General Mumble – Slobbercloth
Taken from the “It’s All Sid’s Fault” EP. An EP made in 10 hours, as challenged by Sid. Grab it free here: generalmumble.bandcamp.com The sudden ending is because the song is made to stab straight into the next song on the EP. I couldn’t be bothered to make a not-suddenly-stopping version. The EP isn’t without it’s flaws, which is why I’m giving it out for free, but it was a fantastically fun exercise in speed-writing and endurance, since I pretty much sat at FL Studio all day long. 175bpm Obligatory Links Dump BANDCAMP (download my albums!) – generalmumble.bandcamp.com FACEBOOK (I’ll post every song and album release here) – www.facebook.com TWITTER (listen to me be mundane) – twitter.com TUMBLR (I blog stuff, also ask me questions) – generalmumble.tumblr.com DEVIANTART (Most of my graphic design, song arts, wallpapers, etc.) – poowis.deviantart.com SOUNDCLOUD (WIPs sometimes, full songs sometimes, utter dross sometimes) – soundcloud.com GOOGLE + (I don’t really use this much) – plus.google.com PONYSQUARE (Give me a hug) – ponysquare.com FA (I’ll post my non-pony music here and that’s about it) – www.furaffinity.net

FAQ: ? Why do only endermen spawn? And why so many? The farm was built in the End. A strange place were only endermen can spawn. It was built 200 blocks away from the main island and I placed water on every free spot outside the farm. The only spawn areas are inside the farm. That’s why they spawning in a huge amount. ? The video is fast forwarded! Yes, it is. But the timer, too. How do you think the counter can count up to almost 5 minutes in less than 2 minutes? It takes less than 5 minutes to reach level 50. If you still don’t belive me you can use the world download and try it on your own. ? Do you use instant kill? No. They drop down 43 blocks (after the vine break). The fall damage removes 19,5 hearts. Since endermen have 20 hearts there is only half a heart left. That’s why they are one hit kills. ? The wool blocks are missing because endermen can take blocks. No. That was my fault. Since 1.1 endermen can only take the following blocks: Grass Block, Dirt, Mycelium, Sand, Gravel, Clay, Dandelion, Rose, Brown Mushroom, Red Mushroom, Cactus,? Pumpkin, Melon, TNT ? Isn’t that EthoLab/Docm77’s design? No. Docm77 made a tutorial for the farm. But he gave me credits and linked my channel in the description of his video. EthosLab did a different design in his LP. ? It’s too huge to build it in survival. Well, it’s quit some work. But not impossible. We built it on JL2579’s Server. Docm77 built it in his World Tour. And Nebris88 built it on the Mindcrack Server. All …
Building the Parthenon
A video with the still pics taken during the construction of this awesome greek monument. I left everything in there, including a couple of design mistakes, later rectified. Building took place on peaceful mode, majority of materials used were dig out by hand. I had enough stone to build everything, but I realized smooth stone doesnt look very good, so i switched to wool, used instead of marble. I edited in the wool, took a couple thousand units so had no intention to punch sheep for next quadrillion years to get it. Obsidian was used were friezes suppose to be and gold ore for the big east and west frieze on the roof. Gold blocks for the dais and gold ore was also edited in, my world is very poor on gold. Building is an exact replica, at 1.5:1 scale, 50% bigger than in reality. Exact is a loosely used term, since one can place blocks only with 1 meter (3 feet) accuracy. I kept however the proportions of the real thing, 9:4. Final dimensions: 47 wide x 99long x 29 height in the middle. Took aproximately 6 weeks to build.

during the design stage of an electrical installation why do i need to know prospective earth fault current?
Question by spiderb: during the design stage of an electrical installation why do i need to know prospective earth fault current?
Best answer:
Answer by Jeremy D
You would need to know the available fault current of the system in order to properly rate the electrical components. Most all types of electrical switchgear have a fault current interrupting capacity rating. All components must have an interrupting capacity of at least as high as the available fault current.

