WOW! An amazing, creative, Imaginal, piece of reality. Must have been both a math & engineering genius who created this along with a passion for the Devine! G&P Wanda Sent from my iPhone On May 18, 2012, at 4:41 PM, "jlepps@pc.jaring.my" <jlepps@pc.jaring.my> wrote:
On another subject, speaking of grand designs, take a look at this musical instrument: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaQYb4Ykhz8
Here's the story:
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of
the machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa . Yes, farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was WELL worth the effort.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Our insight in demythologizing the "Book" was to look at what is going on in my life and use that experience as a basis of theology - - this is the way our fathers in the faith talked about that experience.
String theory may indeed be part of my experience but I wouldn't know it if it bit me on the ankle.
Tell me what's going on in your life and relate that to some theory, not the other way around.
Maybe more folks could relate to that approach. You think?

Colleagues:
Have any of you noticed the absence of diversity in this conversation? So far all of us participants have been, as one participant called our demographic, "pale, stale, and male." Do you suppose the subject is just not that interesting, or are there other reasons?
