1075.0. "Interesting rock photo." by CADSYS::COOPER (Topher Cooper) Tue Jun 27 1989 16:52

    Some readers may be interested in the cover photo on the current (23
    June, 1989) issue of Science.  It shows a mineral specimen in the form
    of an oriental "yin-yang" symbol.  It is formed of grains of garnet
    imbedded in schist.  It was caused by the rotational deformation of
    the schist while the garnet was forming.  The original specimen is
    about 2 cm across (a bit under an inch).  Very striking.

1075.1	Rock, you say?	ELESYS::JASNIEWSKI	lingering deep within your eyes	`Wed Jun 28 1989 09:45`	5
	And I assumed it would be some picture of Jethro Tull... Joe Jas
1075.2	Not Rock - Roll!	AIRPRT::PAINTER	Celebrate life!	`Wed Jun 28 1989 20:39`	13
	Re.1 (Jas) Um...er...ah... Joe, I think you're in the wrong conference. You might want to try Heavy Metals instead. (;^) Yer friend, Cindy
1075.3	yin yang?	IOENG::BERUBE		`Thu Jun 29 1989 14:02`	7
	If anybody is adept at typewriter-art could you possibly show me what a "yin yang" symbol looks like and what it's for? Thanks. Norm
1075.4	ah, the twoness of it all....	LESCOM::KALLIS	Anger's no replacement for reason.	`Thu Jun 29 1989 14:27`	20
	Re .3 (Norm): Rather than typewriter art, it's easier to tell you how to construct one. Make a circle with radius R. Lightly draw a diameter. Bisect the two radii coming from the circle's center. At each bisection point, strike a semicircular arc so that the circle looks as if it's surrounding an "S." Color one of those teardrop-shaped figures black (so you have a black and a white "teardrop" fitting together and forming a circle) and you have a Yin-Yang shape. In some versions, at the midpoints of the radii, there are contrasring dots of the other color (white on the black half and black on the white half). The Yin-Yang principle is both very simple and highly complex, depending upon which levels mof symbolism one wishes to explore. Steve Kallis, Jr.
1075.5	Yup, someone was bored....	BTOVT::BEST_G	Food is Not a Toy	`Thu Jun 29 1989 14:39`	29
	This isn't the greatest, but combined with Steve's desription there should be no question left. . . . . . . . . * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . o . . . . . . . . . This is about the best I could do quickly. I know you must have seen this before somewhere so use your imagination. One side would be white with a little dot of black in the middle and the other black with a dot of white. It has been used to describe many balancing situations, like good vs. evil, and I've also seen it discussed in reference to sex and the second chakra, Svadhisthana (more simply, the sex drive). The discussion I read was concern- ing the balancing of sexual energy. On one hand you could be having too much sex (not good) and on the other hand you shouldn't be a monk (not good either - according to this source). The key is to find a happy medium... and ask him how he got so happy! :-) Guy

1075.8		USWAV1::JOLLIMORE		`Thu Jun 29 1989 15:28`	2
	<----- _Thick as a Brick_ and _Passion Play_ are not 'easy listnin' IMHO jay ;')
1075.9	further down the hole...	LEDS::BATES	Troppe vite per farne una	`Thu Jun 29 1989 16:08`	4
	...or Aqualung, for that matter.... Gloria
1075.10	how about really going down the hole...	CXCAD::WILLIAMS		`Thu Jun 29 1989 16:32`	7
	RE: the last few on Jethro Tull It's real interesting though that at the last Music Awards.... Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for best Heavy Metal album of the year. Jethro's album.....Crest of a Knave. john
1075.11		VCSESU::COOK	Leon, the unseen force.	`Thu Jun 29 1989 16:57`	8
	re .10 the award category was Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. The crowd boo'ed the decision furiously. /prc
1075.12	HARD CORE IRON MAIDEN FAN (who also likes Tull)	USACSB::CBROWN	Huggieboo	`Fri Jun 30 1989 02:15`	10
	Tull might be hard... but he ain't heavy. IRON MAIDEN or perhaps JUDAS PRIEST when compared to Tull will bring out the not so subtle differences between the two types of music. in a meager attempt to bind this in with DEJAVU. There is a note in HEAVY_METAL (#582) that is discussing how different chords cause certain emotions. I dont have the node info but i'm sure some METAL HEAD out there will have the info. ;-)
1075.13		VCSESU::COOK	Leon, the unseen force.	`Fri Jun 30 1989 10:52`	7
	re .12 IRDEV::HEAVY_METAL. /prc

1075.15	Oops!	AIRPRT::PAINTER	Celebrate life!	`Fri Jun 30 1989 18:54`	9
	Re.1 (Heavy Metal as opposed to Rocks or crystals) Oh dear...and it was just an innocent little comment...(;^). I had no idea there really WAS a Heavy_Metal conference! I love "Passion Play". Thanks for reminding me of that album and it's been a while since I played it. Cindy
1075.16	The hard part of the earth's crust, (informal) a photograph	ELMAGO::AWILLETO	Beat those heathen drums...	`Wed Jul 05 1989 11:39`	6
	I always thought Pink Floyd has an INTERESTING ROCK PHOTO on their "Wish You Were Here" album... "So you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell. . ." T
