Taking Vampire Hunter as an example, my wife does question my sanity when I tease about the possibility of it being true. I don't actually believe it to be so. But, if I did push the limits, she would question my sanity (and maybe rightly so).

Lessons of truth can be learned from any writing and storytelling is quite an effective method as Jesus used parables quite often. He would often add a twist to a traditional story to turn his listeners on their head. For instance, in the parable of the prodigal son, the father gives up a portion of his land so that the son could have his portion of the inheritance early. Traditionally if a son had behaved that way to his father, at the least he would have been pitched off the property on his head. But Jesus had a different lesson in mind.

Being away all day yesterday, I missed this story:

Nugent-Hopkins named as Calder Trophy candidate (http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=628765)

My vote is for him to win. He produced as much as the other two, in twenty some fewer games played, and for being just a kid, had a major influence on the ice and in the dressing room. He will be (already is) a game changer.

We've now got six inches of soggy snow weighing down the trees and power lines, and have had two brown outs since I got up at 6:30. The best thing that could happen today is the sun coming out. As it is, it is still snowing. Welcome to Alberta in late April.

This is the time of year we get a lot of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, and a giant Low is sitting right over the western states, bringing all that moisture around the top with no mountains to block its way. This hits the colder air coming in from the north, and whammo! Snow up to our shins.

red hair ribbon well defined
Held down with stones and there to show
where those not 'in', to stand behind .
Facebook photos, long ago

The rhythmic sound of swirling twines,
slapping softly on the street
Simple songs of skipping rhymes
Sung in time with jumping feet
Facebook memory, gone-by times.

Mr. James came home from war
One eyed, broken, Teddy bear
Drop kicked though an open door
Returned to loving arms and care
family Facebook, say no more.

I've been in South Lake Tahoe for a few days celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Beautiful relaxing time. Also posted family photos to Facebook and I agree Facebook is perfect for families and friends to keep up with life's events.

I see Deep is taking the slow approach to get to Ten. Kind of like when I play hide-n-seek with the kids. I'm still worried about what he is up to, though.

We did see snow in Tahoe, a very light dusting. Last year they had snow and skiing into July. But this was the last weekend. Weirdness all around.

Then you owe it to yourself to! Look for folk, blues!, jazz and even serious classical arrangements. You'd be amazed what these instruments can be made to do. Experienced 'harp players' have an array of breathing techniques, such as circular breathing and rhythmic breathing so they can both draw out a note or phrase, or pump it to the beat. Try doing that on a harmonium!

What is the precise value of 9.999... ?

[weegillis]

8071

There is no precise value, only a limit, which is never reached, only approached.

A precise value is limited to n digits, which if it is an evaluation, n must not be more than the least number of digits used in the calculation.

For example, 24 x 3600 could be rewritten as 2.4 x 10^1 * 3.600 x 10^3 = 2.4 * 3.600 * 10^4 = 8.640 * 10^4. To match the precision of the coefficients, this must be rounded down to 8.6 X 10^4.

The exception to the above would be if the result was being carried over to another calculation, in which case the value carried over would be 8.64 X 10^4, but the final result must still be reduced to two digits.

[deepsand]

nine point nine five

Actually, it's value is exactly 10.

1) X = 9.999...

2) 10X = 99.999...

3) Subtracting X from 10X = 9X = 90

4) X = 10

Any number with repeating digits is a rational number, the numerator and denominator of which can be determined by using the above technique.

Another example - 0.2857142857142857142857142857... .

Z = 0.2857142857142857142857142857...

1000000Z = 285714.2857142857142857142857142857

999999Z = 285714

GCD of 999999 and 285714 is 142857, so that it reduces to

7Z = 2

Z = 2/7

I do not use numbers deep. I do not sleep with them, I do not dream of them, I do not eat them, and I have no numbers hidden away in drawers. ( I have never grown them in my garden.)

I shall however submit this number 8084 simply because I do understand the concept of number. I understand
WebProWorld Will locate it as minor navigation aid . . I have never owned or even possessed this number, I have merely re-located it out of the nothingness, I can not guarantee it is unused original or virginal.

This number has no inherent value. . . Any value it may acquire must be created inside some body's head or maybe by some computer software. It is quite possible for 8084 to assist in creating a level of value with some intellectual input.

I do fully appreciate that numbers are created by problem solvers as an aid to solving huge (or sometimes minor) problems. The concept creates a clarity when applied to specific tasks. I will however argue forever that numbers created to prove the correctness of other numbers is no more than an intellectual wank.

Sleep has no inherent value. Neither do dreams, nor that which is eaten or hidden away in a drawer.

Are you telling me that the sausage I just ate was not real. . That I could have simply absorbed some numbers?

Are you telling me That the number 8088 has a value before someone assigns a value to it. I consider it to have no inherent value, the same as the word "yutsssdnlo" . . Until at least somebody recognises it, or asigns it a value or a meaning.

I have just given the word "yutsssdnlo" a purpose . (Now it has a value)

You're right about number, @Tubby. There is only one, and it started with us counting on our digits. One, another one, another one, ... until we ran out of digits; ergo, '1111' with a stroke through it. Number defines our whole counting system, and everything else stems from that, be it geometry, algebra, calculus, &c.

[Tubby]

despite my dislike of maths, I remain in awe of the mind that evolved the metric system - I remember in my early working life selling Seven and a third lineal yards of carpet at 1 pound seventeen and threepence per yard.
It was one of the great levelers . . enabling idiots (with the later addition of calculators) to roam the world selling stuff and answering complex questions that they never really understood.

