[SH-Discuss] 'Blood moon' will be a sight to behold during total lunar eclipse on Tuesday, April 15th.
For those interested in astrology etc. This will be an event worth your time. Timeline: The first definitive change in the moon’s appearance will come on its upper left edge. At 1:58 a.m. EDT (0558 GMT), the partial phase of the eclipse will begin as the Earth’s dark shadow, called the umbra, starts to slowly creep over the face of the full moon. At 3:06 a.m. EDT, the eclipse will reach totality, but sunlight bent by our atmosphere around the curvature of the Earth should produce a coppery glow on the moon. At this time, the moon, if viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, will present the illusion of seemingly glowing from within by its own light. At 3:46 a.m. EDT, the sun, Earth and moon will be almost exactly in line and the light of the moon will appear at its dimmest. Totality ends at 4:24 a.m. EDT, and the moon will completely emerge from the umbra at 5:33 a.m. About 20 minutes later, the last vestige of the fainter penumbral shadow will disappear from the moon’s upper right edge, and the body will return to its normal brilliance. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/11/tech/innovation/blood-moon/ On Tuesday, April 15, there will be a total lunar eclipse that will turn the moon a coppery red, NASA says. It's called a blood moon, and it's one of four total eclipses that will take place in North America within the next year signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@synhak.org https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [SH-Discuss] Membership Family Plans
Rob, I will try to be brief. The discussion brought up some concerns, and the topic of discussion was member/family pricing. As an aside, we discussed our current rules concerning keys: Non-members are barred from having keys, keys are non-transferrable between members. -also: There is responsibility/risk of a keyholder, and when asked "what's the youngest age a member should be to be entrusted to be at the space alone by themselves in case of accident, emergency, other" the consensus of the small group was 18yrs. I agree Robert is far more mature and responsible for his age, but we felt it time to discuss some general rules, not exceptions. Seeing Robert is intending to be chaperoned to the space by a parent, this is not a conflict, except for the key part, and we felt that fit nicely into the "family membership" pricing discussion. Technically, his membership, -if going under the student clause would be $15. If an adult family member joined, his membership would drop to 5$ and the first adult would be $35, the second adult $15. I wouldn't have worded "nice stuff" so much as sharp and pokey if the wrong end is used for the wrong thing. This is a makeshift electronics lab/workshop, not a padded romper room (envisioning Mcdonalds play area). We are all delighted to have Robert join, but did not fully think through all the aspects. We all know Robert wouldn't be riding his bycicle here, or being dropped off while mom goes to the grocery store. So I apologize for the wording coming off as an attack on you and your wife's parenting skills or to your son. We all feel that he should be encouraged and nurtured as much as possible, but want to make sure we are setting some healthy/reasonable boundaries. If you are willing to willing to work with us on this minor growing pain, I think we can settle on a reasonable solution that doesn't include 100x more fire extinguishers. Again, all of this proposed has not been voted on by the membership group, just discussed by our subcommittee, and released for general discussion. best regards, On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 12:37 AM, Robert Rybicki wrote: > Sorry for the double post.

I do feel that Chris can be impartial and has been with me before, much like I think I can try to be impartial when moderating. Still, I agree with you. Chris and I share a mutual associate who is professionally trained in conflict resolution. She is also in the speaker's bureau queue for a session on those techniques for next month. She's offered to mediate things at the space before, and since she's not a member and I only interact maybe once or twice a month, I think she could be impartial enough. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@synhak.org https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [SH-Discuss] Calling a Special Board Meeting
I agree that removal is inappropriate .I also think that mediation between you ,Andy and Chris is inappropriate because Chris as your close friend, whether he is biased or not, would be viewed as a biased party. I feel that if mediating is to happen we should seek out a mediator who is not a close friend to either of you. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@synhak.org https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[SH-Discuss] Dialysis machines.
Just an FYI & in conjunction with Torri's request. I will be removing the two dialysis machines from the space this coming week. Until then and as per the instructions written on the side, you may remove any component from inside the machine and monitor housing, but the aluminum frame, slide out trays and aluminum skins are "do not hack" . And Devin, I did not get a response from my text so I figured I would repost it here. I will also be picking up the aluminum cart that the milling head parts have been setting since the move. So please, if you haven't already done so, clear off the cart and if its in the way please put it back by the dialysis machines. Thank you. Take Care & Have fun Always.

Re: [SH-Discuss] Membership Family Plans
Rob These policies have not been consensed on yet they will be on Tuesday. This was just a proposal written up by a small group of members trying to hash out the family membership which then evolved into the discussion of the key. I am glad that your wife and Robert will be present at the meeting so they can take part in consensing process. I feel like this is an issue best talked about in person because the concerns discussed can be interpreted wrong via email. -Becca ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@synhak.org https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
