hello

BadNick 02-19-2011 11:29 AM

why? did you loose your tutu?

carrot glace 02-19-2011 12:46 PM

maybe, did I need one? I can not remember ever owning one, but I think I could get one if it was needed.

BadNick 02-19-2011 01:52 PM

OBSERVING BLOG by Tony Flanders

See Venus in Broad Daylight!

If it's clear at dawn on Monday and Tuesday, February 28th and March 1st, you can see one of nature's loveliest sights — Venus near the thin crescent Moon.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...e/image001.jpg

Look southeast before sunrise to spot the waning Moon and Venus. These scenes are drawn for the middle of North America. European observers: move each Moon symbol a quarter of the way toward the one for the previous date. For clarity, the Moon is shown three times actual size.

Thoughtful readers looking at the chart at right might have two questions. First, if the Moon is above Venus on Monday and below it on Tuesday, it must be very near it some time in between. When will this close approach happen, and where will it be visible?

Second, just how long into dawn will you be able to see this scene? The Moon is often visible during broad daylight. Is that true of Venus, too?

Let's answer the second question first. Yes, Venus is indeed visible to the unaided eye during broad daylight, assuming that the air is reasonably free of haze. In fact, it's startlingly easy to see — but equally hard to find. It's just a tiny pinprick of light amid the vast sea of blue sky. Even after you succeed in finding Venus, it's very easy to lose sight of it if you glance away for a moment.

For this reason, by far your easiest chance to observe Venus during the day is when it happens to be near the Moon — a much easier object to find. And that will happen twice for observers in the Americas: on Monday and again on Tuesday.

There's one way to be absolutely sure of observing Venus after the Sun has risen, but it requires a lot of time and patience. Go out a half hour before sunrise, when Venus is blindingly obvious, and track its position until the Sun rises, and even after. The way to do this is to periodically look down from Venus to the horizon, and see what landmark lies directly below it. Then it's relatively easy to relocate Venus by scanning upward from that landmark.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...e/image002.jpg

In these daylight scenes, the Moon is shown its actual apparent size relative to the distance between it and Venus. Venus is shown bright here for clarity, but appears much fainter against the bright daytime sky. Binoculars are not necessary to see either the Moon or Venus, but they're extremely helpful.

If you don't want to hang around outside for 45 minutes on a chilly late-winter morning, your second-best bet is to look when the Moon and Venus are due south and at their highest, which happens around 9 a.m. these mornings. Bring binoculars, because even the Moon is none too easy to spot during the day when it's a thin crescent.

Once you've located the Moon, use your binoculars to scan carefully to the left on Monday morning, using the February 28th diagram to tell you how far to scan. Most 7× to 10× binoculars actually have a field of view a bit bigger than what's shown, but the outer edge of the field is often a little hard to see.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...e/image003.jpg

In these daylight scenes, the Moon is shown its actual apparent size relative to the distance between it and Venus.

The closest approach between Venus and the Moon takes place when the Moon is below the horizon for the Americas. But it's a fine sight from eastern and central Asia, as shown in the March 1st diagram. By the time the Moon rises in the Americas on Tuesday morning, it's already well to the left of Venus. This is a second opportunity to spot Venus during daylight hours, but it's a bit tougher than on Monday because the Moon's phase has shrunk from roughly 15% to 10%, making it significantly harder to spot in the blue day sky.

It seems you REALLY might like that "Stars & Space" topic to be a virtual reality, soon rather than later, eh, BadNick?

I don't know where I'm going, doing, or even trying to accomplish these past few weeks. I've been so tangled and tired and taxed. Hm.
(I don't even have the latent energy to post thrice a a visit anymore, not even mentioning the fact I have around 20 times the number of "dailies" threads that just linger in my absence.)

If you haven't found the impetus to start the new arcadium for pictures, notes & articles relating to the celestial bodies as of yet, and if you'd truly to contribute to one if it were to exist, I just simply ask: where would the best location be, in your opinion, for its nature, topicality and participation?

We don't have a specifically "science" section so as I consider the various section names we do have, I don't see any where it would fit better than right here. I don't think it would get buried because I'd post in it at least every other day, if not more frequently. If/when you start it, I'll try to make it a point to post in it every day.

