People found it quite useful and discovered how to maintain it. After  they discovered its properties they discovered how to create a new fire  with just a spark from an established fire. Then they discovered how to  create a spark by hitting two rocks together. Like most human  inventions, how to start a fire came about after fire already existed.  Bach created his great music using counterpoint by taking four simple  tunes that already existed and having choirs sing them at the same time.  Edison created his electric light bulb by taking an extremely expensive  invention by Faraday and making it practical.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;When was the first fireplace invented?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RhK9OiR1lxw/Trh-OYeZlMI/AAAAAAAAHlU/CczmsUMP81k/s1600/FireplaceAnimatedFire.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RhK9OiR1lxw/Trh-OYeZlMI/AAAAAAAAHlU/CczmsUMP81k/s1600/FireplaceAnimatedFire.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;who knows but they are awesome in the winter.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="main"&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;A    BRIEF HISTORY OF FIRE AND ITS USES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - by Ed Semmelroth &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;img align="left" border="1" height="135" src="http://hearth.com/cartoonpics/caveart1.gif" width="190" /&gt;THROUGH      the centuries there has been such an intimate connection of fire with the      cultural growth of humanity that whatever relates to the antiquity of fire      is important in tracing- the history of early progress.' And because all inventions      make use of what has gone before, the steps, which lead up to the making of      the first stoves, are necessary in writing of their history. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Logically, of course,    we may assume there was once a time when man had no fire, but very early he    must have become acquainted with fire derived from natural sources, and made    use of it; for no remains of man's art show him without fire as his companion.    Much later in the scheme of things he invented processes for making fire artificially.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Many of the legends or    myths relating to the origin of fire are vivid and dramatic, and while they    vary in detail there appears to be a similarity in many of the episodes that    form the fire-origin story in all countries of the world.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Stealing fire from the    gods, one of the first incidents, was made more or less exciting by the strategy    employed in acquiring, it. Prometheus, for example, stole fire from the heavens    in a hollow tube, one of the feats which gave him the reputation of being a    great benefactor of men.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; After the transportation    of fire was solved, it was occasionally borrowed, and while the meaning is lost,    the phrase is still used when one says: "May I borrow a light?"' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; CURFEW OR "FIRE-COVER"    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; With the acquisition of    fire came the problem of preserving, it and interesting examples of the ingenuity    of man were presented. First, the fire was buried; preserved in the ashes of    the fire itself. Next, a type of slow-match or fire-stick was developed, and    later, when man worked with metals, the curfew, or "fire-cover" was invented.    The coals were raked together and collected in the chimney recess; the curfew    set over them, preserving the fire until morning.' Those surviving are of sheet    brass having perforations, and a handle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Beating drums was one    of the earliest methods used to tell members of a community that it was curfew    time. The use of bells for this purpose is also of great antiquity, and in 1068,    during the reign of William the Conqueror, the bells were rung by law, at seven    in the evening, so that all might cover the fire and extinguish the lights.    This also prohibited nocturnal assemblies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Henry 1 repealed this    law about 1100, but bells' have continued to be rung for curfew until very modern    times. In the United States, an ordinance establishing a curfew was adopted    by many towns in colonial days and existed until the first quarter of the 20th    Century. In the later years it provided in general that children under 15 should    not frequent the streets after 9 o'clock in summer and 8 o'clock in winter.    In April 1943 the curfew law was again invoked in Massachusetts so that no one    under 17 could be on the streets after 11 p. m. during the existence of dim-out    regulations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;img align="left" border="1" height="157" src="http://hearth.com/cartoonpics/smallforums.gif" width="194" /&gt;Fires      -needed watching, not only to keep them from going out, but from spreading,      or theft, so a fire-keeper was delegated to the work, thus starting a social      organization. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; The early fires also formed    a nucleus for human grouping, and became tribal or communal fires, from which    the individual family fires derived. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Symbolic and superstitious    uses of fire have been common to all faces, and at an early period the altar    fires were kept sacred - the symbol of religion - but as time went on the significance    gradually lessened, and finally the hearth became the center- of the home, with    its hospitality and good cheer.' So through the centuries the lure of fire has    remained one of the strongest instincts of the human race. