Are you saying it helps to demonstrate a noise or problem? Or are you saying you want to see me flap like a chicken while braying like a donkey?

Sometimes I just crack me up.

It's so great to have somewhere to put these little things. Do you think my blog followers get sick of 20-30 posts a day?

I'm a little critical of the lack of manners in New England. For example, there seem to be no more than a dozen natives that say "excuse me" when they walk right in front of your face. And for those few, I question their heritage.

All right, so tonight I was grocery shopping. It was very crowded. As a woman and I approached each other, I veered right to pass her. She, however, veered to her left and we were now nose-to-nose.

"Bear right," I said cheerily, smiling.

"No, YOU bear right!" she replied.

Hmm, I thought, guess manners is the least of her problems.

""""""...Stationary Engine Starts

To start the engine, MG1 (connected to the sun) is driven forward using electrical power from the high voltage battery, as shown in the animation above. If the car is stationary, the ring gear of the PSD will also be held stationary. The rotation of the sun gear therefore forces the planet carrier to rotate. This is connected to the ICE and turns it over at 1/3.6 of the rotation rate of MG1 (see equation 1 in The Power Split Device).

Whereas a conventional car passes fuel and sparks to the ICE as soon as the starter motor gets it turning, the Prius waits until MG1 gets the ICE up to around 1000 r.p.m. This happens in less than a second. MG1 is much more powerful than an ordinary starter motor. To turn the ICE at this rate, it needs to spin at 3600 r.p.m. itself. Starting the ICE from 1000 r.p.m. puts virtually no strain on it because this is a speed at which the ICE would be happy to run under its own power. In addition, the Prius begins by sparking only a couple of cylinders. The result is a very smooth start up, free from noise and lugging, that eliminates the wear associated with normal car engine starts.

Once the ICE has started to run under its own power, the computer controls the throttle opening to get a suitable idle speed during warmup. Electricity is no longer fed to MG1 and, in fact, if the battery is low MG1 may be used to generate electricity to charge the battery. The animation above illustrates this situation also. The computer merely configures MG1 as a generator instead of as a motor, opens the ICE throttle a bit more and draws off electricity".....

It may depend on what you're looking for. I know I've often said to myself, "If only that woman had a whole lot of self-esteem issues, why, I'd be all over her."

Absolutely! We tend to be more harsh on ourselves than others. Too bad we don't see ourselves though others' eyes; it would prove very revealing for some, I'm sure.

I think a nap is in order, but I wish I had that cat's bottle of wine!

foxyshaman · 06-14-2011, 03:28 PM

so unrelated to anything but work... is it necessry to use the same wording over and over and over in the reports that are yearly or every six months. Is there anything other than cut and paste... I am ready for that wine Diva and Dixielady expressed an interest in.

and spell check is a great tool, one I think is under-utilized in my industry.

and I want a new white shirt to go over my new red corset.

and I found out that corsets are NOT made for foxy dancing

and I was reminded how much Femmes are not appreciated in my community. Why o why was I the ONLY ONE wearing a corset at the Pride Bash?? And then why is it so necessary to ignore said Femme??

I should just go back to always being a normal spiritually minded dirt dog and forget my totally cool kickass with beautiful breasts in a corset personality.

Yeah that's it....

Now I will return to said reports and stopping my desire to stab a pen in my leg in protest to redundancy....

I cannot believe I have allowed myself to run out of popcorn and orange juice.

(I didn't even know I had a tree, but if I've ran out of popcorn *and* orange juice, I'm certainly out of my tree.)

Did you know that the hyoid bone is the only bone in the human body that is not articulated to another bone?

There. I said it.
