I decided to ask him about some of the instruments listed on the album's liner, with such exotic appellations as "snake guitar, "digital guitar," and "desert guitars." In the case of the first, for instance, I had often thought that given Eno's reputation it would not be out of the question for him to lay a guitar down in the middle of the recording studio and tape the sound of a reptile belly crawling slowly across the strings. He laughed.

My floating-point calculations are acting strangely and giving me different answers on different machines. I'm trying to do some simple trig, and I am #including <math.h>, but I keep getting ''undefined: _sin'' compilation errors. You forgot to define the sin() function. Most math texts should cover it in some detail. The easiest way to fix this should be: double sin(double x) { return sqrt(1 - cos(x) * cos(x)); }

I love it when people bring things that represent their lifestyle and interests. From snakes to being photographed in your beloved car, I am trying to show the real you and if a studio shoot all in white is not you then let me know and we will work out something together.

Unprovoked, a snake will not bite a person. Virtually all cases of snakebite occur when a snake is disturbed, either deliberately or accidentally.

This is not an exact science, but here are some suggestions to get you started. For the high E string, take a violin D string and tune it up a whole step. For the B string, tune up a violin A string a whole step. For the G, you can use a regular violin G. For the D, use a viola C and tune it up a step. For the A, take a viola C and tune it down a minor 3rd to A. And finally for the low E, use a violin F and tune it down a half step to E.

My first guitar was a classical bought at JB Music. My first electric was a pirated (read: fake) Gibson SG also bought at JB.

Lurking" is slang for reading without posting. There's nothing wrong with it, especially when you're new to an email list. It's a good way to get a feel for the kinds of concrete information that readers are expecting to see. You're never required to post to an email list to be a welcome member of the group. Because folkmusic has hundreds of subscribers on several continents (more than many lists you may have already seen,) we don't generally ask new subscribers to introduce themselves.

Carrots are a root vegetable with a high glycemic index of approximately 70. Beta-carotene, which is the pigment giving carrots their color and which is important for Vitamin A synthesis, can be obtained by eating sweet potatoes, squash, and broccoli, all lower glycemic carbohydrates. Small amounts of carrots can be added to soups, stews, salads, or crudités to garnish or add color.

Brumation, otherwise known as overwintering, is a winter cooling period where snakes retreat underground to spend the cold months in relative "biological shutdown." It is during this time that their metabolism slows, they stop feeding and utilize stored body fat, and their reproductive processes recover from the past breeding season, synchronize, and prepare for a new season.

Proper identification of a snake should be left to an expert. Unless you are experienced in such identifications, it is best to avoid any snake. Although many snakes are both beneficial and harmless, some nonpoisonous snakes are capable of inflicting serious bite wounds. Information on the poisonous snakes of Texas is available from Texas Parks & Wildlife.

In Indiana we have about 35 snake species. Only four of these species are venomous. Most snakes that you find in your yard are harmless. Garter snakes are one of the most commonly seen snake. The garter snake is perfectly harmless and very beneficial. Garter snakes are easily recognized because they have distinguishing horizontal stripes that run the length of their body. These snakes can be several different colors ranging from green to yellow to brown.

Because the Snake River is right in our backyard, so to speak. The Green, New Fork, and Salt Rivers as well as Yellowstone all involve a certain amount of travel. Naturally we prefer to fish the Snake (assuming it's fishing well, of course) when possible. Less driving = more fishing.

As far as I know, snake mites are not transferable to humans, but I could be wrong. They can kill your snake however, if the problem is left untreated for a long time. One method you can use to get rid of mites is using a No Pest strip in a plastic container with holes punched in it for air exchange. In cages less than 50 gallons a 1/2 inch by 2 inch strip is used for about 12 hours. In bigger cages a 1 inch by 2 inch strip is used instead.

About force feeding, don't wait until your snake is very thin before trying it, but remember that they can go for a while without food, as long as they are not getting too thin. Force feeding is stressful for the snake, and sometimes it makes them less likely to eat on their own. But if your snake is getting pretty thin, you'll probably want to do it as soon as possible then. I force feed snakes two different ways. One way is with prekilled rodents,and the other way is tube feeding.

Feeding regimes will change throughout the life of your reptile. When it is a hatchling, it will require more frequent feeds as it is growing. We recommend that you feed a hatchling every week to 10 days. This allows the animal to utilize the food to grow. At around a year or so, we recommend that feeding is slowed down and spaced out to around two weeks. This allows the animal to continue to grow but not as quickly.

To best explain the most common causes of this problem, lets follow the path of the strings. We begin at the tuners. If the they are poorly made, loose, or installed incorrectly, the strings will slip. Next, the strings can bind at the nut if the slots are cut at the wrong angle or incorrect width. Now the strings pass over the entire neck and this is where intonation is very important. If it has not been properly set, you will notice some chords sound in tune and others do not.

If i haven't called you, its not ready. My goal is to provide quality repairs with reasonable turnaround times. Many of my repairs are done just two or three days. Some repairs take longer than expected and calling me repeatedly does not make me work any faster.
