfortunately, we do not know what the machine looked like, but we do have specimens of letters written by the Countess on it.
ReplyDeleteNumerous inventors in Europe and the U.S. worked on typewriters in the 19th century, but successful commercial production began only with the "writing ball" of Danish pastor Malling Hansen (1870). This well-engineered device looked rather like a pincushion. Nietzsche's mother and sister once gave him one for Christmas. He hated it.
Much more influential, in the long run, was the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer, which began production in late 1873 and appeared on the American market in 1874.
Christopher L. Sholes, a Milwaukee newspaperman, poet, and part-time inventor, was the main creator of this machine. The Sholes & Glidden typed only in capital letters, and it introduced the QWERTY keyboard, which is very much with us today. The keyboard was probably designed to separate frequently-used pairs of typebars so that the typebars would not clash and get stuck at the printing point. The S&G was a decorative machine, boasting painted flowers and decals. It looked rather like a sewing machine, as it was manufactured by the sewing machine department of the Remington arms company. For an in-depth look at this historic device, visit Darryl Rehr's Web site "The First Typewriter."
The Sholes & Glidden had limited success, but its successor, the Remington, soon became a dominant presence in the industry.
The Sholes & Glidden, like many early typewriters, is an understroke or "blind" writer: the typebars are arranged in a circular basket under the platen (the printing surface) and type on the bottom of the platen. This means that the typist (confusingly called a "typewriter" herself in the early days) has to lift up the carriage to see her work. Another example of an understroke typebar machine is the Caligraph of 1880, the second typewriter to appear on the American market.
This Caligraph has a "full" keyboard -- separate keys for lower- and upper-case letters. Click here to read more about the Caligraph.
The Smith Premier (1890) is another example of a full-keyboard understroke typewriter which was very popular in its day. Click here to read more and see the machine.
The QWERTY keyboard came to be called the "Universal" keyboard, as the alternative keyboards fought a losing battle against the QWERTY momentum. (For more on QWERTY and to learn why "QWERTY is cool," visit Darryl Rehr's site The QWERTY Connection.) But not all early typewriters used the QWERTY system, and many did not even type with typebars. Case in point: the ingenious Hammond, introduced in 1884. The Hammond came on the scene with its own keyboard, the two-row, curved "Ideal" keyboard -- although Universal Hammonds were also soon made available. The Hammond prints from a type shuttle -- a C-shaped piece of vulcanized rubber. The shuttle can easily be exchanged when you want to use a different typeface. There is no cylindrical platen as on typebar typewriters; the paper is hit against the shuttle by a hammer.
The Hammond gained a solid base of loyal customers. These well-engineered machines lasted, with a name change to Varityper and electrification, right up to the beginning of the word-processor era.
Other machines typing from a single type element rather than typebars included the gorgeous Crandall (1881) ...
... and the practical Blickensderfer.
The effort to create a visible rather than "blind" machine led to many ingenious ways of getting the typebars to the platen. Examples of early visible writers include the Williams and the Oliver. The Daugherty Visible of 1891 was the first frontstroke typewriter to go into production: the typebars rest below the platen and hit the front of it. With the Underwood of 1895, this style of typewriter began to gain ascendancy. By the 1920s, virtually all typewriters were "look-alikes": frontstroke, QWERTY, typebar machines printing through a ribbon, using one shift key and four banks of keys. The most popular model of early Underwoods, the #5, is still to be found everywhere.
Let's return for a moment to the 19th century. The standard price for a typewriter was $100 -- comparable to the price of a good personal computer today. There were many efforts to produce cheaper typewriters. Most of these were index machines: the typist first points at a letter on some sort of index, then performs another motion to print the letter. Obviously, these were not heavy-duty office machines; they were meant for people of limited means who needed to do some occasional typing. An example is the "American" index typewriter, which sold for $5. Index typewriters survived into the 20th century as children's toys; one commonly found example is the "Dial" typewriter made by Marx Toys in the 1920s and 30s.

