Thanks!

Hi Julia, any spark will broadcast a "signal" through the air. The 
first telegraph/radio/amateur radio transmitters were simply a spark 
producing unit.


I am sure you have heard the snap of lightning in your AM car 
radio, or the snap of an electric fence when you drove past a field.  
You will only hear the snap on the AM radio frequencies as FM is 
broadcast in a different way.


I have a Sony FM/AM walkman headset. It has a vertical antenna for FM 
but...this is important...the AM antenna is built into the headband.  
Not to get too technical (I'm a ham operator) the headband acts like a 
loop antenna and can be used for direction finding.  When I exactly face 
the radio station (or sparking short in the fence) the signal/volume is 
at a minimum.   If I hear a snap in my headphones (while listening to 
talk radio) I go to the center of the field, or ranch area...tune the AM 
radio to the lowest frequency where there is NO commercial broadcast 
radio station...I>E 540Khz.
Then, slowly turning my body until the snap volume is at a minimum. That 
gives a close directional indication where the short is.


The short MUST be fixed ASAP as the kids won't drink out of my Nelsons 
until they will no longer get a mild zap...


Clear as mud???  It will work to find ANY sparking

Earthquake update

2001-02-28 Thread Frederick J. \(Fred\) Pack
This message is from: "Frederick J. \(Fred\) Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

All is well at Pack's Peak.

When the quake hit, I thought they were blasting at the quarry next to us.
The peacocks started raising a racket and the Fjords started racing in
circles.

Lois called me on the radio and SCREAMED for me to stay where I was.  I DID
NOT notice that we were having an earthquake.  I became concerned about the
horses and why Lois had said what she did.

Then, and only then did I feel the ground moving beneath my
feet.laterallyabout 2 to 3 inches.  No rolling nor bucking, just
moving gently side to side in an even motion and oscillation.

I actually laughed at Lois' hysteria over what I though was a small quake.
I rode out the 8.7 quake in Manila on the 9th floor of the hotel.  That
quake threw the room's refrigerator out through the plate glass doors onto
the balcony of the room.  In the next two days, there were over 50
aftershocks of 7 or better.  It was the only time that I was more than happy
to leave Manila.

None of our animals were injured.  We had no damage to any structures, nor
our 400 foot well.  Just 1/2 mile away, the stone (sandstone) arch entry to
the small city below (Wilkeson) was torn apart and destroyed, causing a road
closurein and out of Wilkeson.  This has since been cleared and only one
pillar of the arch remains.

Our location probably helped us avoid damage, as we are on a solid rock
ridge above the city.  We had to drill through 400 feet of solid rock before
we found water for our well.

A few things were moved around in the house, and a few things got tipped
over by the quakebut nothing broken.

The only thing damaged was Lois' composure.  The Fjords went right back to
doing what they do best.eating.

Thanks to all for your concern for those of us in the area.

Mary,
Someone wrote on this list, some time ago, that he/she stopped the problem
by refusing to approach the horse until it stopped.

One of my girls (mares) had a habit of banging on the gate until she was
fed, WHEN SHE SAW ME COMING with the food.

I tried the suggestion and stopped in front of the gate (on the outside)
until the horse stopped and withdrew.  It only took a couple of
times.voila...no more banging.  She KNOWS I will stop and not feed her
if she does.

(inside)




Ha, ha, ha!!  Like grandma, like grandson!!  Line puts
her foot through the two bottom panels of her metal
panel gate EVERY morning and bangs away demanding her
breakfast!  Same thing at dinner time! At least she
waits until she hears the back door - or until someone
turns on the barn lights - before she starts.  But she
doesn't quit until the food is in the feedbox!  It
annoys me no end, but there is just no easy way to
break her of it and she never actually gets her foot
caught - she's way to cagey for that - so I just 'grin
and bear it'.  Some things/behaviors are worth
changing, others are not. If she's out in a pen with
no metal gate to bang, she just paws and swishes
impatiently until the food arrives.

I thought maybe this behavior would stop now that
she's the only horse - and it did for a brief while -
but now she's back at it the same as before.

Silly Willie Filly (we call her S'Willie) and Pepper from Knutsen Fjord
Farms.