Btw, yesterday I tried to download a half gigabyte picture of the moon that was released recently by "...The work of LROC's wide-angle camera, which provides surface context for those incredible narrow-angle shots, has largely gone unheralded … until now. This past week the team released a new mosaic of the Moon's near side taken entirely with wide-angle frames. Acquired during a two-week period in December, the 1,300 black-and-white frames create a full-disk mosaic measuring 24,000 pixels across. Gulp! But my laptop and/or connection hung up so I'll try again later. Here's a link to the source and below is a greatly reduced version of the photo:

Brushing up on word & phrase origins, is therapeutic.

"Q From Ron Vaughn: Where does the expression out of sorts come from? What are sorts in this context? My wife accuses me of this malady and I know what she means, but I don’t know why I know.

A English idioms are often extremely puzzling and their origins are notoriously difficult to track down. So people invent all kinds of yarns to make sense of them.

The most common story about this phrase refers to the printer’s word sorts for the individual metal characters in his boxes of type, so called because they have been arranged, each into its own compartment, with all of one kind together. It would obviously be a substantial inconvenience if a printer were to run out of a sort during composition. The problem with this story is that the figurative expression out of sorts is recorded much earlier than the printers’ term; the first recorded use of it for printers’ type in the big Oxford English Dictionary is from as late as 1784, from Benjamin Franklin: “The founts, too, must be very scanty, or strangely out of sorts”. It would seem he was attaching an already well-known idiom to the printer’s trade, not the other way around.

A second idea is that it has something to do with playing cards. A pack that hasn’t been shuffled is said to be out of sort and not suitable for playing with. The problem with this is that the OED doesn’t give any example of its being used in this connection, which it surely would if the expression had been common.

The Latin original of our word sort was applied to a piece of wood that was used for drawing lots. Later, still in Latin, it developed into the idea of one’s fate, fortune or condition. This was the first meaning of sort in English, in the thirteenth century. It survived until shortly after Shakespeare’s time, until about the point that out of sorts is first found. But sort soon evolved another meaning in English that related to rank, order, or class. It was used to describe people, especially their qualities or standing. There were once phrases such as of sort that implied high quality or rank. Others that we still use today, such as of your own sort, the right sort, or of all sorts, evolved out of the same idea.

It would seem out of sorts developed from this idea of quality (lack of it in this case), perhaps influenced by the other meaning of fate or one’s lot in life, so implying that fortune wasn’t smiling on one, or that all wasn’t well."

Perhaps when you begin a reply with: "Not to be snippy here."
The next poster may well decide, "I'm on the defensive, cuz he's going to get snippy."
When in fact your intentions were exactly the opposite.

But, by mentioning that fact, up front, that your post could be offensive,
that puts the idea, 'offensive' at the forefront of the reader's mind.

I'm just brainstorming here...that's all.

I'm curious to what 'the lying down game' might entail.

I'm recalling quite a few actual GEMS of prior posts in this TLTE!, and the above, is merely just one (+ bonus) example.

To reply: it took almost a year to respond, and although I understood it the first time, but now I've finally got the perfect reply, by re-utilizing a Modern identifying example.

Just from overhearing conversations from my den, I gather that these mods, of which there are many, are frowned upon by some serious players since it's basically cheating by use of some weird hack to the controller or game software. I think my kid has other mods that greatly increase his firing rate and other such useful war capabilities...though I think he's finally realizing that to gain respect of his fellow soldiers, he has to kill everybody within the rules.

Do you ever use a "glitch"? I think that lets you move through the landscape in "unnatural" ways...like getting from here to there without passing through the space between, or you can walk through walls and over roofs that are normally inaccessible...so I'm just learning this from hearing "our recon plane will find them wherever they hide" and other such banter.

I've been wondering for the longest time something of a triviality: did carrot glace go by any other name prior, or was that just an exceptionally-well-timed tangential discussion with a now-defunct newbie who seemed to have an affinity for the cookie monster, and ultimately, led to carrot glace adopting his current, very awesome avatar (of which I helped him shift to... now I'm wondering where exactly this discussion/thread/tet-a-tet took place...) Last wonder I'm pondering: what is a 'glace'?

BadNick:
I originally meant for this random-pertaining-to-you post, but fated-to-be-reply by me, to be as an additional commentary on "game hacks". I don't condone the use of them, as one of the main reasons I embark on a game is to experience it, learn from it, and then, if there's time, finish it (and gain fuzzy internal rewards by beating it).

However, there are some kind of very cool game mods that serve little to no purpose other than to provide some odd, glaced entertainment (I most assuredly mayhaps used the word wrong). Take for example: Geddan.

Since I'm feeling uninspired at this moment I thought I'd just do a google image search on this post number, 24467, and see what comes up.

