I was talking about sitting down and reading it like a novel.  I did
that when I got a food processor.

The fact that you can even remember these actions means that they
stuck out as exceptions, I think.

Hi Don. The boxed double volume with the magnifying glass is a great dictionary
but I find it cumbersome to use. I would almost rather have one of the old
multivolume dictionaries, like the Century, which is easier to pull off the
 shelf whenever you want.

Comments: To: mbx <words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

With all the talk about kids having kids, and not being capable
at age 13 to handle having a baby, I've been thinking about the
kids competing (primarily in "women's" events) in the Olympics.
I read an article in the paper today about the Chinese diver who
took a gold - she's 13.  As the writer put it, "it's one of those
sports kidnappings".  She only sees her family twice a year.

Then there are the female gymnasts - the ones who are 19 are noted
as being old, or at the end of their careers.  Most are 15 or 16
(or 14, or 13...).  What does it mean when the *name* sports in
these Olympics are not open to women, but only to girls?  These kids
go through a lot, and I have a lot of respect for them - they work
*hard*! ...but why do we put so much emphasis on sports where that
is true, where girls can excel, but women can't?  Are there any
comparable sports for boys/men? where boys excel, but men are too
old?

Excuses:  The furniture store has recently changed names, there are several
Chevron stations (well, at least two...) in Starkville, there's more than
one cemetery in Starkville (if you count one that is really tiny and weed-
covered and barely visible from the road...)!  Further excuse:  first
Chevron station in yellow pages of phone book is named "Don's" and is on
Hwy 82, a much more likely place for travelers to find themselves than on
Russell Street!  However...  it is a wee bit odd, perhaps, that I've passed
that furniture store and Chevron station every day, usually several times
a day, for ages (even though the furniture store used to have a different
name) and that Bernard and I frequently walk through that cemetery and
that I could probably toss a rock from my front yard to the very place
Don, Joyce, Dawn, and Muffy were waiting...

You're right about that parenthetical part!!  Natalie was so disorganized
when she left home this morning that she forgot to leave my usual three
dog biscuits in the food bowl!  All I can conclude from this is that she
doesn't love me anymore.  I try hard to be a good dog and am faced with
neglect and indifference.  I bet she's not even gonna bring me any
cornbread from campus today.

My fingers kept itching to switch to C-Span to get coverage without
the horrible narration!  I vote for C-Span to cover the Olympics next
time.  (well, not quite, because in some of the sports, I need some
explanation)

Did you watch the swimming and gymnastics on Sunday? - I swear if I
hear the explanation of the false-start rule in swimming one more
time, I will not be responsible for my actions.  Ditto for the "each
team gets to throw out the lowest score on each apparatus" rule for
the gymnastics.  I realize that they think people may not be sitting
in front of their TV sets enthralled by every moment, and they want
to keep the channel surfers informed, but *really*!

Hi -

does anyone know of any aural training packages for the MAC or PC (commercial
or (even better) public domain) ?

In particular we are looking for GUIDO developed at the University of
Delaway for the PC and PLAESTRINA developed at Dartmouth College, UK for
the MAC. We want to find a supplier of both these packages but have had no
luck. ANy help gratefully received:

You might try Mix Bookshelf (800) 233-9604 in Emeryville, CA.  I know
they've had it in the past, but I don't see it listed in the most recent

Hi,

you can hook up two speakers to the same output either PARALLEL
(Y-like cables; both speakers are connected to the two outputs
of the amp) or SERIAL (a line from amp(+) to the first speaker(+),
one from first speaker(-) to second speaker(+) and another from
second speaker(-) to amp(-)). [a drawing would be nice, but
ASCII-Art is too much work :-)].

If you connect two speakers of 8 Ohms each in PARALLEL, overall
impedance will be 4 Ohms (!!!ATTENTION!!!), if you connect
it in SERIES, you'll get an over-all 16 Ohms impedance (no problem).

No problems occur if resulting impedance is higher than the impedance
of the amplifier; only you'll get LESS power if the impedance is too
high. If the speaker impedance is too low (lower than amp impedance),
you can damage the speaker and/or the amp when running at full power.

Just to make that clear: you allways get the _same_ power out of your
amp (which has say 8 Ohm impedance) if you connnect a) two 4-Ohm
speakers in series, b) one 8-Ohm speaker or c) two 16 Ohm speaker
in parallel.

With your case (amp 8-16 Ohms), connect speakers SERIALLY if they
have 8 Ohms each (total of 16 Ohm), or connect them in PARALLEL
if the habe 16 Ohms each (total of 8 Ohm).

Hope this helps

-Martin

sorry for the quick, repetitive posts here, but i just had a
conversation with someone here and...

what used to happen when you increased the gain on an unloaded amp
was that you were cranking the base current flow of the last power
output transistor stage. the emmiter/base part of the circuit, being
open, provided no compensatory load or drain on the flow, so the
base/collector junction would blow. my memory of the fuses comes from
when the solution to this problem was to fuse the bias line so that an
extraordinary flow would take the fuse out, protecting the transistor.
newer amps used transformer output stages. when the second side of a
transformer is unloaded, increased current at the primary does nothing...
it just flows around and dissipates. this was open circuit protection. now, i
believe that this is done differently, with high power fet output stages.
of this i'm not sure.
does that clear this up?

...has anyone experimented with the setup described by Eno on one of his
 Ambient
albums?  It consisted of a "difference" speaker which was connected to the two
positive terminals and arranged in a triangle with the left and right speakers.

Long ago in the Phonograph Days when I tried this...the "difference" signal had
a magnifying effect on clicks/pops and rumble...

Could music be engineered that would sound vastly different (voices, other
tracks) by hiding the information in phase differences which would show up on
such a speaker arrangement?  I think that Eno indicated that this was partially
possible...Also, would this setup have any detrimental effects to the amplifier
used?  I can see Channel/Channel separation getting worse from the through
leakage.

Where as a lot of what eric just said is fine and ok, this one statement:

>you do not turn up the volume with no speakers attatched. no
>speaker = infinite resistance = infinite current draw.
>that's where the fuses go.

is right out of the twilite zone! Infinite resistance means no current
draw _through that path!_ The fuses go for other reasons if they
go at all.

If infinite resistance meant infinite current, we'd have some pretty
hot plastics!

Infinite resistance will actually cause no current - therefore no
problem (I=V/R: 1 over infinity is 0).  If you were to place just
a wire across the terminals, you'd get infinite current.
