Music and memory lane...

If you knew what this meant, it would be soooo coool

Now researchers at UC Davis have for the first time captured atoms in borosilicate glass flipping from a flat triangular configuration with three oxygen atoms around one boron to a tetrahedron, via a pyramidal intermediate.

(FYI and inaction!!)

The sound doesn't work on my home computer...

Happy Anniversary, Harry and Sarah Frishberg and...Beatles, 1965, Bloomington Minnesota, HELP! debut

http://collections.mnhs.org/MNHistoryMagazine/articles/60/v60i05p190-201.pdf

Found this fun Minnesota oriented thingy by happenstance, see first full paragraph, page 192...

I was at the baseball stadium in Bloomington, MN (now the Mall of America site!) when the Beatles took the stage near second base (as far away and as close to as many people as possible).

I was 9.5 years old, and only there because one cousin had a date, so the other cousin, (Thanks Terry!), took me! (That's my recollection,and I'm sticking to it!)  

Our box seats were behind the first base line...pretty much optimal viewing.

It was loud...with female screaming throughout.
We all knew all the songs already, so it didn't matter what they sang anyway.

I had seen the HELP! movie first screening in Minnesota, meeting for the first time many friends I'd meet again 4 years later when I moved there from California!

After the concert, on the way to the car, we were twice trapped by riotous females who thundered down the hall, first one way, Thanks Terry! for thoughtfully shielding me from the onslaught by pushing me up against the wall to keep me from being carried away (for real!)) and then the tide turned, with a supposed sighting of the Fab Four in the other direction...scary!.

I was in Minnesota for the 50th wedding anniversary of my paternal grandparents, the wonderful Harry and Sarah Frishberg!

So, here's To Harry and Sarah's 99th anniversary.
(and, long live Ringo and Paul...)

Always thought it was the same god...

Tough to know the players, without a program.*


Why didn't he just have all the bombs miss too?


Will be tough to live in Europe, come the pogrom!