Pepper (Pebermynt, I think) and Willie (Velhemine, again not sure of the
spelling...the papers are in the house and my computer is out in my office),
are progeny of our Susie (C-48) and half sisters.  Pepper is a beautiful,
well mannered 2 year old, and Willie is one of God's most beautiful
creatures.  Both are.magnificent.

I was going to buy JUST Willie, but Willie refused to travel alone.  We got
only a mile from Knutsen's when it became apparent that Willie was stressing
outbadly.  We reversed course to return Willie to Knutsen's and thought
to ship her commercially.

Willie had never been alone before.

It played out like a plot had been hatched between my wife and Peg K.   They
swear it isn't so, but I sensed a vast left wing conspiracy.

I'd been had.  Must be like potato chips.  You can't always buy (eat) JUST
one.

SO..we bought her buddy (and half sister), Pepper (and darn glad we
did.she is beautiful alsoand BIG) and traveled home safely.

They promptly made themselves right at home, investigating all the
hillshaving been raised on the flat.   Up and downround and
round   Such fun to watch.beauty in motion.

Are we happy here?   YOU BET!

We have two more beautiful girls to share our love with.

Like "MoonWise" wrote, Pyr's don't have to be trained to do their job.  It

obedience training.  She came home and trained US.

Our 2nd and 3rd Pyrs would obey all the commands that the "trained" dog will
do.  It is just natural in the dog.

The third Pyr (it was number 2 that we lost) was a rescue Pyr.  A rescue
group found her in the pound at Salem, Oregon.  She had been abandoned by
her owner.

One sweet lady brought her as far as Portland, and another brought her up to
Olympia, WA.  We went to Olympia to be "interviewed" for suitability.  It
was love at first sight.  I sat down on the floor and the sweet Pyr came
right to me and laid her head in my lap...that was it.  I was accepted.

BTW, our Pyrs are royalty up here.  Empress and The Contessa.and they
rule the roost.

I can NOT recommend them highly enough to a person who has room AND a job
for them.  It is NOT a dog that can be confined to a small yard or
apartment.  To do so is only asking for trouble.

Our fences are electrified, not only on top for the horses, but 6" from the
ground to keep the Pyrs in, and other critters that would dig under the
fenceOUT.   Pyrs are roamers.  They want to guard any livestock within 2
miles.

Woe unto the possum that tries to sneak in.  Our girls leave the dead ones
as presents on our front porch.
Also, to Jean Gayle, the Pyrs will NOT exercise your Corgi or Fjord.  They
will just lay around during the day with 1/2 an eye open looking for
trouble.  Although a white dog, they are most often dirt colored, love to
KILL rocks (dig them up and carry them around).  A Pyr seldom needs
brushing, they take care of their coat themselves.

I mentioned that Pyrs are dirt colored, it should be added that-that is only
outside.  When they want to come in, they miraculously become clean.  Just
like magic

Hi all,

Just had to add my two cents   We have two Great Pyrenees bitches (had
three, but lost one this spring due to a brain tumor).  They are the
greatest, most friendly, laid back, wonderful dogs that a person could
belong to.

Our two girls sleep most of the day, but during the nightthey constantly
patrol the property.

We have, among other critters, ducks and chickens loose.  We have never lost
one to anything that walks or crawls.  We have lost some chicks to crows and
hawks.

Our girls leave us presents occasionally.  A dead possum on the front porch
that tried to sneak in etc.

However, if barking keeps you (or your neighbors) awake at night, you don't
want a Pyr.  They are constantly warning predators away from their
territory, calling to each other from opposite sides of the ranch.

We have learned their "upset/danger" bark.  When one lets out that bark, the
other makes a b-line to assist.

Ours come when called (mostly) and heel/follow/etc. on command.  They are
the most loyal dog breed that we have ever been involved with.

Woe be to the intruder on or property, whether they have four legsor
two.  These dogs have an outstanding sense of human character.  A new meter
man/woman can come on the property and the Pyr's will love them to
deathBUT if they decide that the intruder is up to no goodtake the
person down, and sit on them until I come.

The last person that found out the hard way was an ex workman of ours who
decided to show up when we weren't home and help himself to some of out
stuff.  Even though the dogs knew this person, when they decided that he was
up to no good, they took him downand waited for me to come home.

I came home to find the ex-workman flat on the ground with one of the girls
sitting on his belly.  A "almost stolen" radio was on the ground beside him.
We left him that way until the police arrived.

We've never had a problem since.  I guess the "word" got around.

