There are those who would mis-teach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency and a vice.
Monday, April 18, Education. As I grow older, part of my emotional survival plan must be to actively seek inspiration instead of passively waiting for it to find me. Copage, 17 September Learning is forever in my control. The decision is personal and perhaps must be made each day anew.
The choice is mine. There is always room for knowledge, for each of us harbors ignorance of some sort which knowledge could displace. Always be at peace with the words, "I do not know. Labels: Bluegrass , Knowledge , Magee. Saturday, April 16, Negativity. Unhappiness or negativity is a disease on our planet.
Copage, 5 April A person can freely choose to become so dependent on drugs or alcohol, so bound to a certain habit that he can no longer freely choose whether to give it up or not. Friday, April 15, Monuments. Simply wishing it does not make it so. The Upper Room Disciplines - , 27 March. Thursday, April 14, In My Opinion. If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Wednesday, April 13, Truth and Lies. The bold take action in words as well as deeds. They say what others think, disrupting, disturbing, not out of harm or by intention but by simply telling the truth. Mike Magee M. William Barclay, The Letters to Timothy, p.

We may find out from experience sooner than we can come to amicable agreement, given the conflicting theories and computer models. The actual dynamics may include aspects of both, or new insights not yet fully developed.
The sun reverses its magnetic field like clockwork every eleven years at the peak of the sunspot cycle. The next solar flip is due in As the oppositely-directed charge accumulates at the poles the field declines, until eventually the reverse charge predominates. Scientists point out that the heliosphere does not wink out of existence during this reversal. Though the solar magnetic reversal is not completely understood, the Ulysses space probe has sent back detailed data which has supplied answers to many questions.
The mechanism that controls earth's field reversals may not be based on similar principles. For one thing, a planet does not seem to have any equivalent to the powerful sunspots. If earth magnetic anomalies become more frequent or are concentrated in certain areas, we could see disruption of existing electrical grids, even without the dramatic atmosphere expansion and radiation damaging to life and computers. PES Network Inc. A community-editable directory page at PESWiki. If you are able to access equipment to determine field strength as well, this additional data would be of interest too.
This data may be useful in helping inventors and researchers test the tolerance of Zero-point technologies, magnetic motors and other new generation systems in adverse situations.
As we may have to live through ongoing magnetic disturbance for a long time, we will need to know whether the new systems will be robust under conditions of planetary pole reversal. Ordinary citizens do not usually have access to instrumentation that would allow them to examine the deeper layers of the planet, nor the high atmosphere, nor the magnetospheres in space. However, if many people collect observations on magnetic field direction from different locations across the continent of North America, and indeed around the world, this data may become relevant in more ways than feeding "end-time" theorizing.
The subject is complex, and whichever scenario may be about to occur, some individuals have been taking note of unusually large fluctuations in the apparent position of the magnetic north pole. Using a large, stationary, home-built compass, one individual in western Canada noticed a ten-degree variation within a few days.
This was so unusual that, concerned about a sudden pole shift, he described and published his observations, and asked for input.
No one else was seeing this rapid "pole shift". On borrowing a very sensitive water-filled portable compass and quartering the area, he discovered that this was indeed a highly localized anomaly in which his domicile happened to be situated dead center. See his recorded readings at the link below. He is now theorizing that the phenomenon may be a vortex related to the nearby extinct volcano Mount Ida. Vortices have been known to occur in volcanic mountain areas, and in the past some have become tourist attractions.
Individual observations are of value, but need to be balanced by additional data from a much wider geographical area. Thus alarms about sudden general "pole shift" may be put to rest, and anomalies studied for what they are. Ted Twietmeyer is one of those calling for volunteers to join in a non-profit effort to track the magnetic pole shift -- or apparent pole shift. Summaries and links to this data would be appropriate for the above-mentioned PESWiki directory.
There are a lot of visualizations out there but there is one that has them beat-- Annabelle The Sheep that comes with Real Player Annabelle the Sheep is a stick figure sheep with a pink bow around her neck, standing on grass, next to a fence, with a blue sky in the background.
Her legs will move in various ways depending on the intensity and tempo of the sound, and sometimes her head will bob up and down. It's very cheezy, kind of like something that would have taken the entire capacity of a Commodore 64 to draw. But it gets better. Other things start happening if you look long enough. So far, I've seen birds fly by in the background, the moon rise from the horizon, Annabelle's eyes alternately bulge out to the music like, say, Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and the oddest thing, a disco ball come down from the top of the screen and flash little lights all over the animation.
I found an Easter Egg in Annabelle: Click on her and you can put her in a top hat and more! Believe it or not you can make Annabelle GAY! A DRAG name perhaps?!! With all the psychedelic visualizations out there from the other vendors, this is so incongruous that it's just damn funny. Whadda Ya Think? What users hate most about Web sites. Too many sites are low on usability and high on annoyance.
Users have a short fuse when they are browsing the Web, according to Theresa Cunnington, senior usability consultant with services firm iFocus.
Head of Comunet's Web site design, Damien Coyle believes design is crucial for an effective Web site. Invasive advertising: Cunnington says users widely despise ads that cover content, ads that flash wildly and ads that chew broadband. Re-inventing the wheel: people do not want to have to learn how to use a site before they can browse it, Cunnington said. Attention-deficit Web sites: "Users have a special hatred of flashing icons and banners, because they draw the eye away from what is important and hinder their progress," Cunnington said.
War and Peace length: "A common mistake in Web design is to just [convert] a brochure to the Web. But the Web is its own medium, and communication has to change to reach users. Users are known to read 25 percent slower on the screen than on paper, read fewer words and don't like long pages which require scrolling down," she said.
Another problem is site blindness. This occurs because the right hand column has become known for advertising," Cunnington said. Marzipan Babies. Can you believe this icing? Thought you'd be as fascinated with these as I. These are made with marzipan While some of the faces may look "crafted" rather than "real", every detail is amazing, and the rest looks VERY real.
Dan Hicks, known by many as Sailor Dan, sits at a booth in the back corner of a McDonald's, where he comes almost every day. This is about half of my collection, too. Front - Headhunter V1. Not a chance that I'm gonna post my full playlist.

If I try and drop the entire contents of my music folder into WinAmp it'll crash. Maybe if I do it piecemeal it'd work. I might give it a shot, but we're talking about over 5, Mp3's here. Ceaser might get pissed. Dre - Forget About Dre. In The USA. What kind of stuff would you have to ammount to 20 gigs?
I can't understand people who download humor sounds and then put them into their music playlists It's horendously ugly. I'm ranting I'll think I'll go kick some small mammals.