ReplyDeleteI could look at rocks all day. Just love em. Did you know heat is an important agent in the metamorphic modification of rock? Rocks begin to change chemically at temperatures above 200° Celsius. At these temperatures, the crystalline structure of the minerals in the rock are broken down and transformed using different combinations of the available elements and compounds. As a result, new minerals are created. The metamorphic process stops when the temperatures become high enough (600 to 1200° Celsius) to cause complete melting of the rock. If rocks are heated to the point where they become magma, the magma when cooled creates new igneous rocks. Thus, metamorphism only refers to the alteration of rock that takes place before complete melting occurs.
ReplyDeleteHeat can be applied to rock through two processes: tectonic subduction and the intrusion of magma. Some rocks that are formed at the surface are subsequently transported deep into the crust and the upper mantle at tectonic subduction zones. Temperatures beneath the Earth's surface increase with depth at a rate of about 25° Celsius per kilometer. Scientists estimate that the temperature at the base of the crust is about 800 to 1200° Celsius. This heat is generated from the decay of radioactive materials, mainly in the crust, and heat released from the Earth's core.
Magma can sometimes migrate up through the crust forming an igneous intrusion. This is especially true along continental boundaries, like the western side of North America, where subduction is taking place. Metamorphism takes place in the rock surrounding the magma body because of heat dissipation. Because of the nature of the dissipation process, the level of metamorphic alteration in the influenced rock decreases with distance from the igneous intrusion. Lets start a discussion!

And people think stars have funny names for their kids. Is Trig short for Trigger? Named after a horse or a gun reference?
ReplyDeleteShe named her kid Trig for trigonometry. another fascinating subject.
ReplyDeleteThe cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle. The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90°. For instance, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°. Generally, for any angle t,
cos t = sin (90° – t).
Written in terms of radian measurement, this identity becomes
cos t = sin (pi/2 – t).
Right triangles and cosines
Consider a right triangle ABC with a right angle at C.
Right triangle with parts standarly labeled
As mentioned before, we'll generally use the letter a to denote the side opposite angle A, the letter b to denote the side opposite angle B, and the letter c to denote the side opposite angle C. Since the sum of the angles in a triangle equals 180°, and angle C is 90°, that means angles A and B add up to 90°, that is, they are complementary angles. Therefore the cosine of B equals the sine of A. We saw on the last page that sin A was the opposite side over the hypotenuse, that is, a/c. Hence, cos B equals a/c. In other words, the cosine of an angle in a right triangle equals the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse:
cos = adjhyp
Also, cos A = sin B = b/c.
The Pythagorean identity for sines and cosines
Recall the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles. It says that
a2 + b2 = c2
where c is the hypotenuse. This translates very easily into a Pythagorean identity for sines and cosines. Divide both sides by c2 and you get
a2/c2 + b2/c2 = 1.
But a2/c2 = (sin A)2, and b2/c2 = (cos A)2. In order to reduce the number of parentheses that have to be written, it is a convention that the notation sin2 A is an abbreviation for (sin A)2, and similarly for powers of the other trig functions. Thus, we have proven that
sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
when A is an acute angle. We haven't yet seen what sines and cosines of other angles should be, but when we do, we'll have for any angle t one of most important trigonometric identities, the Pythagorean identity for sines and cosines:
sin2 t + cos2 t = 1.
Sines and cosines for special common angles
We can easily compute the sines and cosines for certain common angles. Consider first the 45° angle. It is found in an isosceles right triangle, that is, a 45°-45°-90° triangle. In any right triangle c2 = a2 + b2, but in this one a = b, so c2 = 2a2. Hence c = asqrt2. Therefore, both the sine and cosine of 45° equal 1/sqrt2 which may also be written sqrt2 / 2.
45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles
Next consider 30° and 60° angles. In a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, the ratios of the sides are 1 : sqrt3 : 2. It follows that sin 30° = cos 60° = 1/2, and sin 60° = cos 30° = sqrt3 / 2.

A bubo (Greek boubôn, "groin") (plural form= buboes) is a swelling of the lymph nodes, found in an infection such as bubonic plague, gonorrhea, tuberculosis or syphilis.
ReplyDeleteAccording to historical records they were also characteristic of the pandemic responsible for the Black Death and perhaps other ancient pandemics. It usually appears under the armpit, in the groin or on the neck. Many doctors believed that bursting them was the answer, although in the view of modern medicine this treatment is useless or in fact harmful. There are reports of people using hen feathers in order to burst lymph nodes. When lymph nodes are burst, the puncture site can leave a patient at higher risk for dangerous infection.
Buboes rarely require any form of local care, but instead recede with systemic antibiotic therapy. In fact, for plague patients, incision and drainage poses a risk to others in contact with the patient due to aerosolization of the bubo contents. Needle aspiration can be done for diagnostic purposes and may also provide symptomatic relief.
Thanks Special. :-) I meant to search for that on my lunch break but got caught up reading all the political blogs and forgot to look.