I rely on their judgement too.  If they immediately don't like someone, it
has always turned out that that person was not to be trusted.

Sorry folks, I guess I spent more than two cents here.

In my humble opinion, if you love Fjords, you'll love Great Pyrenees.

A copy of my video was offered to Sandy (in VHS) to include, but she wants a

another master copy. So I have offered my video to those that might want
another perspective of the show.  These I can do on my own equipment,

The last thing I want to do is step on someone's toes.

The still photographs provided at PhotoPoint, for

This message is from: "Frederick J. \(Fred\) Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If you want some prints of the Libby show.for free   Here's How...

Go to one of my albums of the Libby show, click on the picture you want to
get the full size image on your screen.
Windows users, right click on the picture and a Save As box pops up.   Save
the picture to your computer.  MAC users will have to save to desktopBUT
be sure it is NOT saved as a .dat filebut a .jpg file.

go to http://www.imagestation.com/ and click on the box "Join Imagestation
and get 50 free prints".
Join, then upload the pictures that you saved to disk to the site.

The pictures that I shot were in low resolution, so the maximum size for
prints should be a 4x6.

Voila, you get free prints.

I have had an account with Sony for some time and they do good work.  Got
some ball caps and coffee mugs with Fjords on them and some good prints
made.

Prints MAY be ordered from PhotoPoint while viewing the albums.  Check the
pictures desired and click on the ClipBoard icon on the left side of the
screen, then follow directions.  4x6 prints are $.49 each.
I do NOT sell prints myself.   All the photographs in Libby Series 1-4 are
YOURS for the downloading/printing.
I have NOT used PhotoPoint to make prints.  I used them because they would
accept my big files (so far).

If PhotoPoint limits my uploads, I will shift the pictures to imagestation
at Sony.

Making my still pictures available is my way of saying thanks to some very
good peoplehowever I will have to charge  $25 for the video.

As they close their eyes forever to sleep.

Their spirits unbound. On silver wings they fly.

A million white horses against the blue sky.

Look up into heaven, you'll see them above.

The horses we lost, the horses we loved.

Manes and tails flowing they gallop through time.

They were never yours - they were never mine.

Don't cry for the horses. They'll be back someday.

Hi, and welcome Storme:

I learned a trick from Dennis Johnson, owner of Springhill Fjords (who we
just visited and brought home two weanling fillies and a yearling filly).

He uses a "Cake Breaker" such as what is used to cut a chiffon cake to hold
up the mane while trimming.  This is the same thing that Black Americans use
on their hair.  You will often see one sticking out of their back pocket.

By using the tool to hold up the mane to the desired height, you can use
electric trimmers (parallel to the tines) to get an even trim.  Just like a
barber uses his clippers alongside a comb.

As for the shape of the mane, I will leave that to the experts..I am
still learning how to do it properly also.  I might suggest that you check
the available photographs at members web sites.

I don't think the problem will be solved until we wean the baby. She
will be four months old on the 29th of May. We will wean her then, get
the cotton for our ears (to muffle the "screams") and turn on the
"White Noise" generator.

Ever seen a baby nurse THROUGH a fence. We did when our first Fjord
was weaned. Not being completely stupid, we decided that more than a
fence must separate mother and baby. Wasn't much fun listening to the
distressed sounds from the mare and baby.

Oh well, it goes with the territory...

Many, many thanks to all who responded privately, and on the list.

We think we have the problem solved, then the "squirts" begin again.  It

The mare's food has been cut down to reduce the richness of the milk and

RE: Poem for Catherine and Markman

This message is from: "Frederick J. \(Fred\) Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Dear Catherine and all, with special thanks for the poem to Jean Ernest

We lost a miniature foal last week.  The baby had died in the womb and the
mother could not get it out the birth canal.  It took all my, and the vet's
strength, to dislodge the dead baby.

The head was depressed (not nose first) which probably caused the baby to
die before birth.

The head was deformed, with the lower jaw much longer than the nose.  It
probably would have been unable to eat.  Possibly God saw fit to call back
this little creature.  We would have had to make the choice of putting the
colt down.

The next morning, we were sent another baby, a beautiful female Llama cria
(baby), which eased the pain.

Yet, the pain and heartache will never go away.

Catherine, our family grieves with youand any others that have God's
choice creatures removed from their care.

