Day 109 - April 19, 2010

 

Standard guitars come with six strings arranged from thinnest to thickest. The sixth string, (the one closest to the ceiling) is the thickest and produces the lowest pitch. But aside from the deep tone it creates, of equal if not more importance is the fact that the sixth string is also used as the reference string for tuning a guitar.

 

When tuning, you see, the sixth string is tuned first, then all the others follow. If you tune one string wrong, the one that follows will be out of tune. You get the picture (pun intended).

 

Life, on the other hand, may be less about tuning, but as the strings of a guitar are interdependent, so are we. How we chose to live our life in turn affects the lives of those closest to us.

The red string of fate, also referred to as the red thread of destiny, red thread of fate, and other variants, is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese legend and is also used in Japanese legend. According to this myth, the gods tie a red cord around the ankles of those that are to meet one another in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way.The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmates or a destined flame.

Life by Jockey Mens String Bikini

Body is made of string that's been woven then tied in two parts at the bottom to make feet. The arms are of made of braided string. The head, covered with tangled string hair, is a round washer covered with string. It has small wood eyes, a wood oval bead nose. Someone didn't want it so they took it to Kent Recycle Center in Carmel, New York and it can be yours free!

Piano strings on a 1931 Steinway M grand piano. The oldest record of wire being made for musical instruments is from Augsburg in 1351. Starting around 1800, the piano began to be built ever more ambitiously, with sturdier (eventually, iron) framing and greater string tension. This led to innovations in making tougher piano wire. In 1834, the Webster & Horsfal firm of Birmingham, United Kingdom brought out a form of piano wire made from cast steel; according to Dolge it was "so superior to the iron wire that the English firm soon had a monopoly." But a better steel wire was soon created in 1840 by the Viennese firm of Martin Miller, and a period of innovation and intense competition ensued, with rival brands of piano wire being tested against one another at international competitions, leading ultimately to the modern form of piano wire.

Hot lasers criss-crossing the field of battle? Hardly. Just a few strands of spider's silk stretched taut, wet with rain drops and dew and gleaming in the bright morning sun.

 

But, if you ask me, lasers'd be cooler.
