Everyone says the avatar looks more like me than most photos But it has more hair

Cool work

Not even gonna try

Doh! My only excuse is that its midnight, an I was up early to watch AFL live in Australia, from the UK I got to the right book though Sheesh, man, how does your mind work. No that's not the next trivia question.

Do I recall Ouroboros/Mjolnir type plot in Number of the Beast? I have difficulty with some of the morality arguments in Time Enough For Love, but liked it Overall I think I'd go for Stranger in a Strange Land. H

But its not in Show...

Analogies are how I explain lodsa techie stuff, so fully understand yours. Thank for the explanations

http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/15-floral-and-sheridan-carving/ Kseidel posted about Chuck Smiths cobalt blades March 13 2012 He still has them on his site. Becker leather says this on ruby blades Worthy of noting, the above Midas swivel knife shown sports a rare, ruby blade. These were made by Tandy Leather in the 70's and discontinued. As fragile as they are, the artificially constructed ruby itself doesn't need sharpening like other blades; only stropping. Their modern replacement today is the ceramic blade which is an opaque white and stays sharp with only stropping as well. H

Years ago they offered ruby blades... early 1980s, way too pricey for me, I'd forgotten them til you posted this. Must have been Tandy as they're the only one I got carving tools from back then

@alpha2 Dang it to heck I was a minute out, but still don't fully understand why. @Mjolnir the math is a bit questionable, but Monty Python sang the Galaxy Song, which explained it to me.

Loads of wasted paper... I had the feel of it but the maths eluded me, logically I cannot work out if the time was "made up" or not. H

Its too hard for older folk to develop more than one persona so I tend to use my nom de computer first chosen years ago. And you used to get free access to weemee on Skype, hence the avatar. H

I am a viewer on that thread, not a replier that I recall. I am jealous of the space folks have. H

Now that's just poor English on their part. A music case is a traditional flap over body gussetted leather case, usually with a brass bar closure. H

I read the request, but expected it to be pinned as it was, not moved. Seemed reasonable to me. H

I am also on other forums one is strictish but the mods ALWAYS post to say where and why they moved the thread. I don't think it had drifted much

If it was 100 mph over 100 miles each way with a 10 mph wind the return journey will be quicker than the outward. The total time 2.02 hrs If there were no wind each trip would be 1 hr each way totlalling 2.00 hrs. I think... it was calculation number 50 or 60 and my head hurts. Harry

504 replies show we were happy with it in "Show", seems odd to move it after 3 months. H

Here goes nothing... yes it does Or No it doesn't I love multi choice in subjects I am rubbish at... To quote Rev Jim in Taxi "was I right?"

Abbey Saddlery calls them a single head knife, the sharp edge follows the curve, it's not a draw knife. The guy I learned from just called them a head knife Harry

@ jack142 do you mean a single head knife http://abbeyengland.com/Store/CategoryID/442/Level/a/ProductID/76762 I use these a lot more than the full head or half moon knife. I have used a Don Carlos Solingen Head knife since 1985, but although it holds an edge brilliantly, it's a bit large so I tend to use the Geo Barnsley single head knife. Harry

Who's turn is it?

Well its over to you BBC website yesterday 5 pop songs you didn't know were about God... Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way One of the most insistent riffs in rock is married to a lyric about a messianic figure recruiting disciples."I am the chosen, I am the one," sings Kravitz. "But what I really want to know is/Are you going to go my way?"The song came to Kravitz in a flash of inspiration - he recalls scribbling the lyrics down on a brown paper bag - but it reflects his real-life faith.The star has a tattoo on his back which reads "My heart belongs to Jesus", and he once called Christ "the ultimate rock star". 2) Candi Staton - You Got The Love Disco diva Candi Staton recorded You Got The Love in the 1980s after turning her back on secular music and devoting herself to the church. Bizarrely, the song originally featured in a video about the world's fattest man and his endeavour to lose weight. It only became famous when dance act The Source remixed it in 1991 - bringing lyrics like "My saviour's love is real" to raves up and down the country. The song's success prompted Staton to reassess her career. "It was such an inspirational song it allowed me to rethink," she told The Guardian. "People in church used to tell me secular music was the devil's music - but I realised it wasn't." 3) U2 - Until The End Of The World There's a strong spiritual theme running throughout U2's career - at one point, they even considered ditching the band to devote themselves to the church. So many of their songs are based on biblical teachings that churches have started holding "U2charists" - communion services where the band's songs take the place of hymns. Their most powerful song, narratively-speaking, is Until The End Of The World, which is sung from the perspective of Judas Iscariot in the Garden of Gethsemane. The song takes place as he betrays Jesus - delivering a pre-arranged signal that identifies him to the Temple Guards, who arrest him, ultimately leading to the crucifixion. "I kissed your lips and broke your heart," sings Bono/Judas. "You, you were acting like it was the end of the world." 4) The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! "A time to be born, a time to die/A time to plant, a time to reap/A time to kill, a time to heal/A time to laugh, a time to weep." The Byrds' 1965 hit is based, almost verbatim, on chapter three of the Book of Ecclesiastes, where King Solomon contemplates the meaning of life, God and eternity. It was "probably the only time a song was at number one on the charts right out of the Bible," guitarist Chris Hillman later told the US Library of Congress. "I know Pete [Seeger, songwriter] made his half of the publishing. I don't know if King Solomon's heirs ever got a dime." Hillman wasn't religious at the time of writing the song - in fact, he said the lyrics were almost "tongue in cheek" - but he converted to Christianity later in his life. 5) Prince - Let's Go Crazy OK, so it opens with Prince sermonising over a church organ - but a lot of people missed Let's Go Crazy's religious message amid the lyrics about sex and "purple bananas" (don't ask). The song is a plea to make the most of life without succumbing to the temptations of the devil - enigmatically characterised as "de-elevator" who is trying to "bring us down". For those on the path of righteousness, the reward is the afterworld: "A world of never ending happiness [where] you can always see the sun, day or night." Prince recorded songs that were more explicitly religious (including a jazz-funk Jehovah's Witness concept album called The Rainbow Children) but he never made faith sound this much fun again. Further listening Kanye West - Jesus Walks Mumford and Sons - The Cave Carrie Underwood - Jesus, Take The Wheel Nina Simone - Sinnerman Bob Dylan - Gotta Serve Somebody The Fray - You Found Me Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You) Bob Marley - Redemption Song David Bowie - Word On A Wing Kendrick Lamar - Faith The Headhunters - God Made Me Funky Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum

Fredk yup it seemed apt. H

Which is why I don't post pictures....
