Joel344 - 14 Aug 2005 00:16 GMT I had no idea that dinosaurs were around five thousand years ago. What is scary is that in a recent poll, 42% of Americans believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old.
That's something else I never learned.

discover: Were Dinosaurs on the Ark of Noah?
Yes. From a biblical standpoint, it is extremely clear that God create all land animals on day six of the creation week (dinosaurs are lan animals), and that He gathered two (male and female) of each kind o land animal into the ark.
Therefore, dinosaurs were included in this group. This is reinforced b statements in Genesis 7, which say that all animals with the breath o life came by pairs into the ark.

In 1380, John Wycliffe produced the first complete English translatio of the Bible, while the more notable King James Translation (Authorize Version) appeared in 1611. At this point, the translators of Hebrew di not have an English word equal to tanniym (meaning “great lizardâ€) so they typically used the word dragon. Tanniym is found 25 times in th Old Testament, including in Genesis 1:21. In this context, the word i used to describe the creation of great ocean-dwelling creatures Various translations treat this word differently:“And God create great whalesâ€
--King James Version “And God created the great Sea monsters†--New American Standard Version “So God created the great [sea creatures†--New International Version and The Living Bible
Of the other 24 uses of the same word, the King James Version use dragon 22 times. Other translations use words such as sea serpent reptile, ravening monster, and crocodile. Over five and a hal centuries after the first English translation of the Bible, Richar Owen, aware of several dinosaur fossils unearthed in southern England gave these massive creatures the name dinosauria, from Latin, meanin “terrible lizard.†This name first appeared in a paper that h presented to the British Association for the Advancement of Science published in 1842

Well, the guy that Joel quoted is quite sure of when the dinosaurs got started:
"From a biblical standpoint, it is extremely clear that God created all land animals on day six of the creation week (dinosaurs are land animals), and that He gathered two (male and female) of each kind of land animal into the ark."
So where do alligators and crocodiles fall -- on day five? Five and a half? Are they land or water creatures?
Perhaps in the rock strata there is a clear line between day five and day six. A geologist could help. ;-)

Joel344 - 14 Aug 2005 11:49 GMT In fact, there is lots of fascination about the scientific aspects of this. One of the current buzzwords in paleontology is cladistics.
DEF.
A system of biological taxonomy based on the quantitative analysis of comparative data and used to reconstruct trees summarizing the (assumed) phylogenetic relations and evolutionary history of groups of organisms
This replaces the older Linnean taxonomy.
As example, turtles are anapsids, dinosaurs are diapsids, while humans are synapsids.
ANAPSIDS .. Primitive reptile having no opening in the temporal region of the skull; all extinct except turtles
DIAPSIDS .. Reptile having a pair of openings in the skull behind each eye
SYNAPSIDS .. Extinct reptile having a single pair of lateral temporal openings in the skull
..or humans ..This definition is incomplete.
CONNECTION WITH DENTISTRY .. is of course how our orofacial structures have evolved and developed.
This was a small portion of a paleontology course I took in the sprin
of 2005. On a larger scale, when discussing whether dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark, there is lots to discuss. Beliefs are great, but mainl in the area of cosmology, religion, and the like. What prompted thi discussion? The rise to prominence of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senatro, Rick Santorum
a very dangerous man.
This points to discussions about stem cell research, and delving int how to reverse spinal cord damage. To my way of thinking, if there is God, he is saying,
"Yeah guys, go for it!"
That is my BELIEF anyway.

Here in California, the home of Ronald Reagan's widow ( a strong proponent of stem cell research), we recently passed a bond issue to support stem cell research in the state. So regardless of what the Federal government may do, we will have non-federal funds to support research within the state.
You have lots of good universities in Canada. This may be an opportunity for them to recruit researchers if the U.S. starts lagging behind.