ReplyDeleteFleas pass through a complete life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The clear-to-white eggs can be seen without magnification. Eggs are laid on pets or other warm blooded hosts but may be found wherever they fall off a flea infested pet. It takes from one to 12 days for the eggs to hatch.
ReplyDeleteThe emerging eyeless, legless, whitish, maggot-like larvae seek protected areas in floor cracks, carpets, or in pets’ beds, where they feed on organic material such as food, animal waste and adult flea fecal material. The larvae molt three times and mature in seven to 15 days. Unfavorable conditions such as dryness may extend the larval stage to over six months. The larvae often hide in moist sand and pet runways.
Flea larva
Flea Larva
The mature larvae enter the pupal stage after spinning silken cocoons from their saliva mixed with other debris. In about seven days, the adult fleas are ready to emerge from their cocoons. Sometimes they rest in the cocoons until a noise or vibration indicates the presence of an animal or human. This is why severe flea problems are often noted after returning from several weeks of vacation, when the fleas are primed for their first blood meal.
The female fleas (1/8") are a bit larger than the males. Their narrow bodies, with bristles pointed backwards and long, spiny legs, can move forward quickly through fur, hair, feathers, and some loosely woven fabrics. Their hind legs are adapted for jumping. Sucking mouthparts are used to obtain blood from the host, which could be a cat, dog, bird, human, or other warm blooded animal.
It takes 27 to 40 days for the cat flea to complete one life cycle, one generation. A female flea must have a blood meal before she lays eggs, even though she has mated. A hot, dry summer reduces the number of fleas, whereas humid, rainy weather favors their increase. Environmental conditions greatly affect the length of flea’s life. too. Under hot and dry conditions, an adult flea may live from two to five days without a blood meal. Under more favorable conditions and with adequate blood meals, it may survive from one month to a year. The average life of an adult flea without a blood meal is two months. In Maine, all fleas probably overwinter outside in the larval stage. Fleas on animals, in homes, or in favorable temperatures can therefore be a continuous problem.
Pets and other animals are usually blamed for carrying fleas, and perhaps correctly so. But rats and mice can also be sources of fleas or causes of continuing infestation. However, fleas can survive in homes where there are only humans. It is a fact that some humans are resistant to or immune to flea bites. That is, they can live with the fleas and not be aware that pests are present. But most people are very sensitive to flea bites. Flea bites are most likely to be found on the legs of people in flea infested areas. The bites have a red halo around a small red spot, and they may swell. Several over-the-counter medications may give some relief for flea bites.
Management
Recently, there have been comments about fleas becoming resistant to some of the insecticides used to control them. This may be true to some extent, but in heavy infestations, it is more likely that something is being omitted in their control. It could be that an insecticide is not being used correctly, the life cycle is not being considered, or another source has escaped notice. When an infestation seems uncontrollable in the summer, there is usually sandy soil or a gravel driveway around the home.
Sand and gravel are most suitable environments for larvae, and this is why fleas are sometimes erroneously called "sand fleas". Spraying the lawn or driveway 20 feet beyond the area frequented by people or pets is necessary. One application of carbaryl (Sevin), sprayed as if applied to garden plants, will prevent fleas from being carried into the home. Other insecticides registered for controlling fleas outside are malathion and rotenone.
Pets must be treated with an insecticide from the pet shop or a veterinarian. Use and repeat these treatments as directed. Whatever product your local pet supply store or vet has should work. However, carbaryl (Sevin dust), resmethrin, malathion, pyrethrins, rotenone, and flea collars are typically used. When selecting an insecticide, remember that a cat is likely to lick itself. Follow directions.
In the home, you may use your vacuum cleaner to help remove fleas. But, after vacuuming, to avoid spreading the pests, seal the vacuum cleaner bag in a plastic bag before disposing. For light flea infestations mist areas where fleas are likely to be found. Pyrethrins can be used, but they will primarily kill only the fleas that are actually sprayed. They have little residual effect. Preferred insecticides are pyrethroids such as: resmethrin, allethrin, tetramethrin, etc., as well as malathion (Cythion), propoxur (Baygon), dichlorvos (Vapona-DDVP), and rotenone. All of these have some residual effect. Less toxic options include methoprene, insecticidal soap, d-limonene and silica gel plus pyrethrins.
For heavy flea infestations, use a vacuum to remove lint or dust from cracks or folds where the fleas could hide. Cushions from stuffed chairs should be removed. Scatter rugs must be taken up off the floor. Be sure the pet’s bed is thoroughly exposed to the fumes or spray. Spacing clothes in the closets may also help. You are now ready to use any of the available one-time-release aerosol bombs. The insecticide will give good penetration and control. Do not enter a treated home for at least four hours to give the insecticide a chance to work. Follow directions. This treatment will also kill many other insects in the home such as carpet beetles, clothes moths, bed bugs. etc.
This treatment may not kill insects in the egg or pupal stage, nor inside deep cracks where the insecticide mist cannot reach. One of the insecticides listed above (such as resmethrin) available in aerosol spray should be used as a followup to control fleas missed by the one-time-release bomb. An additional treatment 10 to 12 days after the first treatment should kill new larvae and prevent newly emerged females from laying eggs.

