Regarding a bigger shell structure. This system was designed by Billy Woods of Dynadomes. [image: YlSr_yucca_dome_now_sm.jpg] I filmed the building of this structure in 1970. And it still stands. [image: JAvA_dome.jpg] I think it also appeared in Stewart Brand's book "How Buildings Learn." I sent you an SKP of the connector system.

Something tells me a gigaparsec would be too far from the origin

thank you Dale Yesterday night at Vitry-sur-Seine, theatre jean villar (popular suburbs of Paris South-East) URSUS MINOR http://liveweb.arte.tv/fr/video/Ursus_Minor_rend_hommage_a_Howard_Zinn_au_festival_Sons_d_Hiver/ [image: UrsusMinor.jpg] *s

I think the bigger conundrum to those rooms is how does one get in?

That chart scares the crap out of me as I am well past the center of the time line and it looks like death is the only event left.

Not familiar with Solyndra but will check out. I think quality products which are often expensive should be financed over a longer than normal period. All these products would need incorporated, is the possibility to upgrade some parts that may become obsolete. Most cars these days are financed over 3 to 4 years. That's okay for cars that fall apart but again most cars these days are capable of lasting for 10 years if maintained properly. I remember the rust buckets of 40 years ago. Fiats and some Japanese cars would rust as you watched whereas Mercs and the like were lasters. Mmmmm, a bit like Macs and Dells ..... I probably will regret saying that but what the heck

I know. Excellent work. However, here's the nvidia's real time human skin demo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2f1ktWzOtE

I have no reason to believe anyone has cheated. Based on work displayed in the gallery (automobiles, organic models, etc.) there are some very adept SUers here, who blow me away. I tip my hat to you masters.

OK, we don't know much about these cases. Let's have a look at the photos then. Mr Kim looks more criminal person than the other two guys (in fact, they don't look criminals at all) .

And place a speaker on it hooked up to a headset microphone and yell at people as you fly over.

Hi Peter, You can use this page: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/submitos.html at Mozilla. It provides a web-based form for setting up search plugin frameworks. It's mostly a "fill in the blanks" form, with the trickiest part being the search URL and suggestions URL fields. You'll need to do some experimentation with those because each site is somewhat unique in how it's searched. Be aware as well, the site you want to search may have restrictions. You'll have check it out ... You might find this site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox useful for understanding the plugin structure. Once your plugin is debugged, you can add it to the Mycroft database. A good thing to do because if you decide to modify it in the future, maybe a URL changes for instance, you can reload it and just make the appropriate changes. I'll be out for the week with no internet access, leaving this afternoon. If you run into trouble, please PM me or post here and I'll get back to you as soon as I get home. Cheers!

@mitcorb said: Dale, would that be a Fender Coronado in that picture? Never played one, but drooled over them back in the day. You nailed it. Discontinued in the early 70's. Typical Fender headstock. All other semi hollow bodies of the day had that blocky Gibson like headstock. After John Lennon used his Epiphone Casino to record the White Album and Let it Be, semi hollows were all the rage, and it is said this was Fenders entry into that market.

'TomDC', I'm sorry for your affliction! It is well known that many artists die young ! Counting me among them, I put in advance my soul to a ‘secure shelter’… The Death tried to pick me up in evident and multiple times, but I was saved miraculously…

Especially CHILDREN, they recognize not only the FACE of someone, but also the ‘state of the SOUL’ and ‘state of the SPIRIT’ of a person...! For example, a bad man smiles almost in vain to a child, because a baby can not be easy tricked.

Thanks TIG, I'll give it a whirl... I wasn't thinking about creating it in SU particularly Alan but that's a good idea! Cheers,

@krisidious said: it's an Australian Snowy Gum... I believe. Indeed it is! And they are stunning by themselves or on mass! We have another very funky one - Red Gum (which isn't actually a gum at all), they grow in the funkiest of places and the funkiest of shapes. I've been trying to get a friend to do a photographic book of some of the weird ones I've found on sides of cliffs and other weird places. One of which is on a wind blown headland where nothing escapes the general canopy, the tree to keep growing has gone up to the canopy, then back to the ground, then back to the canopy and again!! The wierdest thing though was to see a gummy that has grown just lighly touching an overhang with a hanging swamp above. The touching tree has provided a capilliary escape for some of the neutriant rich water and over the years the trunk has become coated in an inch think layer of flow stone for about 3/4 of it's girth!! The most amazing and incomprehendable thing I've ever seen! Nature and time are an amazing mix!
