Re: THE BEHEMOTH CONTRAPTION... AND THE GIANT LAVA LAMP SPOKE TO THEM. -- Fred, 00:50:19 12/14/02 Sat
What voice spoke to them when the Giant Lava Team's WA-Cert application was filled out in the name of the City of Soap Lake without authorization by City or right to use the City's name as their private umbrella to pursue funding sources for the lava lamp?

What are you talking about when you say that "the Giant Lava Team's WA-Cert application was filled out in the name of the City of Soap Lake" without authorization by City or right to use the City's name as their private umbrella to pursue funding sources for the lava lamp?

What part of MISREPRESENTATION don't you understand pal? (a) Applicant to WA-CERT was Brent Blake, lava lamp project manager of the Lava Lamp Team. Members of Lava Team, Brent Blake or John Glassgo would be required to first obtain a non-profit status in order to be eligible to apply to WA-CERT. (b) City of Soap Lake was not the Applicant, City did not write an application for funding giant lava lamp nor did City apply to WA-CERT. (c) By a long shot, only talk of the team forming some type of lava lamp foundation would not have been enough to float a state application.

Pray Soap Lake does not have an earthquake during chanukah. You've donned your yarmulke having some funukah when...out of the blue the shaking causes total or partial emulsification of the GLOBOLE. HOLY MOLY!

>Pray Soap Lake does not have an EXPLOSION. RE: EXPLOSION & COMPLEX DYNAMICS. Robert Britt, senior scientist, has done some research on stars and compares his study to lava lamps. Massive stars are short lived and collapse in one second. The exploding star behaves something like the lava lamp when casting bubbles of super hot material into space. The Giant Lava Lamp is proposed to go in thecenter of downtown Soap Lake. How will this tourist object's thermal heat be able to be well-regulated? What insures public safety? The heated outdoor object will be subjected to atmospheric changes that will greatly affect it. Freezing weather, blazing suns and shock waves. Without a proper installed regulator and or if heat regulator malfunctions should anticipate history coming home to roost? A LAVA flow repeat on a minor scale? The complex dynamics of the large aged star that explodes claims to mimic the lava lamp as Britt's research shows. History repeats! Can we expect to see Hot Lava flowing down the gutters on Main St in Soap Lake?

From what the manager of the Giant Lava Lamp Team has said last week or so it appears they are cooling their jets, feet are getting cold and realty in the form of performance has set in after that brain flash. I think so. Whether it ever gets built..."is a huge question,"concedes Blake. DAH! Agreed. "There's a lot of hurdles to overcome," he said. DAH! Agreed. Then there is always that last defensive worn-out punch line thrown in. Still, the lava lamp has provided tremendous publicity.....which has helped put Soap Lake on the map. Get real. HOW POSH! Sure, the Omak stampede will be overshadowed by those rushing Lava Lovers. Bar the City gates Katie, up the police force and wait for that huge train to pull in. What's new! Soap Lake has waited for that since it's decline. The freaking out laughing flock that read about the Giant Lava Lamp has stopped laughing by now and the Giant is off their lips.

>Pray Washington State is smarter than to dish out $850,000.00 for a start towards a $25 MILLION DOLLAR Giant Lava Lamp. Source: Time magazine & British Broadcasting Corp. December issue of the Times stated, "States are in crisis. They will have to cut services, raise taxes and try a few tricks." Janet Williams, BBC correspondent, said-- Soap Lake is like many small rural communities struggling to find an identity and stimulate their economics during these tough financial times. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A TIME TO PURCHASE A 60FT GIANT LAVA LAMP? No, it is not the time to waste money on frills, trimmings, facades or a Soap Lake GIANT LAVA LAMP.

Re: THE BEHEMOTH CONTRAPTION... AND THE GIANT LAVA LAMP SPOKE TO THEM. -- Flapper Daze, 21:38:19 12/10/02 Tue
The Grant WA-CERT list is ANNUALLY PRIORITIZED by a committee appointed by county commissioners. I rather doubt they will see the Giant Lava Lamp as a high priority even if it had the blessing of the Pope. Just because Soap Lake City Council gave it's blessings to the pig-in-a-poke without delving into the matter, does not mean the committee who prioritizes will be so simply stroked into blissfull thinking and stilled observation by the art of double speak. One of the Commissioners was on hand to observe at the first project meeting called by Giant Lava Team. We can trust that the dingy doo-dad idea created from a sudden momentary not so brillant burst of light will not dilate the committee's eyes nor will they dilly-dally over where to place it on the Grant list. The Giant Lava Lamp idea is still flapping around. A chicken with it's head cut off still flaps for a while.

Popular Science revealed that the performance of the lava lamp will depend on the quality of the water used and a few experiments need to be conducted to determine just how much sodium chloride is necessary to increase the water's specific gravity. I had a Brain Flash. Why not use our high quality Soap Lake Healing Mineral Water that is high in salts and if the Lava blobs get droopy they will be instantanously healed. Even those dead bugs stuck all over the lamp who are drawn like moths to the flame will be healed of any ails, dead or alive. Imagine, when we work out the bugs we will build it and the bugs will come. Glory to the highest LAVA on the planet!

Glory be to my idea. Soap Lake is made up of 60% elderly. The only outing I get is when my back goes out. We elderly would like to have better representation from our Council, yuppy planners and the wet behind the ears. I do propose we have a more fitting town theme being we are the honorable largest percent. We could even hold a contest at the Senior Center. Maybe that is unfair for us to ask to be included instead of excluded. We are the voices of experiance, do not pass us by. I have a splendid theme. A GIANT BOWLING BALL, un-drilled without finger holes. Soap Lake will be the first. Being most of us can no longer bowl, it represents us better than a Giant Lava Lamp. Not being of the 60s flower children or their children, the only controlled substance we can relate to is the latest kick. We got notice the State no longer wanted to provide enough support for our meds and some pharmacys balked at serving us.