1.  PE_CIH (One week after its destructive payload)
-
PE_CIH was one of the most damaging viruses in 1999 and many people expected
it to be among the most damaging viruses in 2000. Fortunately, the damage
caused by PE_CIH on April 26th of this year was not as bad as expected.
Only very few customers reported data loss and the overall number of
affected systems was less than 20,000 world-wide (compared to over 300,000
in 1999).
While this number suggests that the number of infected PE_CIH systems has
gone down dramatically, PE_CIH still remains a TOP 10 virus. Based on a
statistic gathered within the last 7 days, Trend Micro received over 330
reports of infected systems.

TROJ_MUIE (aka Backdoor.EP) is a new remote control backdoor trojan, based

your system and upload, run, download, or modify files.
Once TROJ_MUIE is executed, it drops two files and then modifies the Windows
system registry, WIN.INI, and SYSTEM.INI. This ensures that the Trojan is
run whenever the system is rebooted.
Since TROJ_MUIE has been reported in-the-wild, we advise all our users to be
cautious about running files they download from newsgroups and other

Our foal, born January 29th, has had recurrent bouts of diarrhea.  These do
NOT seem to be associated with foal heat.

First we tried a series of Pepto Bismol doses.  These stemmed the problem
for a short time, then the diarrhea started again.

We have had a fecal check done.  No parasites.

Then we tried a series of Bismuth doses (Equi-Biz) using 15cc x 3 times a
day for two days.  Again the diarrhea almost stopped.

Now we have removed any grain from the diet (Equine Junior) and diet
strictly of Orchard Grass and mama's milk.
Perhaps we should have the mare's milk checked.  What would we check for?

Finally, she is back on Equi-Biz and ProBios at a dosage of 15cc Bismuth and
10cc ProBios today (without any grain), three times a day.  She has had only
one movement (semi-firm) between 5PM and now (9:30PM). She has been allowed
only limited pasture on VERY short grass, and only for 2-3 hours today.

We would appreciate any suggestions.

This message is from: "Frederick J. (Fred) Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You are correct, except thata slug for the shotgun...called a sabot was
developed.
These will go right through an engine or a 6" brick wall.

During one of the layoffs with Northwest Airlines, I worked 2 years as a
police officer in Bloomington, Minnesota.  We were trained in the combat
aspects of using a shotgun.  Nothing, repeat nothing, can equal a shotgun in
close quarters.

If I had to go after a cougar or bear that was endangering my animals, I
would opt for my riot gun (legal) every time.
I carry the first two shots as 00 Buck, the next two are slugs, the next
four are fleschette rounds.

One of the beauties of using a shotgun is that the rounds will not carry to
the next ranch so the need to ascertain a good backstop (before firing) is
moot.  A shot into the air to frighten away a predator will not come down on
your neighbors head..

The ladies choice of a 20 gauge vs. a 12 gauge is a wise one.  She can
handle the 20, and it carries almost as much punch.when needed.

Sorry list...for the gun stuff.   But a gun is nothing more than a tool.
Used wisely and it can protect you and yours.
I like the analogy of a match.  A match can cook your food.or it can
start a forest fire  Depends on how wisely you use it.

Hi Merek,
I can buy a heck of a lot of floppies for $100.00.  And, it takes less than
three seconds to copy a megapixel picture to disk.

I need no special adapters, cards, cords, or special viewers to look at the
pictures.  Also, I can take a 60 second MPEG movie (with sound) on that same
floppy.

I can annotate, by voice, each picture as it is taken, whether it be a still
OR a MPEG movieand in stereo.

Try that with your camera.

Well since you all are so Digital minded, can you guys tell me if you can

YOU CAN ERASE ANY PICTURE OR MOVIE TAKEN WITH THE SONY (USING DISKS).
 Can you do that.

SEE ANSWER ABOVE
Being new at it I had trouble with my timing. Can you tape over discs you
don't care for?

YOU CAN ERASE ANY PART OF THE DISK...SUCH AS PICTURE NUMBER xxx OR EASILY
REFORMAT THE ENTIRE DISK WHILE IT IS IN THE CAMERA.

ACTION SHOTS ARE A SNAP.  YOU CAN MAKE THE CAMERA SPEED PRIORITY, I.E. SET
THE "SHUTTER" SPEED AND LET THE CAMERA SELECT THE f-stop (how much light the
lens lets into the camera).  OR, you can set the f-stop as priority and the
camera will select the proper speed for proper exposure.

