  • R Ray Kinsella

    Back is the old days of Ireland, people where generally known by their occuption. Like Séan the Baker, Siobhan the Shipwright, Sorcha the Hooker and Thómas the Particle Physicist. Eventually that got shortened to Séan Baker etc, and thus we have the names in circulation today. Now I wonder if we where to return to the old ways of doing things, what would our names be ? (you don't have to use your offical title, just a one/two word general description of what you do). Verily I thus am named 'Ray the Handheld Wizard'. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

            I have often wonder this, but have no idea what Wulff means or where it originated form. A quick search turns up... A geometric shape used to display seismic signatures of fluid transport An equilibrium minimal surface for a crystal or drop which has the least anisotropic surface free energy for a given volume. It is the anisotropic analog of a sphere. In the case of a sessile drop, the Wulff shapes becomes the Winterbottom shape (Dunlop and Magnen 1999, p. 31) I see. Raphael Cerf has established a Wulff construction for the supercritical percolation model in three dimensions... Has he now--good for Raphael. A series of fishing flies Brown Wulffs are effective all summer long on the streams of the Jemez Mountains, on the Pecos River, and on the small streams in the Weminuche Wilderness in southern Colorado. North of the border, size 12 works best, but in New Mexico, try sizes 14 to 18. They must be my native African relatives. (Think about it...) He usually fished a Royal Wulff or a Blonde Wulff because it floated well and he could keep track of it on the swift currents So we were royalty hey? When should you use a stimulator, a hopper, or a wulff? Use whatever hits your spot. So therefore I must conclude that my forefathers were probably royal mathematicians with a taste for exotic sex toys, whom people tried to drown regularly. ;) I honestly haven't a clue... ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave …

                This post (to which I am replying) appeared as a reply to my earlier post seemingly instantaneously after I posted. This got me wondering if I blacked out for a minute ;) "Mistah Vail?...I lo...los...lost time." Well then I noticed the time of your post was before mine! What kind of computer voodoo are you practicing :) Regards, Dan

                                          I have often wonder this, but have no idea what Wulff means or where it originated form. A quick search turns up... A geometric shape used to display seismic signatures of fluid transport An equilibrium minimal surface for a crystal or drop which has the least anisotropic surface free energy for a given volume. It is the anisotropic analog of a sphere. In the case of a sessile drop, the Wulff shapes becomes the Winterbottom shape (Dunlop and Magnen 1999, p. 31) I see. Raphael Cerf has established a Wulff construction for the supercritical percolation model in three dimensions... Has he now--good for Raphael. A series of fishing flies Brown Wulffs are effective all summer long on the streams of the Jemez Mountains, on the Pecos River, and on the small streams in the Weminuche Wilderness in southern Colorado. North of the border, size 12 works best, but in New Mexico, try sizes 14 to 18. They must be my native African relatives. (Think about it...) He usually fished a Royal Wulff or a Blonde Wulff because it floated well and he could keep track of it on the swift currents So we were royalty hey? When should you use a stimulator, a hopper, or a wulff? Use whatever hits your spot. So therefore I must conclude that my forefathers were probably royal mathematicians with a taste for exotic sex toys, whom people tried to drown regularly. ;) I honestly haven't a clue... ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Sonork ID: 100.9977 Dave …
