Talk:Storm glass

message: Cecil Adams is widely read and respected, but he is by no stretch of the imagination an expert. nor are his experiments scientific. The column in question (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2963/can-storm-glasses-predict-the-weather) suggests a very undisciplined testing method - didn't use a standard storm glass, but built one himself. Storm glasses are probably random and not accurate at all, but to quote Cecil Adams as proof of this is insufficient. I suggest the Cecil Adams reference be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cupaxtai (talk • contribs) 04:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: It occurs to me that there's a healthy bit of chemistry/physics that happens with one of these things...
You start with two different solvents (water/ethanol), with different densities.  You throw them into a tall cyllendar and let them sit.  They will differentiate to a (probably quite limited) extent.   You then saturate the solution with several compounds, and let them precipitate out. The solution is predisposed to not convect much, and later redisolving of the compounds makes the solution at the bottom denser still than the solution at the top, further curtailing convection...
Depending on how well the compounds dissolve in either solvent, I could see them precipitating out near the bottom or near the top, where the two solvents are less mixed, and I've little idea how the mixed solvents actually affects solubility, or for that matter multiple disolved compounds....

"The double symbolism used in its name is considered allegoric to the dual nature of the deity, where being feathered represents its divine nature or ability to fly to reach the skies and being a serpent represents its human nature or ability to creep on the ground among other animals of the Earth, a dualism very common in Mesoamerican deities."

Talk:List of temples in Tamil Nadu

replies: text:  Praveen, Sure. We could do the chronological listing, but I wasn't sure if we would be able to date all temples (with citation). I think we would need some research to date many temples (esp. the several dozens of Saivite and Vaishnavite temples). In any case, I'm in the process of adding some more temples to the list - once it gets into a decent shape, we could rearrange the list in the best possible way. BTW, I realized yesterday that I was blocked for 24 hrs, somehow I had violated the 3RR the previous day... which tells me I need to be more careful :) If the block had to come, it came at a not-so-bad time, since I was busy at work for most of the time anyway.

thread_title: Organisations?

message: As I have stated on the relevant talk pages, I believe these two name changes were a mistake. The following books, most of which are listed in the bibliography of the Easter Rising article, all give the men’s names as “Tom Clarke” and “Seán MacDermott”, not “Thomas Clarke” or “Seán Mac Diarmada”:
*Max Caulfield, The Easter Rebellion, Dublin 1916 
*Tim Pat Coogan, 1916: The Easter Rising 
*Michael Foy and Brian Barton, The Easter Rising 
*C Desmond Greaves The Life and Times of James Connolly
*Robert Kee, Ireland: A History
*Charles Townshend, Easter 1916: The Irish Rebellion
*Seán Mc Mahon, Rebel Ireland
*Annie Ryan, Witnesses: Inside the Easter Rising
*Kathleen Clarke, Revolutionary Woman
*Desmond Fitzgerald, Desmond’s Rising
The last three are especially important as they are the words of the people who actually knew and worked with these men. Kathleen Clarke was married to Tom, and a close friend of MacDermott. The only time, apparently, that they used the names “Thomas J. Clarke” and “Seán Mac Diarmada” was when they signed the Proclamation. Strangely, Patrick Pearse, who also signed his name in Irish, has never been referred to in English as “Pádraig Mac Piarais,” although he was referred to for many years as “Pádraig Pearse.”
For these reasons, and because I am involved in an effort to improve the Easter Rising article, I propose to change these back to the original names. Scolaire 14:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

As a separate matter, I reworded the first sentence about what he's done in the past. I understood the French article, but the wording in the English article was hard to follow. It probably still needs more editing to make it accurate and understandable.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:41, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