Thanks in advance. I haven't even finished reading the
booklet I was having to much fun with it.

The Mavica will take 40+ pictures per disk at low resolution at 480x640 and
16-17 at high resolution.
Larger megapixel picture in high quality will yield only 4-5 per disk.

BUTfloppies are dirt cheap and easy to stick a bunch in a shirtpocket.
Bust one and you're out pennies.  Bust one of the smart cards/flash storage
and you're out big bucks.

 If you are getting 30 pictures on oen floppy, you must have the quality
level set very low. A single picture from my Sony at max quality is a 150k
or
so file, and that is at 480X640 resolution. maybe 8 fit on a disc. If you
select a better quality level, such as if you were going to print them, you
would get only a few pictures on a disc, 1.4 Megs goes very quickly with
images. Mere

a beautiful little filly.  She looks like she will be a White Dun Norwegian

Hi Patrick! Thanks for the kind words about HORSE-SENSE. ;-)

I can think of several things that might help in this situation.

First, DO talk to your vet, and ask her to check your horse's teeth very,
very carefully.

Second, get a copy of the NRC guidelines for horse nutrition (it's available
in paper form, on diskette and, by now, probably on CD-Rom too) and figure
out exactly what your horse needs -- then compare it to what he is getting.
If, on paper, you are feeding a perfectly-balanced diet and meeting all of
your horse's nutritional needs, then you'll need to dig deeper. This may
involve having your pasture grass and your hay tested -- or, if there are
known deficiencies in your area's soil, it may just mean that you'll need to
purchase and feed a supplement formulated to make up for the specific
deficiencies in your area.

Third, if your vet agrees, try feeding this horse more hay and less grain.
In any case, I would strongly advise giving this horse oats rather than
sweetfeed. There are horses that chew wood ONLY after they've eaten
something very sweet -- and sweetfeed, with all of that molasses, definitely
qualifies. It's quite possible that your horse may stop eating wood and
focus on his hay instead, as long as he isn't getting molasses or other
sugar in his diet.

One warning: if this works for you (eliminating molasses and sugar), be
careful not to feed this horse sugar lumps or mints or cookies as treats,
because ONE sugar lump can be enough to start the wood-chewing again. I
don't know precisely why this happens, but I've seen it happen with more
than one horse. This doesn't mean "no treats", but for horses like this,
pasta (uncooked) is much less likely to bring on a wood-chewing session. And
most horses adore pasta -- I always have a box of medium shells or rigatoni
somewhere in my tack box. ;-)

Good luck! It's hard enough to keep up with the normal maintenance of wooden
stall boards and fences and gates, without the wood-chewing assistance of a
twelve-hundred-pound beaver. ;-)

The "gurus" pointed me to a Microsoft web page that explained the "non

Basically it said:
This change of short date to long date affects nothing more than the display
function and has nothing to do with how the computer will, or will not,
operate.  The internal functions of Windows are still rolling over to the
year 2000.  If you want it to say 2000, instead of 00then change the

Dear Michelle,

This is the poem that Jean spoke of on the list.  I hope it may help you
with your grief.  It has with ours.  This is not only sent privately, but
also to the Fjord list.


Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal
dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to
Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and
sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we
remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy
and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very
special, someone who was left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body
begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green
grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your
special friend finally meet, you cling together in
joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your
face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into
those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your
heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

Equimania

1999-11-06 Thread Frederick J. (Fred) Pack
This message is from: "Frederick J. (Fred) Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Equimania: A serious mental disorder in which occupation with equine and
conjunctive/supportive feline, canine, and caprines interferes with the
ordinary tasks of daily living and significantly interferes with normal
human social interaction, An addictive component present such that patient
congregates only with other equine-dependents and their aggregates.

NO LESS THAN FOUR OF THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE PRESENT TO MAKE THIS DIAGNOSIS:

1. Noticeable deterioration of living quarters of human equine-dependent in
conjunction with superior maintenance of living quarters of equines and
their aggregates.

2. Grandiose component includes preoccupation with the extraordinariness of
the patient's equine/s which flies in the face of reality.