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; When possible the communal    fire was placed in front of a rock shelter or cave; in a place safe and convenient    for the use of everyone, and the necessity for a screen to protect the early    bonfires from the wind may have been the reason for the round form of house    thought to be the earliest.' Later individual fires were built in the center    of the family shelters, where the hearth became known as the chimney. The term,    chimney, then was used to include the hole or flue which carried off the smoke    of the fire burning- in a pit in the center of the floor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; History has failed to    record the inventor, or to tell the place where chimneys as we might recognize    them were first used, but they seem to have been common in Venice before the    middle of the 14th Century, for- a number of them were thrown down by an earthquake    there in 1347." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; And chimneys apparently    were built in Padua before 1368, for in that year Francesco de Carrao, Lord    of Padua, with a large retinue arrived in Rome. There were no chimneys in the    inn where he stayed, and the smoke from the fire (built in a hole in the floor)    was just too much for him. So he had two chimneys built by workmen (masons and    carpenters) he brought with him (anticipating the situation, no doubt) and over    the chimneys he placed his arms." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; In England, the oldest    actual remains of chimneys are supposed to be those of Winwall House, Not-folk,    and of Kenilworth and Conway Castles, built in the 12th Century." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Leland, in his Itinerary,    mentioned those of Bolton Castle: "One thing I muche notyed in the haulle of    Bolton, how chimneys were conveyed by tunnels made on the sides of the walls    bytwixt the lights in the haulle, and by this means, and by no covers, is the    smoke of the bai-tbe in the haulle wonder strangely conveyed." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; During the reign of the    Tudors, chimneys became a prominent and beautiful architectural feature, but    even while Elizabeth was queen, apologies were made to guests if they could    not be given rooms with chimneys, and ladies were often sent to the neighbors    where they could enjoy this luxury, available for some time only in the homes    of the wealthy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; In the homes of the common    people the fire was still being kindled against a hob of clay in the back or    center of the room. Only part of the smoke which filled the room ever found    its way out through the opening- in the roof or wall, sometimes only a few feet    above the level of the hearth." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Wattle and clay chimneys    were being erected as late as 1621, when a Mr. Skinner of Sudbury, England was    ordered to "amend his dangerous chimney," and afterwards were fined for not    doing it. This caused the following -General order by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; The court: That no man    shall elect and build up any chimney within the borough but only of brick, and    to be builded above the roof of the house fower feete and a halfe, upon the    pain for every such offense to be here-After committed the summe of vl." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; On April 7, 1719 other    clay chimneys were ordered to be rebuilt of brick." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; In the New England colonies,    chimneys on the first houses were built of wood. Logs or sticks were placed    one above another at right angles, and plastered with clay or mortar, and roofs    were thatched with reeds or flags.'7 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Great exposure to fire    was always imminent with this style of building-, although chimneys and roofs    were subject to frequent inspection by officers detailed for the duty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; The first fire in the    town of Boston occurred on the 16th of March, 1631 from the imperfect claying    of one of the cattied" chimneys, and two buildings were destroyed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Later, officers known    as "firewards" were appointed by the justices of peace and selectmen of the    towns from time to time, and were distinguished by a staff five feet in length,    colored red, and headed by a brass spire six inches long." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Governor Dudley prohibited    wooden chimneys and thatched roofs, and they were also forbidden in the Dutch    colony at Manhattan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Despite the law, inflammable    materials must have continued long in use, for President Washington, in his    tour of the eastern states in 1789, considered the fact that dwellings generally    hid stone or brick chimneys an item worthy of record in his diary. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; The principles of the    chimney were but poorly understood for many years. No matter how perfect they    seemed the builders were never sure they wouldn't smoke, and with a mysterious    pertinacity the smoke which should -o up, came down. For a long time too, so-called    chimney doctors (who professed to remedy smoky chimneys) flourished; engaged    in what today would be termed a racket." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; The first recorded effort    to study the matter of smoky chimneys on a scientific basis was that of Louis    Savot, a physician of Paris, during the 16th Century. He failed to find the    real trouble, although he did improve the form of the fireplace opening by narrowing    the width, so that less air could enter on each side of the fire. And he showed    that the flue should be smooth to lessen the friction of the ascend-ing smoke.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Benjamin Franklin spent    a great deal of time trying to find a cure for smoky chimneys, and after his    reputation as an heating expert had been established, he complained that wherever    he visited he was asked to remedy one. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; He repeatedly spoke of    the disadvantages of the large fireplace, and the necessity of the chimney-cloth    (a contrivance placed at the upper opening of the fireplace to lower the opening)    to keep smoke from coming out into the room. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; In his pamphlet published    in 1745, Franklin listed the inconveniences of the large fireplace, when he    wrote: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;"They almost always smoke,    if the door were not left open. They require a large funnel, and a large funnel    carries off a great quantity of air, which occasions -hat is called a strong    draft to the chimney, without which strong draft the smoke would come out of    some part or other of so large an opening, so that the door can seldom be shut;    and the cold air so nips the backs and heels of those that sit before the fire."    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt; Used with permission...written      by Ed Semmelroth, &lt;a href="http://www.antiquestoves.com/"&gt;www.antiquestoves.com&lt;/a&gt;      - Illustrations &lt;a href="http://www.sandysandy.com/"&gt;by Sandy Sandy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/110339344510600111-8047100697609775951?l=vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/feeds/8047100697609775951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-is-random-about-fire.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/110339344510600111/posts/default/8047100697609775951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/110339344510600111/posts/default/8047100697609775951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-is-random-about-fire.html' title='What is random about Fire?'/><author><name>Christopher Franko</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/105699527508121484553</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hO4_NPk3L7I/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAMSE/856RnhSPx74/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xbkXFb5sJg0/Trh82FvXcqI/AAAAAAAAHlE/k6Ww4kCqt9k/s72-c/110928030800-bezos-kindle-fire-story-top.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110339344510600111.post-1795336812526612623</id><published>2011-11-05T18:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-05T18:22:00.374-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animated gifs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='test'/><title type='text'>What else is random about Test?</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;TestPrepReview.com PROVIDES PRACTICE &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;TEST&lt;/span&gt; FOR YOU!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img align="right" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://www.testprepreview.com/images/pic2.jpg.pagespeed.ce.2AtPJj7mEs.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: -webkit-left;" vspace="10" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Such a huge relief for this guy..

I know standardized tests have always given me a sense of dread, even when I'm adequately prepared and know I will do well on the test. Through high school, college, and then graduate school, the tests seemed to only get more complicated and more important. Preparing for the next difficult standardized test in my immediate future became a way of life for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"&gt;Planning When to Study for your Test&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-left;"&gt;As you prepare for your test, you want to make sure that you start soon enough. Knowing when to begin your preparation process is critical to having enough time to prepare, without feeling rushed. Adequate preparation time has become increasingly important as test takers lives are increasingly rushed and often feel as though they don't have enough time to prepare for their test.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-left;"&gt;The amount of time that is necessary to prepare depends on the individual, as well as the score the test taker hopes to achieve. If you are a quick learner, then you won't need to spend as much time preparing as someone that absorbs material and concepts at a lower rate. If you don't need a very high score in order to accomplish your goals, then you also won't need to spend much time preparing. However, if you need a high score, then it will require additional study time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"&gt;Test Preparation Resources&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.test-preparation.ca/" style="text-align: -webkit-left;"&gt;Study Guides and Test Prep&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-left;"&gt;There are many resources that you can use as you begin the test preparation process.

What made Lone Star famous is our mesquite-grilled steaks, which are hand-cut fresh daily at each restaurant. Our menu includes "Texas-sized" portions of food and great value. Our menu offers great variety beyond steak … salmon, ribs, sandwiches, burgers and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We offer a great fun and casual atmosphere, perfect for any size group, and we also offer a fun full-service bar at all locations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lone Star&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a “destination restaurant.” That is, if your destination is good food and big fun. Upbeat country music, Texas artifacts, and our excellent service standards enhance the Lone Star experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a December, 2006 acquisition by an affiliate of a private&amp;nbsp;equity firm, the Lone Star brand began a new and exciting era. Our commitment to quality and service is unwavering and we have created some new excitement and continue to focus&amp;nbsp;on marketing, remodeling, conversion of existing restaurants and ultimately the expansion of the Lone Star brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of our effort to become the “restaurant and employer of choice”, we are also directing our efforts to employee incentive programs to improve our already competitive benefits. If you’re interested in being part of the Lone Star Team, let us hear from you. Lone Star is a great American brand … always looking for great people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the company operates 108&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lone Star&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;restaurants, which are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Stop in and enjoy our Texas Hospitality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Corporate Offices:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Support Center&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5055 W.