Sigapore has already lured big wig researchers from the 'States. They've built a whole University around stem cell research. That is both regenerative and cloning. Why all these countries? Except for Great Britain, there are no ethics committees. The Brits obviously _do_ have ethical stops in place, but it is nothing compared to what GWB did to control research in the US of A.

That would be sculptible with dental drills, and then I'd treat the underside with (what else?) the Danville MicroEtcher Mark IIA. Then I'd use a weak wood glue to place it in. I don't remember what we used as glue when we changed the nut on my old beat-up Telecaster. I wonder seriously if we just didn't glue it at all...

Glue is not necessary to place a new guitar nut if the fit is good. a little Elmer's if you want to secure it from shifting would be ok.

Yes... if you're usind Super Slinkys like I was at that time, you couldn't stretch them enough so the nut would slip.
> Do you still have the Tele ? what year model ? Never knew the year. It was a Tele that was converted into an Esquire (God knows why; maybe the front pickup was broken). It was painted black (ugly, but nice effect when you played at night in low lighting). I don't have it anymore, and I regret it. I let it go because of the sound: it just didn't give that Fender clean back pickup sound. Some of the frets buzzed even after I worked on them. and as you must know, you can't change the height of the older Tele bridges. So it was probably quite old.
I regret it because of the TOUCH. If I had it today, I'd send it to you and say: FIX IT.

The bridge is so short, does material changes effect sound >transmission to the belly of the instrument very much? Alot depends on wether we are discussing electric v. acoustic.
The bridge on guitars is ~3 -3½ inches. It provides two distinct functions, first is to create a 'stop' that determines the length of the string, the other is to transmit vibration to the body of the guitar. A semi dense material provides the best transmission. Hence, ivory, bone, etc... because it vibrates easily,
Most electrics have metal bridges and the pickups (sensors) pick up the vibrations. On acoustics the bridge is part of the bridge assembly that transmits the vibration to the top of the guitar.
Metal nuts were once popular (esp. brass) but these have largely fallen out of favor.

The guitarist I referenced (Andrew Schulman) claims that a fossil ivory nut makes a big difference. He's kind of a techno-geek on guitars (though a player, not a luthier) and is fond of cutting his own nut and saddle blanks. He's also an expert on nut compensation, which is pretty arcane stuff to me. I can vouch that bridge saddle material makes a difference. I'm a bit more skeptical about nut material.

The saddle is part of the bridge; some are attached to the top, some float. I'm most familiar with acoustic flattop bridges. Even there, many saddles are glued in, but some are held in by pressure from the strings. Many archtops have some unusual and varied designs. Now I just learned something; there are wood compensated bridges on this page:

discover: Were Dinosaurs on the Ark of Noah?
Yes. From a biblical standpoint, it is extremely clear that God created all land animals on day six of the creation week (dinosaurs are land animals), and that He gathered two (male and female) of each kind of land animal into the ark.
Therefore, dinosaurs were included in this group. This is reinforced by statements in Genesis 7, which say that all animals with the breath of life came by pairs into the ark.

In 1380, John Wycliffe produced the first complete English translation of the Bible, while the more notable King James Translation (Authorized Version) appeared in 1611. At this point, the translators of Hebrew did not have an English word equal to tanniym (meaning “great lizardâ€), so they typically used the word dragon. Tanniym is found 25 times in the Old Testament, including in Genesis 1:21. In this context, the word is used to describe the creation of great ocean-dwelling creatures. Various translations treat this word differently:“And God created great whalesâ€
--King James Version “And God created the great Sea monsters†--New American Standard Version “So God created the great [sea] creatures†--New International Version and The Living Bible
Of the other 24 uses of the same word, the King James Version uses dragon 22 times. Other translations use words such as sea serpent, reptile, ravening monster, and crocodile. Over five and a half centuries after the first English translation of the Bible, Richard Owen, aware of several dinosaur fossils unearthed in southern England, gave these massive creatures the name dinosauria, from Latin, meaning “terrible lizard.†This name first appeared in a paper that he presented to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, published in 1842.
