Take your pick, folks.

JohnB, hoist 'em, babe!! How does she sail? iNow, I am not being paid for your therapy.

iNow, tell us of your corporate investments involving trade with China.

Yuck. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergediNow, you did not care much about the protests in Tibet last year. I do not care to tell you much of the papers coming out of Western China, like Tonghua, Jilin. My colleague solidspin is turning handsprings with these.

AWRIIGHT, A BRAWL, this is fun. Bascule, good to hear from you! Who the hell are "we all"? I don't know as I care to meet them. JohnB, I have firewood yearround. Let me know!¡!¡!¡! iNow, No, I think you are deluded. "MUMMING", cool you teach me a word. I am a piano player, not easily transportable, but I'll sing harmony!!! You help restore my sense of insanity, npts2020.

FROM GEOGRAPHIC: ''Germanic peoples of Northern Europe honored the winter solstice with Yule festivals—the origin of the still-standing tradition of the long-burning Yule log. The Roman feast of Saturnalia, honoring the God Saturn, was a weeklong December feast that included the observance of the winter solstice. Romans also celebrated the lengthening of days following the solstice by paying homage to Mithra—an ancient Persian god of light. Many modern pagans attempt to observe the winter solstice in the traditional manner of the ancients. "There is a resurgent interest in more traditional religious groups that is often driven by ecological motives," said Harry Yeide, a professor of religion at George Washington University. "These people do celebrate the solstice itself." Pagans aren't alone in commemorating the winter solstice in modern times.'' YES, PHI, WE DO CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE ITSELF. EARTH; AIR; FIRE; WATER; LOGOS. . . . please pass the pierogies.

Those disposed to depressed thoughts will find the mornings still getting light later for about two weeks after Monday the 21st. If you really want to pull the plug now is your chance. ON THE OTHER HAND, the afternoons hit their earliest sunset two weeks ago! Take heart...indeed the shortest day is Monday or Tuesday. In the words of my oh brother Steve: "Yes, and we might recall the obliquity effect contributes too and I think this was more than the eccentricity effect." Time for wassailing. Are you oblique???¿¿¿ Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedWhy Phi, I do believe we are represented in the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.

My dictionary says these are people who do not recognize the God of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Me, I'm a born-again Pagan. My old neighbor Dick Troon whose garage sign says, "parking for Druids only", greets Jehovah's witnesses mildly and then says simply, "Your people killed my people."

I bet Bascule will not be there. He disdains red meat of any kind. [bIGTEETH]

Thanks for the well-integrated invitation, Phi. . . .

HONOR THE SOLSTICE. Do not let your religion disintegrate your understanding.

Thanks to my brother Steve Albers for supplying my cache at his office in NOAA at Boulder, Colorado. Polarizability. Google Steve on global warming and climate.

Hopefully my brother will change the file name to "Gravitation and Vacuum Polarizability". The change in the last word is important. Neutral field phenomena have no net polarization like electric and magnetic effects do. Yet they depend upon the polarizability of the vacuum.

I have written a short introduction to show what I am looking at in my paper on Gravitation and Vacuum Polarizability. As below, laps.noaa.gov/albers/physics/na Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedThis should be posted by late Monday, tomorrow.

May we live not so long and die out.

I know that all such details get washed into a very few total quantities characterizing a gravitational collapse: mass, charge, angular momentum. The latter covers your particle spins and also the body dynamic rotations. Even though as a kid I "wanted to be a nuclear physicist", I don't yet know any condensed matter physics. I'm sure that there, spin combinations of hadrons are discussed. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedI can no longer be part of this forum.

After a week feeling outfoxed I am starting to psyche out the nature of this system. It seems you have to go to fourth order to solve things and this is messy and consumes much paper. My better approach is to start with an intelligent guess as to one of the components <A,B,C>. We suspect maybe C can be S-1 as in the Eddington metric itself. One of the three equations is quadratic in <A,C>, and the other in <B,C>. It would seem we have two possible choices of signs in the quadratic solutions, but one is relieved by the determinant constraint: [math]AB-C^2=1[/math], so that there is only one A for each possible B. . Entertainingly if I enter with a guess of C=0 then both A,B become imaginary. D H, thanks! Now I hear you truly. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedI can no longer be part of this forum.

I will try to bring my offerings into focus, but much is being accomplished in the Mathematics section, linear algebra, where I am trying to develop a first-order substructure encompassing polarizability: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?p=489673#post489673 Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedI can no longer be part of this forum.

I lived in the same woods on the edge of a field on the edge of a creek on the edge of the mountains for 34 years. My best friends usually have fur or feathers. I will not accept these insults to any of us.

What do you think of the red fox whom I got to know over the first year of its life?

If you are denying my truth I curse you. It is one thing too insult my person. It is quite further to insult my animal cohorts. I truly find your attitudes blighted. This makes me swing the sword and I will not stop until these attitudes are silenced.

A red fox came and yipped at me for almost two minutes. What do you think of this?

This was not so. You should be relieved of your post. Until you apologize for your insults, you have not the biologic integrity of turds on the forest floor.

I have had deep conflict with Mokele who refuses to honor my sound communications with several other species. I hearby report my terror over many past years of sleeping on a mattress on a wood floor, one hundred miles from the southern Oregon coast, upon occasioanally waking up to grinding sounds. I have moved into a new house twenty miles away. At the end of February one night I awakened to the grinding of one two-second pulse, followed by another which slightly lurched my body east and west and ended with a creak from the house settling, a one-two-three. OK I am drinking a little too much, though waking up happy. I emailed my classmate Scott who's an M.D. in Colorado, as well as my brother. I said if this is clear sign I am cracking up, fine, tell me so. Scott said he could not tell for sure but he knew the racket of a bear tearing up his garbage stash. A few weeks later scalbers sent me a map from the US Geodetic Survey of shake zones from recent Northwest quake events. Damn, there was indeed a quake at the end of Feb. whose shake zone included me! It's nice to know I can trust my nightmares. My house was built in 2003 and had no sheetrock cracks at all when I moved in. I just fixed the one in the living room, and shall proceed to repair the one in the garage ceiling.