"The holy grail is a drug that might be able to enhance the social abilities of people with social disorders like autism."&lt;br /&gt;In his lab at Yerkes, Young studies rodents called prairie voles. Unlike 95 percent of mammals, prairie voles mate for life.&lt;br /&gt;"They form a lifelong bond," Young said. "They nest together, they raise a family together, they have another litter. So they have this really intense bond between them."&lt;br /&gt;In a series of studies, Young found that the hormones that produce that bond are the same ones that promote parent-child bonding in many other species.&lt;br /&gt;For females, that hormone is oxytocin.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Some &lt;a href="http://www.poetry-of-the-day.com/"&gt;Love Poetry&lt;/a&gt;

normally occurring in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum" title="Stratum"&gt;rock strata&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;i&gt;layers or veins&lt;/i&gt; called &lt;b&gt;coal beds&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;coal seams&lt;/b&gt;. The harder forms, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite" title="Anthracite"&gt;anthracite coal&lt;/a&gt;, can be regarded as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphic_rock" title="Metamorphic rock"&gt;metamorphic rock&lt;/a&gt; because of later exposure to elevated temperature and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure" title="Pressure"&gt;pressure&lt;/a&gt;.

Four-time Grammy nominated, multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter &lt;b&gt;KEYSHIA COLE&lt;/b&gt; knows well about enduring the seasons of change, particularly matters of the heart. With the release of her fourth album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;CALLING ALL HEARTS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  (Geffen Records), in the true spirit of full disclosure, Keyshia pours  her heart and soul on all 14 tracks of her latest masterpiece. Enlisting  powerful collaborations with &lt;b&gt;Nicki Minaj, Faith Evans, Tank&lt;/b&gt; and her mother &lt;b&gt;Dr. Yvonne Cole&lt;/b&gt;, and partnering with production giants &lt;b&gt;Jimmy Jam &amp;amp; Terry Lewis&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Timbaland&lt;/b&gt;, Keyshia made this project a labor of love and an true expression of life…Keyshia’s life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;b&gt;KEYSHIA&lt;/b&gt;, “I wasn’t that optimistic about finding true love.” In the early stages of developing &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;CALLING ALL HEARTS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,  Keyshia had all but given up on the prospect. “I decided when I did get  back into the swing of things I’m not dealing with anyone who’s not on  my level.” Enter &lt;b&gt;Daniel “Boobie” Gibson&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers&lt;/b&gt;.  The undeniable connection between the two not only transformed  Keyshia’s heart, but also soon after the birth of their son, Daniel Jr.,  she was able to pour out her heart in signature fashion to complete  this, her 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://coalheadwear.com/about"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Coal the Headwear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="column"&gt;       &lt;h2&gt;Mission&lt;/h2&gt;Coal was founded on the belief that headwear is more than an  accessory. It's part of you, your identity, and your lifestyle. We build  this idea into each of our designs by using quality materials and  exacting detail, and crafting styles that are as unique as you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;We are dedicated to making headwear more than an accessory.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--x7Sjvberz4/Tq7PSLl-PRI/AAAAAAAAHU8/xo5dYkyNJtY/s1600/S11_NELSON_RED.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="223" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--x7Sjvberz4/Tq7PSLl-PRI/AAAAAAAAHU8/xo5dYkyNJtY/s320/S11_NELSON_RED.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;History&lt;/h2&gt;In 2002 Coal started as a labor of love in an apartment in Portland,  Oregon. In our first year, we launched with a vision for a quality  headwear line inspired by friends and family—one that would be an outlet  for our whole new take on the woolen, knit beanie. Drawing from deep  roots in art, skate and snowboard culture, Coal delivered great fit and  forward thinking design. Although we now call Seattle, Washington home  we've stayed true to our original inspiration and today, offer a wide  range of distinctive pieces from caps and hats to gloves and knits that  match your unique life and style. We offer a headwear culture you can't  find anywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/110339344510600111-7261842149993532675?l=vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/feeds/7261842149993532675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-is-random-about-coal.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/110339344510600111/posts/default/7261842149993532675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/110339344510600111/posts/default/7261842149993532675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vibrantlyrandom.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-is-random-about-coal.html' title='What is random about  coal?'/><author><name>Christopher Franko</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/105699527508121484553</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hO4_NPk3L7I/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAMSE/856RnhSPx74/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BZ8YxzAXod8/Tq7PJ-_oTYI/AAAAAAAAHUs/wCkcORpUTk0/s72-c/EIA_coal_train.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110339344510600111.post-6704300414495951694</id><published>2011-10-28T07:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T07:48:07.365-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='random'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hummer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gifs'/><title type='text'>What is random about hummer?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.hummer.com/"&gt;HUMMER&lt;/a&gt; brand:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2031CWLuqN0/Tqq7xjhPhVI/AAAAAAAAHFs/3vXC7YK23nw/s1600/130981188969.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2031CWLuqN0/Tqq7xjhPhVI/AAAAAAAAHFs/3vXC7YK23nw/s1600/130981188969.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;kpop hottie infront of a hummer, got me thinking about getting a hummer.