I much prefer to remain mind boggled when somebody talks "trillions".

[weegillis]

It's interesting to note the terminology that has prevailed in language: 1 = unity = unit = reciprocal of self. No multiple of 1 possesses the same properties. All forms of measure relate back to unity.

I recall a discussion with an astronaut, the question related to having a heart attack on an imaginary trip to mars. It was concluded that the safest place to have this sort of problem was the 12th mile. This being the mile that goes past the hospital on the way to the launch ramp.
I liked the attitude of the astronaut when asked if there was a hospital on the twelth mile. He said "I Imagine there would be". (imaginary trip).

weegillis was referring to a song lyric ( a poem) - the "one" refers to a single person (alone) many people find being on there own lonely.
The words "one is the loneliest number" In the song it proclamation that the singer does NOT have an infinite number of partners / companions / lovers.

I do believe that there is not an 'infinite' number of people.

a number has to be assigned a value - You yourself offered up some early electronic parts that had been assigned number. I recall one looked like a harmonica with a turbo charger. .

If that number had an inherent value (harmonica with a turbo charger) - every time a calculation using that number was executed, the results would be a Total balls up resulting in a ' harmonica with a turbo charger. ' embedded into the mathematical result. .

Numbers are a concept.

It is comparable to arguing that Mount Everest is no more than a small bump on the ground. . . Yes. . A stupid blind man that is unable to visually see Mount Everest might argue it does not look big to him (eye of the beholder)
A stupid Blind man might never be satisfied with anything he chooses to be unsatisfied with.

" beauty is bought by judgement of the eye. " William Shakespeare

Meaning; different people have different ideas as to what is beautiful.

It does not mean that a 'Rose' is not a rose . . or that a roses inherent rose-ness can be changed into a daffodil by " the eye of the beholder" . .

Rarely do we find the words "in the eye of the holder" without the reference to 'Beauty'. The phrase records a rather nice observation about what an individual can perceive as beautiful.

Deep - anyone can place the words "To my satisfaction" to argue the authenticity of any Bullshit they care to spout
Anyone can claim that it is sufficient that it satisfies them to deny any number of things regarding numbers.

If the minute hand eclipses the hour hand once an hour, at what times do they occur?

[Tubby]

Thursday ? . . .

[weegillis]

8120

You are partly right, @Tubby. It will eclipse once an hour on Thursday, too.

[mikmik]

8121
Every one hour and 5.085 minutes, and twice on Sundays

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

8122

Perhaps it may not actually eclipse the short hand once per hour, but once every hour?

[weegillis]

8122

It has something to do with related rates of the two hands, as in 'related speed'. Once every hour the two hands meet, but the time is not the same in minutes or seconds from the hour. You are bang on @mikmik in your clarification of 'per' and 'every'. 'Per' implies the same time each hour, whereas 'every' does not. Thanks for the hint.



---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Still working on Thursday. There may be anomalies.

[mikmik]

8123

Upon further reflection, the minute hand never overtakes the hour hand. Let's say it is 1:00 o'clock. The big hand is on the twelve, and the little hand is over the one. Now, the minute big hand travels to the 1, but the hour hand has moved while the minute hand was travelling, and is now beyond the 1. So the minute hand travels to where the hour hand is now, but when it gets there, the hour hand has moved and is further ahead. Then, the minute hand moves to the new position of the hr. hand, but again, it has itself moved further than when the minute hand gets to where it was. Then, the minute hand decides to move to the hr. hand's new position, but when it gets there, the hour hand has moved in the meantime and is no longer where the minute hand now is. Once again, the minute hand moves to where the hour hand now is but when it gets there, again, the hour hand is no where to be found!
This is known as a bad excuse for being late for work because, the boss, being unknowledgeable in advanced philosophy, still operates by common sense and asks why the minute hand didn't just aim a little further ahead every time like a normal clock, but he decided not to fire me if I bought a digital clock. I said sure, and that before you know it, I would be half way to the store.

But still, I think the answer is 1 hr. 5 and 5/12 minutes.

[weegillis]

Setting aside noon and midnight, which eclipses occur on the exact hour, your answer @mikmik might apply to the next instance in the sequence, being at 25 seconds after five past one o'clock. There are still ten other times to account for.

You've heard of the last survivor of the Jonestown flood? He spent his whole life retelling the story like he was bewitched by an albatross, and as there is apparently no sin in this he went to heaven when he died of very old age. St. Peter gave him one request upon entering the Pearly Gates to which he immediately blurted out, "I want to tell everyone in Heaven how I survived the Jonestown flood." Peter, being good to his word assembled all the masses, and being Heaven, everyone could hear perfectly well. He escorted our subject to the podium, and before departing asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" To which was replied, "Well of course!" Peter then added, "You do realize that Noah is in the audience?"

You have both my sympathy and empathy, Roy, as I know full well the shock and sense of disbelief that such sudden and unexpected turn of events can bring.

At age 58, my father was as fit & strong as the proverbial ox.

Up to now, everything we've put in the ground has been killed by frost. We have another puppy who is very active, and to see them (the dogs) run around the yard, don't think anything will survive their power runs. So, sadly, my Russian sunflower seeds are still in the package. it's been a disappointing spring for growing things, this year, at least down in the valley. I was so looking forward to having another crop, even if was just for the birds and bees. Last years plants were destroyed early in the fall, when they were just maturing, and after that we had three weeks of heat wave. Don't know if I could handle the emotion of another loss like that one.
