James Burke : Connections, Episode 6, “Thunder in the Skies”, 4 of 5 (CC)

Episode 6 of James Burke’s most well-known series “Connections” which explores the surprising and unexpected ways that our modern technological world came into existence. Each episode investigates the background of usually one particular modern invention and how it came into being. These explorations are an attempt to locate the “connections” between various historical figures who seemingly had nothing to do with each other in their own times, however once connected, these same figures combined to produce some of the most profound impacts on our modern day world; in a “1+1=3″ type of way.

It is this type of investigation that is the core idea behind the Knowledge Web project, whereby sophisticated software is being developed to attempt to discover these subtle interconnections automatically. See http://k-web.org.

P.S. Sorry about audio quality here. I will repair that when I have time.

Resonant Stirling

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Resonant tube with a first try to catch the frequency on a scope.
I put a second “fixed” channel at 500 hz to keep the monitoring easy.
The next video will show that you can have to prime the device to make it work. I still do not have the key to make it start: when you have reached the right position you can “hear” it even if it still doesn’t sing: just snap your finger, gently touch the tube or whistle and then it cranks.. strange enough…
One tube, same size, was “powerful” enough to blow a candle 1/2 inch from the tube mouth.
Tube resonnant avec acquisition approchée de la fréquence.
La seconde video est just là pour montrer le comportement quand on s’approche de l’accord
On perçoit alors nettement une perception de “vide” : taper, gratter ou claquer des doigts suffit alors
à lancer la résonnance.

Joopqase – Mullein Leaves

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Check out THE MENU here

Mullein has been used as an alternative medicine for centuries, and in many countries throughout the world, the value of Great Mullein as a proven medicinal herb is now backed by scientific evidence. Some valuable constituents contained in Mullein are Coumarin and Hesperidin, they exhibit many healing abilities. Research indicates some of the uses as analgesic, antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, bacteristat, cardio-depressant, estrogenic, fungicide, hypnotic, sedative and pesticide are valid.
An infusion is taken internally in the treatment of a wide range of chest complaints and also to treat diarrhea and bleeding of the lungs and bowels. The leaves, root, and the flowers are anodyne, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent, demulcent, diuretic, emollient, expectorant, nervine, and vulnerary.

Folklore
An old superstition existed that witches used lamps and candles provided with wicks of Mullein in their incantations, and another of the plant’s many names, ‘Hag’s Taper’, refers to this. Both in Europe and Asia the power of driving away evil spirits was ascribed to the Mullein. Being a sure safeguard against evil spirits and magic, and from the ancient classics, it was this plant which Ulysses took to protect himself against the wiles of Circe.

The whole plant possess slightly sedative and narcotic properties. The seeds are considered toxic. They have been historically used as a narcotic and also contain saponins.

The dried leaves are sometimes smoked to relieve the irritation of the respiratory mucus membranes, and the hacking cough of consumption. They can be employed with equal benefit when made into cigarettes, for asthma and spasmodic coughs in general. Externally, a medicinal poultice of the leaves is applied to sunburn, ulcers, tumors and piles.

B.1802 Iron Block

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Join us and Michael McCarthy of Mohawk Valley Forge as we create the unique B.1802 Iron Block.

Using ore mined by Michael’s own hand, we created a multi-use candleholder/vase that’s as beautiful as it is simple. Our B.1802 Iron Block comes in two sizes – 7lbs & 14lbs – each deceptively compact for their heft.

Each B.1802 block has one hole that can be used for either a taper, a tealight, or bud vase, and is even heavy enough to hold a floor to ceiling flowering branch without fear of toppling.

*The B.1802 Rural Artists Collective creates modern implements using traditional craftsmanship and production methods. Each product is hand-made. Learn more at Beekman 1802.com.*

Juliette

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

I Am Not Yours

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

This is a beautiful song that Brittany performed with the Florida State University Summer Program Choir. The song, I Am Not Yours, is from a poem penned by Sarah Teasdale. This performance was from the Summer of 2006.

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love – put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Blessing spell

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Get a white candle — either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless.

Carve the person’s full name on the candle, then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil. For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet
of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer.

Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings.

As you light it each day, say this:

[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way
May the Goddess and the God be with you and guide your way

If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day — or once a week, on Sundays — for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the “well” or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.