line-height: 24px;"&gt;There's not a lot of data to work with, but most experts think the average lifespan of a hummer is 3 or 4 years. The record was a female Broad-tailed, banded as an adult in Colorado in 1976, then recaptured in the same location in 1987, which would have made her at least 12 years old.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr noshade="" size="1" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;" /&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d6jgdiXtszc/Tqq9hmUINWI/AAAAAAAAHF0/AbmqWMnvC0U/s1600/hummingbird.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d6jgdiXtszc/Tqq9hmUINWI/AAAAAAAAHF0/AbmqWMnvC0U/s1600/hummingbird.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="" name="predators" style="color: #993366; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;What animals prey on hummingbirds?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"&gt;Although various larger birds, snakes, and mammals raid hummingbird nests for eggs and chicks, predation is not a major cause of mortality in adult hummingbirds. Animals known to have caught and eaten hummingbirds include cats, small hawks and owls, shrikes, roadrunners, orioles, tanagers, large flycatchers, grackles, herons, gulls, largemouth bass, frogs, spiders, and praying mantises.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr noshade="" size="1" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;" /&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;a href="" name="wingbeat" style="color: #993366; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;How fast do hummingbird wings beat? How do they move?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"&gt;It depends on the size of the bird. The largest, the Giant Hummingbird, has a wingbeat rate of 10-15 per second. The fastest recorded rate was about 80 per second, on a tiny Amethyst Woodstar, and the slightly smaller Bee Hummingbird - the world's smallest bird - may have an even faster rate. Common small North American hummers like the Ruby-throated and Rufous average around 53 per second in normal flight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"&gt;Watch this short slow-motion&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.hummingbirds.net/images/figure8.mov" style="color: #993366; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;QuickTime movie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of a male Ruby-throated hovering.

Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel") returns as a regular guy who also happens to be the government's most vital secret agent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that those closest to Chuck know his secret, he must try harder than ever to keep his spy life from interfering with his personal life. But this has never been more difficult - his relationship with superspy Sarah Walker is getting serious, and he's about to take on his most personal mission yet: finding his mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This season, Chuck's assignments take him far from Burbank, with each mission bringing him closer to uncovering what happened to his mom, Mary Elizabeth Bartowski (guest star Linda Hamilton, "The Terminator," "Terminator 2: Judgment Day").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ever stoic Colonel John Casey (Adam Baldwin, "My Bodyguard," "Serenity") returns with partner Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, the upcoming "The Killer Elite"), one of the CIA's top agents and Chuck's new girlfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also starring are Joshua Gomez ("Without a Trace") as Morgan Grimes, Chuck's best buddy; Sarah Lancaster ("What About Brian?") as Chuck's ever-supportive sister Ellie; Ryan McPartlin ("Living with Fran") as Devon Woodcomb (also known as Captain Awesome), Ellie's husband. Chuck's Buy More team consists of Big Mike (Mark Christopher Lawrence, "The Pursuit of Happyness") and the Nerd Herd, which includes Lester (Vik Sahay, "Time Bomb") and Jeff (Scott Krinsky, "The O.C.").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Chuck" is co-created by Josh Schwartz ("The O.C.," "Gossip Girl") and Chris Fedak, and is executive produced by Schwartz, McG ("Charlie's Angels," "Terminator Salvation"), Fedak, Robert Duncan McNeill, and Nicholas Wootton. "Chuck" is produced by Fake Empire, and Wonderland Sound and Vision, in association with Warner Bros. Television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;What is ground CHUCK:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K8HPwJlsUN8/TqifEcAquoI/AAAAAAAAHFM/9hAQ7NmSKlo/s1600/11907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K8HPwJlsUN8/TqifEcAquoI/AAAAAAAAHFM/9hAQ7NmSKlo/s320/11907.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;First, you have regular ground which commonly comes from the plate (underbelly) and breast of the cow. This is not the choicest of meats and tends to be very fatty, grisly and, in lesser grades, can contain some bone chips. Regular ground beef is the least purchased ground simply because Americans are becoming more health conscience and don't mind paying an extra 50 cents per pound for better quality. This area on the cow is also where corned beef and brisket come from. Usually, when your butcher or their packager is processing regular ground beef, they will add in fat found from other parts of the cow. This gives the percentage of fat figure that is seen on your ground beef packaging (e.g. 75-80% lean means that 20-25% of the package is really fat, also known as suet).