Well it didn't inspire me, but here's a few random pics that were at the top of the search results:

It was tangerine,
I reckon, with no leisure
in the suit I whored.

Inspiration has its way
with you without your willing breathing
if your diaphragm's working.

BadNick 03-01-2011 05:30 PM

That reminds me of when my buddy Ziggy showed up on the corner wearing his new red silk Easter suit.

I was nervous that it would disappear, but thankfully it doesn't. It can symbolize the cyclical expansion and collapse of our known universe if you believe that is what happens...as if anybody knows...well, I mean other than the Shadow.

I'm thinking this should either be the first or second post in the still-not-as-of-yet actually created topic of participation: STARS & Space.

BadNick 03-02-2011 07:27 PM

We'd possibly get broader participation in STARS & Space by encouraging discussion of whatever object, comment, or question someone might have. I would try to post an intersting "image of the day" with a comment about it.

Jetée 03-02-2011 07:35 PM

To allow myself to talk about it: I've also been thinking about starting an NFL: Knowledge & Trivia sort-of-disccussion for some time now. (One of the only reasons I haven't started it yet is that it never seems to be the right time to start it. Plus: you know about my perfectionist's nature in compiling a nice OP.)

I'd post interesting bits about the NFL through the ages, and then, I'd also ask questions to which I think others more knowledgable than me would hvae a fit answer for... the give & take aspect becomes greater than just knowing whatever you happen to come across by your own methods.

I've been googling the Voyager space craft.

Did you know that V1 is 17.4 billion kilometers (10.8 billion miles) from the sun. (wonder how accurate that is?)

and its casually speeding along at a mere 17 kilometers per second (38,000 mph)

Lets see that cops catch that!

We need time & space
to think about it, honey.
I need my mommy.

BadNick 03-03-2011 12:10 PM

In a few more days I'm taking my mommy to the Philadelphia Flower Show. One of my dear sisters will join us this year. I'm sure we'll have a very nice day.

^NICE!

One art show in town
put bare breasts on the billboards
& some were defaced.

What's nice again? I seemed to have missed the "irrevelant" last post of the prior page.

Would you be talking about graffiti, an actual sort of storefront gallery showcase, or am I missing the point entirely (traveling riffraff of carnival artists)?

New Moon in Pisces, March 4, 2011
This post was written by Anna on March 4, 2011 |

This New Moon in Pisces occurs at 3:46pm EST (8:46 pm GMT) at 14 degrees. New moons signify a new cycle, new beginnings, and rebirth. This new moon will highlight the Piscean qualities of imagination and enlightenment. Pisces also invites us to dream a little further beyond ourselves, forgiving others who may have wronged us (and perhaps even forgiving ourselves for past hurts or mistakes). Saturn Retrograde in Libra also makes a quincunx to the New Moon, signifying that perhaps you need to make some changes before you can move on to dreaming up what the future holds.

During this Pisces New Moon, Mars, Mercury, Uranus, Chiron, and the sun are also transiting through Pisces, making enlightenment and ethereal qualities especially highlighted. Now is the time to discover your sixth sense or perhaps become more in tune with your already intuitive abilities. As you move forward during this lunar cycle, reflect on the compassion needed to let go of past hurts and move forward with those things that are greater than ourselves.

I wonder when the haiku first found relevance in Modern Western Culture, and then, the living the room? (guess: 1850s ; 1955)

Ourcrazymodern? 03-05-2011 01:43 PM

I've no guess on that:
I don't know why I do it,
but it's part of me.

...Esoteric said haikuosis,
& a serious case, @ that, but doctors'
confirmations vary, on purpose.

(2-(4/4))+8=9...(I copied the math thing, as well.)

Jetée 03-05-2011 02:09 PM

Something about a steam shovel, possibly, made it find relevance amongst youngsters... maybe?

Ourcrazymodern? 03-05-2011 02:17 PM

What lifts & carries,
let be how the youngsters see,
is diff'rent lately.

Cool seriousness!
Lending itself fantasy,
but not demanding.

BadNick 03-06-2011 02:04 PM

I did the ESP test but I didn't see it give my score. I'm sure I was 100% or so.

Ourcrazymodern? 03-06-2011 02:11 PM

I'm sure that it was,
much like all the lovely stuff
that's all around us.

BadNick 03-06-2011 05:40 PM

Our Universe is a puzzle to me, but I'm putting it together one piece at a time. What's the hurry?
