Will do, although it'll have to wait until this evening when I get home from work and have books that long laying around. Here at work I'm mostly surrounded with brochures and technical papers that are only a few pages long, if that long. Likewise, my MP3 collection is on my computer at home...

The line could be operated with one energized conductor with the return path through the earth, which has a much lower resistance to direct than alternating current. In this case, or with a grounded return conductor, the line is said to be monopolar.

In addition to the lower cost of dc transmission over long distances there are other advantages. Voltage regulation is less of a problem since at zero frequency [lower-case omega]L is no longer a factor, whereas it is the chief contributor to voltage drop in an ac line.

I did four sentences, only because the fourth one was the kicker for me.

I listen to mostly metal and punk, but if I had to guess, I would think God will show up more often than the devil, counter to what most would expect. The one instance of either I can think of is "I'm Gonna Be Your God" by Slayer as a parody tribute to the Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog." So the current count is God 1, Devil 0. More accurate update later.

What if it's all diagrams?

Mine is God 18, Devil 11.

So...you're only 37.9% pure evil!

What if it's all diagrams?

Pick the next closest book, repeat until you find one that qualifies. I had a Chickasaw dictionary handy, but no sentences on that page.

It's been a hectic weekend. Better late than never...

The topcoat has already formed a skin on the surface as it starts to dry, and as the vinyl gives way, it causes the surface to wrinkle. You might say that you only put on one coat of vinyl and still got a wrinkle. If the wrinkle is only in certain areas (particularly around edges), it is probably because you may have double coated it or got a little additional material on it as you sprayed an adjacent edge. - The College of Wood Finishing Knowledge by Ron Bryze

I don't have any songs with either "God" or "Devil" in the title.

The next in line is my old Grass Valley Model 200-2 Production Switcher Manual (BTW one of the best analog switchers ever made that you could use in an edit suite where the client is paying anywhere from $400 to >$1000/ hr IMHO) and that's divided up into chapters a la technical manual, so in doing a rough page count here's what I come up with, which, coincidently, was one of my fav features.

RECALL USER PGM. If RECALL USER PGM is selected, the effects level of the selected register (various optional and peripheral devices) will be Recalled. This includes: Chroma Keyer hue and luminance clip settings, crosspoint selection on the 4 Aux Buses, current Aux panel delegation, peripheral devices - depending on installation, GPI output triggers, crosspoint disable commands.

This was gold for us as in previous switchers there was no means of storing your setups. Not even on the venerable Grass Valley-300 production switcher that was in every major TV station around the world (and Death Star uber destructo ray controller as anyone who went into quiet hysterics during the viewing of the original Star Wars episode will tell you). It also had a function called STREAMLINE where you could program and "animate" wipes, keys and anything else like moving around little circles to hide faces or other unmentionables. Nowadays you have a tracking program to do that in nonlinear edit and compositing systems.

I do miss those days. Especially if you were doing multi-layer effects. You'd be rolling one-inch VTRs, maybe a beta cam or two, and you'd have all these GPI(Generel Purpose Interface) triggers for the ADO (digital video effects) program med as well as your effects memory triggers from the switcher.
Hit that red button on the4 CMX controller and watch the magic. If you were really good and paid attention, you could impress the client by trimming this or that and repeating everything as fast as he says what he wants.

In a way it's so boring now but I do like the quiet and I can edit in my underwear at home.