Q&A: Do electric treadmills and manual treadmills have the same design?
Question by Confused: Do electric treadmills and manual treadmills have the same design?
I bought a manual treadmill. It has a double-flywheel on the front, which is supposed to make it more stable. However, it had a bent flywheel on the left side, which wobbled and made it go to the right constantly, no matter how much I adjusted the belt on each side. I called the manufacturer…they sent me a new flywheel. Took a week. Except for this time, it was bent on the same side as the first, and also slightly bent on the other. They don’t seem to want to answer for that now, but I’m going to get my money back for this thing, one way or another.
My main question is…do electric treadmills work in a similar way to these manual ones? Obviously, they have a motor and it’s ‘easier’ to walk on them because of that…but how are they designed? Flywheels? Mainly I’m wondering if I have to go through all of this ‘make sure each side of the back and front of the treadmill belt line up exactly’ bs. I have a flawed product and replacement part, for my current manual treadmill.
While the manual treadmill that I have would have adjusted properly had the parts not been bent from the manufacturer. But I also discovered that I don’t like the whole ‘adjust each side of the belt on the front and back’. Are electric treadmills easier than manuals, to adjust? I’m thinking about going electric…I’m convinced this manual treadmill company can’t do jack.

Ivor Van Heerden – The Scientist
More at www.levees.org Professor Ivor Van Heerden helped create the storm surge model that warned of New Orleans vulnerability to levee failure. His work and his efforts to publicize this science was responsible for the saving of many thousands of lives. After the levee system failure – until the BP well disaster, the biggest engineering failure in US history – Van Heerden pointed out that the levees failed because of poor design, constructions and maintenance. For this, he was threatened by LSU administrators who said they did not want to lose US Army Corps of Engineer funding. He was in fact fired without stated reason or cause and LSU continues to get grants from the US Army Corps of Engineers which continues to act without meaningful oversight putting thousands of lives and billions of dollars of property at risk.

VINTAGE NEWS10: Thruway bridge collapses over Schoharie Creek (1987)
April 5, 2012 marks 25 years since the collapse of the Thruway Bridge over the Schoharie Creek. As the bridge crumbled near Fort Hunter, five vehicles fell into the water that morning back in 1987. Ten people were killed. After an investigation, faulty design and poor maintenance by the state were blamed for the disaster. To prevent future accidents, New York and the federal government have changed inspection regulations. Here is a story we ran on that day. The video contains footage of remaining parts of the bridge collapsing, as well as then-Governor Mario Cuomo commenting on the incident. Airials of the collapse follow the story.

RESCUED
This video is one woman’s story of how she survived the Army Corp of Engineer’s flooding of New Orleans. The video shows how the New Orleans Police department under the orders of the Mayor Ray Nagin illegally siezed firearms from law abiding citizens rendering the citizens of New Orleans helpless in the chaos that followed the disaster. The video also shows how Congress covered up video tape evidence of how the New Orleans levees failed rather than were over-topped as the media allowed the Army Corp of Engineers to claim for 10 months following the disaster and prior to the release of the video tape taken by the firemen who witnessed the levee failure. The media still equates the destruction of New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina, when the facts are, the destruction of New Orleans was the direct result of the failure of defective levees built by the Army Corp of Engineers under the direct control of Congress. If Congress can get away with this, they can get away with anything. And they will. AzarChristianVideoProductions.com

Q&A: How can a bridge collapse in California due to fire?
Question by lvillejj: How can a bridge collapse in California due to fire?
Are scientist going to try and disprove that the high temperatures of the fire of a gas tanker caused a highway to collapse? Has this EVER happened in history? Is this a coverup to give 911 insiders an example of fire destroying metal? All they have to say now is look at the collapse in California. I would like to see some of the 911 for truth proffesors do their own investigation on the bridge collapse and see if it is possible that the story is botched. Arnold Swarzenegger even said himself that he called a state of emergency to clear the red tape so that they could get this resolved sooner.
