The Bell House, Franklin Park (have never been, but if it’s good for a crowd), Ellis. All good. Always fun to try a new place, and if they can cordon us off in our own corner like Union Hall (for the sake of other patrons, of course), all the better. Besides, we’ll still meet new people since *rob* has taken to picking up strangers at gatherings and bringing them to meet us.
I thought NYC law allowed someone to have 1 roommate, not true? or is that only rent-reg apts?
Hard to believe that to have unmarried partner move in with you in this day and age you would need approval of landlord.
Oh dirty Fannie Mae they have foreclosed on me today
And I’ll never live on Hicks Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found me
For missing a homeward payment
That dirty no good robbin’ Fannie Mae
To the port of Sheepshead Bay
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay
“Yes she can. The lease states who will be living in the apt when you sign it. You can’t just get a roommate later. But you can get married or have a child. (I see rob’s not reading this thread).”
True!! hahaha. Thanks for clarifying responsible landlords 😉
I had to pull away from the OT because I received a call from a company that is interested in using fiber-optic sensors to measure the effect of melting glaciers on the temperature profile of the ocean.
I know you’re probably all wondering -with baited breath – about how fiber optics can be used to measure temperature. Why, I’d be happy to explain. When you sent a pulse of single-wavelenth light down an optical fiber, there is a phenomenon known as “back-scattering”, in which some light is transmitted back. One type of back-scattering is called “Raman back scattering” and there are two components to it. One component is light that is reflected back at a slightly higher wavelength than the original transmission. Another is light that is reflected back at a slightly lower wavelength. It turns out that the ratio of these two forms of backscattering is directly propertional to the fiber’s temperature. How about that??? So, if you hook up the fiber to an optical time-domain reflectometer, one can derive the temperature at every point along the fiber. The fiber becomes a sensor!!!
3 minute break…Lil’ Wayne’s “A Milli” just came on in my Itunes…gotta boogie!

“so rather than re-open old wounds, why don’t we concentrate on inflicting new ones?”
I think we’re in the process, CGar!

Well, talk about a strange coincidence….

OK, everybody, wake up – the lecture is over.
And yes, I’m so off topic it’s not even funny.
But I appreciate the dialogue nonetheless, Legion.
