A Listen

I was listening to the radio this weekend..I listen to more music than I watch TV, anyway I caught myself listening to a tune I thought was Bob Dylon,......no the guitar is Mark Knopfler.....yea, the voice is Mark Knopfler also, but I had never heard Dire Straits do this song, So on to Gizoogle ( not really)
and do some sleuthing and low and behold here were the Notting Hillbillies with Mark Knopfler, Steve Phillips, Brendan Croker and Guy Fletcher back in 90 and the sound is very good, something Mrs Fyreman will like. here is a link ....hey Count thanks for the Zamzar Idea

GET BENT.....well its not coke and a 20"......

the above line is from Countramblings post on "Coke and a 20 inch Dong"

Ok I am ageek cuz I just love stuff like this it gets me in a wild mood
we foster some smart kids here in the Willamette Valley

OSU develops material that bends light

By KYLE ODEGARDGazette-Times reporter

Oregon State University scientists have helped develop a new type of composite material that can bend light the “wrong way,” and that could have a wide range of optical and electronic applications, according to the university. The material is made up of reflective and transparent layers, but right now, samples aren’t big enough to be seen by the human eye. “It’s pretty small, about a quarter of the size of a human hair,” said Viktor Podolskiy, an OSU assistant professor of physics. In theory, large amounts of the technology could make objects appear invisible by bending light around them.“Star Trek” fans shouldn’t begin plans for a Romulan cloaking device just yet, however. “I am pretty pessimistic about this, because it is cloaking for one wavelength,” Podolskiy said. The human eye or radar with multiple frequencies would notice objects, though there might be significant distortion, he said. Regardless, until recently, “negative index” material was science fiction and theory.Scientists started talking about the possibility in the late 1960s. “Up to the year 2000, there was no research,” Podolskiy said. “We had an explosion in that particular area. There are probably a couple hundred papers published every year on the subject.” Researchers at OSU, Princeton University and Alcatel-Lucent who developed the material believe it could be produced commercially, since it is created using existing tools available to the semiconductor industry. This material also is more robust and thicker than others that reflect light the wrong way, and as incredible as it seems, the OSU group’s sample is larger than others, Podolskiy said. “This is a big step forward,” he added. The material might be used to shrink infrared optical systems and create a super lens to see objects the size of a nanometer — about one-100,000th of a human hair’s diameter. It could also improve electronic manufacturing, data storage and medical systems, according to the university. Podolskiy said he thinks commercial applications of the material could be just a few years away.

Welcome to the Board Room

Well I am a Director now,....I was gifted stock to the family corporation about 6 months ago and that made me eligible for a position on the Board of Directors. The family farm was started in 1859 in the Willamette valley by Jacob Manley Currier (My wifes Great Great Grandfather) who came into to the Willamette valley(Pronounce it Will AM it - Damn it) and got a land grant for Military service to the Union.Today its 1650 acres of Grass seed, Christmas trees, and Timber.
I hope that I can bring something to the table and be a positive influence, I want to wade right in but I am going to force myself to ease in slowly.

These boot where made for ..........

I dont spend much money on myself....My wife buys my clothes and I kinda bumble along and say "OK"I trust her taste in my clothing. I like firearms, but I have just got this Bee in my bonnet (mental Pic is funny) and I want a new pair of boots, and not just any boots I want a pair of Double H Packers with the 10 inch tops, I haven't had a new pair of Cowboy boots in 16 years and I think I deserve them. I think I will just buy them for my Birthday in a couple of months and call it good.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields By:

Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD

(1872-1918) Canadian Army
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Happy Birthday U.S.M.C.

On November 10, 1775, the Continental

Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Continental Marines, today known as the United States Marine Corps. That very day, Nicholas set up shop in Tun Tavern. He appointed Robert Mullan, then the proprietor of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine Recruiter — serving, of course, from his place of business at Tun Tavern. Prospective recruits flocked to the tavern, lured by beer and the opportunity to serve in the new Corps of Marines. Hey leathernecks......"Oorah"......we appreciate you.

Lily was here

If I want to make points with my wife I find her "Cool jazz" one of her faves is Candy Dulfer, and I like her also. I like Sax music Its kind of one of those Naughty Pleasures. The song that sticks out the most is the one her and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics did called Lily was here there is a movie that really goes with it but I got about as lost in that as I did in "Lola rennt" or "Run Lola Run" But anyway back to Naughty Sax music ... I like it

Memories

Ok Sohos just made me take a U-turn back to my childhood and a wonderful memory
Living In rural Montana we didn't have a lot of entertainment. we had a small theatre
(the Rex) and it played second run movies. One time we were in the big city of Spokane WA
(most of my family is from there) and Dad took us to the opening Of the "Jungle book", I was all of 5 but it burned itself into my little mind. and I can still Hear Louis Prima as King Louie sing "I wanna be like you" that Christmas I got a LP (Record for you youngsters) and I wore that album out....and drove Mama nuts, Bless her soul she was a patient person.

The Bird......

Weight watchers is going to be forgotten for one day this month and that’s the 22 ...Thanksgiving. I am going to grill the bird this year (it leaves the 3 oven open for the other stuff), I do it about every 3 years or so I brine it for 24 hours and then into the smoker (I am using apple and maple wood) and a few extra briquette just to keep the heat around 300. It is a thing of beauty.... really. My oldest makes a pecan pie to KILL for and my youngest makes apple pie MMMMMMM, and Mrs. Fyreman well she Is in charge of the other pastries, rolls, and biscuits. Then Its nap time.

Just a ramble

My wife calls me "Pan" sometimes because I am the boy that never grew up
I listen to a lot of what my kids listen to and introduce them to new stuff, but I also can listen to Diane Krall and enjoy the hell out of it, my music tastes are all over the board.
Next Year Ozzy Osbourne will be 60 years and he looks to be 70 but when Zakk Wylde starts tearing up the frets Ozzy is all business, I love it he just keeps going. I remember my daughter at 3 singing at the top of her lungs "and Mama, Mama I'm coming home". Speaking Of the youngest of the wild bunch she is following me in Weight Watchers at home and loosing a lot of weight. She is kind of amazed at how easy it is
And I am proud she is taking it so serious.


And I am down 2 more pounds