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Secondly, you can purchase ground chuck. This is the most popular ground on the market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1319673274_0" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Ground chuck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;comes from the shoulder and neck area of the cow and is usually very fatty but also has an immense amount of flavoring. This is why such cuts of meat as a chuck roast are favored for a hearty winter meal. Served with potatoes and gravy, this cut can be especially delicious but has a downside of too many fat calories. Sometimes, when processing ground chuck, the butcher will blend a better grade of fat (if necessary) in with the meat. This fat comes from other "chuck type" cuts of meat such as rib-eye steaks. Ground chuck is great for a juicy burgers and mouth watering meatloaf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Your third choice is ground round. The "round" area is actually the rear or rump of the cow. This is the area where a rump roast, round steaks and round roasts come from. This meat is high in flavor, very lean and also a tad bit chewy. Perfect for a slow cooked pot roast that won't accelerate your fat intake. Ground round is an ideal choice for tacos, lean meatloaf and sloppy joes. It also works well with most Hamburger Helpers since it requires little draining due to the lack of fat content.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Lastly,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1319673274_1" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;ground sirloin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is approaching almost a cult-type status among the very health conscience who don't want to sacrifice on taste. Generally, a good sirloin cut of meat will have a marbling texture of fat throughout the meat that is completely different from the chunks found in a chuck. This gives an almost angelic blend of fat and flavor for burgers that will truly out of this world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;How much wood could a woodCHUCK, CHUCK:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SaxRz_K2gq8/TqigDgPrO7I/AAAAAAAAHFU/y-xiFCrayOk/s1600/funny-pictures-polite-woodchuck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="273" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SaxRz_K2gq8/TqigDgPrO7I/AAAAAAAAHFU/y-xiFCrayOk/s320/funny-pictures-polite-woodchuck.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="question salutation" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;Dear Cecil:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;This question has gnawed at me since I was a young boy. It is a question posed every day by countless thousands around the globe and yet I have never heard even one remotely legitimate answer. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question byline" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;— R.F.B., Arlington, Virginia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Cecil replies:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Are you kidding? Everybody knows a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Next you'll be wanting to know why she sells seashells by the seashore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: #552bb7; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like I didn't see this one coming&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="question" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;Dear Cecil:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;Now that you mention it, why does she sell seashells by the seashore?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question byline" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;— Agate, Washington, D.C.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Cecil replies:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Because if, by way of alternative, she simply did seashell shucking whilst she sat, we'd all be in big trouble.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: #552bb7; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Poetry ain't good enough for him&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="question" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;Dear Cecil:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;With regard to how much wood a woodchuck could chuck, etc., I am happy to say that science marches on, and the quaint but oh-so-unscientific answer you gave has been replaced with a modern one. See the enclosed article in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="question byline" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;— Randy B., Los Angeles&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Cecil replies:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="answer" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;The article reports on the work of New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas, who found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds. We are pleased to know this, of course.
