The Funnel Cake Theory

2009-09-07T15:34:00.001-07:00

"Funnel cake is like the roots of trees and what if the world was made of funnel cake, mommy? Maybe it is!"

Tubes and branching is however an universal pattern, not so far from some string theorists visions. Here is a quote from Dirk Laureyssens' cosmology regarding the BIG TUBE THEORY (link here):

"This pelastration approach is not contradictory to most basics of the Superstring theory and M-Brane theory. (To us the Kaluza-Klein approach contains anti-unification elements since it creates discrete 'traps' which boundary/brane origin is mystic again.

In stead of simplifying KK makes it even more complex).

When we start from a MAMA-Brane which is unbreakable, and super-elastic (but has it's

limits in stretchability) then the Mama-Brane can create strings, which are thus parts of the brane. The basic 'difference' to all previous scientific approaches is that the Brane (and following sub-branes) is unbreakable.

That's essential. The creation of a string can start on two levels: (1) starting via an outer bending of the Mama-Brane, or (2) starting via an inner bending of the Mama-Brane. (more).

This has implications on the further layering since the center tube will be different. (see layering paradoxes)
Essential is the possibility to couple parts of the Mama-Brane. This goes by complete penetrations (several types), called pelastrations.
This new type of Branification approach explains the essential

boundaries to understand 'gauge' levels of spin. What we call Spin is thus caused by orientation or layer-history.The essence of string theory: 'The subatomic particles we see in nature are nothing more than different resonances of the vibrating superstrings' is also respected in this approach. Resonances are however mechanical string-contacts, and not 'magic' fields."

Cloud computing with protoshare, my tiny panasonic toughbook with go3G my G1, and my data air card, I can truely be free. Just in time for spring in Austin. Screeech....sound of my stary hipster apple comercial dream waking up to 5am stop n go traffic headed to a two hour commute to be on site in an antiquated government office that I share with three other consultants who also miss their kids that were also asleep when they left for work and will be asleep when they get home. Lol. And the funny thing is that we are all so thankful we still have a job to go to.

It was a successful and safe Halloween...we cheated and went to our church (Summit Christian Center) Halloween party instead of trick or treating. It was a huge success. I worried about not being home for the other halloweenies for fear we may get a tree tp-ed or windows egged. But no harm done. It was the most kid based fun that I have seen a church sponsor. I have many thoughts on this idea of churches becoming the new community - safe gathering places, but I won't rant on that now. Needlesstosay, I am happy about the new Halloween tradition and will be volunteering next year to help.

9 months to carry and grow life inside your gut, 20 minutes to have 10lbs of a new human yanked out of ya, 3 days to recover, 6 weeks of a sleeplessness baby care haze and older child adjustments and now back to the work grind. Jacqueline Scout Boone (Scout) born 5/15/2008 8:15am, Ethan Quinn Vasquez (Scout's 5yr old older brother), Richard Ray Boone (53yr old proud father of Scout), and me Debbie LoJacono-Vasquez (the 42yr old tired but very happy mommy). The new world of a new mom, second time around - what a ride. I love my new life. (1-2-3 superhero friends forever)

Last time I organized for a good cause, it was 1982 and I was in 11th grade. I was appointed the meager office of community service leader in student government. I organized only four events over 6 months (Arthritis foundation fund raiser, Cancer awareness smoke out, Goodwill warehouse volunteer run, and weekly nursing home cheer-board game/card play dates). And then I gave up. My close friends came and supported the events, but other than that most 16yr olds at that time in those days lacked my pathetic idealism or interest in anything other than teenage fun. Since then, the only things I have organized have been college team projects and anything I have lead in my career for the Benjamins. So as I read the below email from Barak, you can imagine my itchy guilt. So now I am too busy with my own life - single mom of a 4yr old, 8 months pregnant, and busy as hell working as a private consultant in a demanding career...taking care of me and mine. No community service in me. Justifying it all with cynicism that none of my efforts would make a difference. Oh I almost got sucked into 911 or Katrina volunteering, but I was assured by friends and family that it would be futile...or maybe that was me telling them that. Oh well. Anyhoo, read Barak's email...I hope someday I will do some good.

Debbie --

I want to tell you about one of the most exciting projects of this campaign. It's called the Obama Organizing Fellowship.

When I was a young man, I was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the idea of people working at a grassroots level to bring about change.

I got my chance on the South Side of Chicago, as a community organizer, and it was the transformative experience of my career.

It allowed me to put my values to work and to see that real change comes not from the top-down, but from the bottom-up, when ordinary people come together around a common purpose.

The experience changed the course of my life -- and I want to share that kind of opportunity with you.

That's why we're introducing a program that's going to train a new generation of leaders -- not only to help us win this election, but to help strengthen our democracy in communities across the country.

If you apply and are selected, you'll be trained in the basic organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on. You will be assigned to a community where you'll organize supporters. Assignments will begin in June, and you'll be required to work a minimum of six weeks over the summer.

This program is designed to give you real world organizing experience that will have a concrete impact on this election.

Apply to be an Obama Organizing Fellow and put progressive values to work in the real world:

http://my.barackobama.com/fellows

If you can't take the time away from work or your family that's required for the fellowship program, you can still get involved.

Reach out to someone you know who may be interested in this program, and let them know we could use their help:
http://my.barackobama.com/fellowsinvite
House an Organizing Fellow -- If you have a spare room, you can help by offering housing to an Organizing Fellow near their training or near their eventual assignment. We haven't set locations for all of the trainings and assignments, but if you sign up, our staff will be in touch as the campaign grows:
http://my.barackobama.com/fellowshousing
Support this program by making a donation to this campaign:
https://donate.barackobama.com/fellowsdonate

Being a community organizer wasn't easy, but it was the most valuable education I ever received. It taught me that together, ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

Organizing changed my life, and I hope it changes yours.

Thanks,

Barack Obama

Lovely hungh? No. I can not and will not read any mag about new moms, babies, pregnancy etc. They make me feel like a FREAK. After 16 weeks of this alien take over, I am still not glowing (farting, barfing, sleeping and peeing way too often - YES....glowing, feeling sexy, beaming with excitement and joy, err, NOPE)

Rant on the Brutal Human Animal

2007-12-01T09:14:00.000-08:00

I just saw No Country for Old Men in the theater last night and then later in the evening caught the second half of Gangs of New York on TV (which I had seen before). In addition I saw a trailer for an upcoming film also starring Daniel Day Lewis called There Will Be Blood, which seems to place Lewis near the Mexican border (around the same type of site of No Country for Old Men) about 30 yrs later than the Civil War (the time of Gangs of NY). Anyhoo, the main thing I wanted to remark on is how much personal physical security I take for granted and that in our US 21st century life we talk about how the world is going to hell in a hand basket (which I think maybe every generation in every culture thinks as they age), but how much we don't realize how crazy and savage us humans can and have been. Before the modern law and order, upper middle class Texas existence I live in, dying due to human altercations and violence was more expected common place. No wonder saying what you thought was so coveted as a rare privilege. I'd certainly be dead by now for the stubborn mouthy opinions I have so casually blunted out. And I also take for granted that folks don't want to butcher, maim, or kill others so easily-carelessly. That somehow we all have a need to live and let live, and avoid bloodshed and pain. Hell, I think humans (men mostly, but plenty of women too) are probably more blood thirsty to do each other in more than any other species...okay maybe we are the only species that is so destructive to ourselves (minus some unique behaviors of a few chimp, feline, female eating male insects, and some infanticidal rodent species). Just thinking more like times before now were a lot more brutal for humans and maybe its more like No Human Country for this Sensitive Sheltered Old Lady.