3. Noticeable deterioration of the appearance of patient (personal
grooming) in conjunction with horse grooming preoccupation. Potentially
obsessive
component. (Score 1-5 for level of obsessive component with 5 being most
extreme)

4. Manic deployment of charge card privileges in tack and feed stores
within a 120 mile radius of home. ... and far beyond ordinary means. Sprees
often followed by periods of depression and worry.

5. Preoccupation with detail of hay prices, cutting seasons... and the
prices of apples and carrots.

6. Neglect of personal health and dental care and scrupulous attention to
veterinary care and teeth floating..

7. Maintenance of a growing number of equines and their aggregates either
by breeding or irresistible purchase or both.

NOTE: Talking baby talk to 1100 pound animals is not considered a part of
the mental disease picture.

TREATMENT:

OBTAIN an endless supply of small oblong pieces of green paper. These are
probably marker, "In God We Trust" because only God can really help the

Hi Nancy and Ernie,

The other comments on the board, in reply to your question, are "right on".
I would especially emphasize the two vehicle.  We use a Ford 250 with a BIG
460 cubic inch GAS engine.

Hi - this is Nancy and Ernie from NH - we are in the market for getting our
first truck and trailer - we want a trailer that would house both Sonnie
and a  meadowbrook carriage. We are thinking of getting a Ford F150 and a
gooseneck 2 horse stock trailer. Does anyone have any suggestions about
wether this combination is adequate. We would appreciate any info. Thanks
everyone! Nancy

Hi Merek and the group,

I included the message to reference what was writtenespecially about the
T Shirts etc.  BTW, we got our Hennings from the outfit you wrote about.

FYI, Sony has an internet site where you can send in any picture and they
will make prints, T Shirts, Coffee Mugs, Hats, etc...using your photo.  We
ordered several coffee mugs and several hats with pictures of our "babies"
on them.  Turned out excellent.  http://imagestation.sony.com

All the best to all,

Try this company in Florida for Henning Fjord items. But beware their T-
shirts, I have two of them and as of last year the quality was very poor
They
appear to have been done on a computer printer, with severe banding and
color
mis-registration. The carvings are OK and the prices seem reasonable, I have
several items from them.

RE: alternative treatments/mud

Hi Teressa and all,

We use hot air (two motor) "Circuiteer II (Roman numeral 2) made by Electric
Cleaner Co. Inc of Osseo, Wisconsin 54758.

It is about the size of an old tube type Electrolux vacuum cleaner.  It has
a selection of using one motor or two.  Using two motors will put out enough
air to "stand you upright" at 10 feet.

We bought them for our Llamas (found them in a Llama magazine) but found
that the Fjords love them.  Holding the air nozzle just a few inches from
the coat, cleans the Fjords, Llamas, and Miniature Horses right down to the
skin.sand and all.gone.

Our Fjords come running when they see us coming with the "Circuiteer" as a
"treatment" with one is like getting scratched all over.  Will blast all but
the most stubborn mud cakes right off the horse.  Care must be taken,
however, around the ears so as not to blast the air inside the passage.
When doing the head, we always work from the back of the horse.

They really put out "warm" not hot air.  The air is warmed by the air
passing over the drive motors.

Not cheap, but worth the price.

RE: Fahrenheit - Celsius (off topic)

Hi Saskia,

One correction to your chart, it must have been a typo, 59oF=15oC which is
Standard Atmospheric Temperature for all nautical and aeronautical
calculations.

As a international airline pilot (now retired) we had an easy method for
calculating Celsius to Fahrenheit in our heads:

Double it

Take away 10%

Add 32

As: 10C
Doubled is 20
Take away 10% which is 2.leaves 18
Add 32answer 50F

Works in reverse for F to C

50F take away 32=18
add 10% which is roughly 2=20
half of 20=10

I found a little list in my dictionary:

FahrenheitCelsius
--
212° _ 100° (boiling point)
104°___ 40°
95° 35°
77° 25°
68° 20°
59° 14° Should be 15
50° 10°
41° 5°
32° 0°
23° - 5°
14°-10°
5°_-15°

To calculate Fahrenheit to Celsius: 5/9 (°F - 32)
The inverse: (9/5°C) + 32

I hope this helps someone... I have it next to my computer from now on!

Happy Fjording!

Saskia who in wet and muddy Belgium (about 5° C - 41 ° F) suddenly realizes
that you are all very cold!!! except for our PAV's Lisa and Jackie! :-)