ReplyDeleteJust exercising my free speech to say "shut up" ;), but point taken, SpecialK. Nevertheless, Puma/Lemon, the sentiment is there.
ReplyDeleteI see London, I see France, I see Reese's underpants!
ReplyDeleteDaff please don't think that wasn't directed at you.
ReplyDeleteThere's stuff here that I agree with and some stuff I don't, and this is speaking just for myself, I've learn a lot about myself from reading and reacting to what people bring to the table.
I love the Jackson 5. Does anyone else remember their cartoon show?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Wicked I had a Jackson 5 t-shirt my brothers got somewhere and didn't want I wore as a nightshirt back Michael was rocking the Big 'Fro.
ReplyDeleteABC, Want You Back, Rockin' Robin, Who's Loving You
yes, special, if you ask me at least, i think Ted means Toothy has another baby coming.
ReplyDeleteJoker, have you been in Bergen before? I`ve never been, but my husband has his grandmother and aunts and uncles there. He`s been there several times and says it`s very beutiful there. Have a very nice holiday, Joker(but remember, it`s very expencive) For us a holiday in Norway is less prioritated because our money last longer outside, at usual!
Joker, so fun to read by the way, you`re partly from my country. This one far, far away. Enjoy you`re holiday!!!:):):)
ReplyDeleteI loved the Jackson 5, and their early stuff is some of the pop music ever made. Sad to think about what happened to Michael, whose birthday it is today.
ReplyDeleteLove your new avatar Special. Now I wonder what inspired this one.....:-D
Speaking of which, last time I looked at Ted's post from earlier this week he was up to 75 comments, which is more than I think he probably gets in a week, although the new format does encourage more comments. And freak out is a good of describing the reaction.
And another baby coming? Wow, I'm going to have to think about that interpretation, although it might be another explanation for why he's talking about Baby Tile now.

ReplyDeleteI have had this picture for a long long time. I just waited for a while to use it.
ReplyDeleteSuch the good guess, babes, so right in so many brunet directions, alas, it's the wrong two-timing type
ReplyDeleteimo ted is saying most of the people have brown hair [be, jen, jake, austin, maybe surogate].
the wrong two-timing type; TYPE means the way ben/jake lead a double lifes: ben isn't seen in public with the women he has sex with, he doesn't advertise it but ttile wants people to think he's having sex with who he's seen with in public.
also ben shows off his real family. jake/tt shows off a fake family (r's kids)

ReplyDeleteStop it, hearts. Those comments are totally uncalled for.
ReplyDeleteClarity I did read your post earlier and felt bad you were upset. I sure hope you do stick around. There are lots of ups and downs in this neighbor. I think
ReplyDeleteWFT2 and OMG have much in common. Most of the static you hear is not really coming from fans of either site.
I have no clue what Ted meant by his letter tonight. I only hope we hear more.
"I loved the Jackson 5, and their early stuff is some of the pop music ever made. Sad to think about what happened to Michael, whose birthday it is today."
ReplyDeleteYes very sad. I still adore him though, despite everything.