RE: 1992 Edition of Popular Science. RE: Formula for lava lamp. Some comments from cyber regarding the materials and substances that make up the liquid inside lava lamp globe. (ONE) "Use of material and subtances that may be hazardous to you health." (TWO) "I did a Web search, and you might want to try that too -- specifically, to look for safer plans. For now, visit the following sites for plans on lava lamps, but PLEASE, PLEASE, BEWARE! You should SPEAK WITH YOUR TEACHER first and be CERTAIN that you thoroughly understand the DANGERS inherent in building these lamps -- and what you need to do to stay safe and whole. Do not take these comments lightly. The ingredients in some of the "recipes" are carcinogens. Some are quite flammable. If you decide to proceed, do so in a lab and under the direct supervision of your teacher. SAFETY FIRST!!!" (THREE) My comment: Soap Lake is lauded as a Health Resort. Sounds as if a hazardous, dangerous & carcinogenic recipe put into a 60 ft Giant would not be exactly in keeping with the Health Resort Theme at Soap LAke, Washington. (FOUR) Comment was: " My Lava Lamp broke and the contents spilled on my rug. How do I get rid of the toxic fumes?" Maybe a 60 ft Giant Red Plastic Bean Bag in the Center of Soap Lake would be safer!

>Pray that some enterprising inventive grant seeking cliff hanger drops off one of one of our magnificant palisades, landing plop right in Soap Lake wanting to dream with us. I want the City Theme to be a Mammoth Aspirin Bottle. I will call a town meeting. I shall inform the people that is a perfect theme for Soap Lake who seems to always have one blistering headache going or another coming on. If necssary I shall be prepared to twist their arm one on one and also lobby the City Council. Then I also hold private sessions in my pad, late night that is. Like walking on eggshells, don't want to crack it yet. Who cares if the City Council ends up egg on their face, they represent ME. If they don't like the egg-- hid it or take an aspirin if they feel they have a pang or two of remorse. Not my headache!
My plan and theme is the ONLY one Council should consider and why not? Don't question it. Won't need to worry over using a Brand name, we can call the 100ft tall bottle Aspirin or Ass-pirin or Bayer Bottle. Lots of tricks to get around things. Maybe there could be an elevator to the bottle's cap and we could have a colorful swirling aspirin dispenser complete with audio that tells ALL the history of Soap Lake; good fund raiser. Our first release of the date of the Bottle Meeting will be written here in invisibe ink, we do not want to scare anyone off before we start. Isn't that a catchy phrase!

Turlock school evacuated after lava lamp experiment starts fire
The fire destroyed the science room and caused damage to another school room.
Source: KOUR 13 NEWS.
An elementary-middle school in Turlock was evacuated when a classroom lava lamp experiment started a fire.
Fire officials say a power strip ignited the fire at Chatom Union School. Officials say lava lamps that the students were working on for a science experiment were conected to the power strip.
The students were at recess when the fire ignited. The principal says he is glad no one was injured.
Tom Freeman / Principal: "Fortunate [there was] no loss other than material things."
The fire destroyed the science room and caused damage to another school room. Some students were able to return to their classrooms but many were sent home.

Re: THE BEHEMOTH CONTRAPTION... AND THE GIANT LAVA LAMP SPOKE TO THEM. -- MELLOW YELLOW, 13:53:50 12/07/02 Sat
Source: CBH Front Page, Dec. 2, 02. First thought after reading the wording re the "proponents"... "have a hidden adgenda"...was to agree. Second thought, after viewing photograph, was... four trees and a background sign reading "Central Washington Budweiser" surely don't make a forest. Brewer's comment furthered the staged cause. Brewer noted Blake had submitted a completed WA-CERT appliction for a review process. Brewer, EDC, chose his words carefully, avoiding what he knows. Brewer OMITS that the WA-CERT application was false, applied for under NAME of CITY of Soap Lake. Brewer knew about this long before the meeting. "Lava Lamp has the blessing of Soap Lake officials." Seven more trees don't make a forest. The story of the great annointed giant gleaned from an unknown few in a bar setting. Isolated trees, a sagging limb of government and you got it. The Giant Prognathous Prima Facia. All these tactics are subversive, give a one-sided slant in an attempt to influence; staged to favor the promotors. Yellow journalism is not new!

Re: Giant Prognathous Prima Facia -- pro.rogue, 03:53:30 12/08/02 Sun
"Where apathy prevails,corruption reigns." The understated is what the naked eye is meant to miss. The overstated is what the naked eye is meant to see. Power corrupts. The awesome power and technology it will take to create a Giant Lava Lamp is no longer the issue that overshadows the promotion. Big error is in thinking all people can be fooled and lack the ability to see thru the privy. The picture is a ripstop. Prorogation! Promotional Minesweeper. Not all people were born deprived children that lack education. The lava team manager and their community meeting moderator says,..."hold hands." Must have been refering to the Machine. THE PRESS.

Re: Giant Prognathous Prima Facia -- Salesman, 05:13:09 12/08/02 Sun
The lava love story feasts on promo. It is a staged filibustering fireball, no filet mignon when you get to the meat of the matter. Fooling the public? This lopping sanction infers the general public is not considered to be smart enough to connect the dots. NERO fiddled while Rome burned. The orchestra aboard the TITANIC played on while the ship sank. Goes to prove that what is hidden by the controlers, those running the ship or government heads..... can be harmful. It is a sick joke to think a $25 MILLION DOLLAR
PLUNDER will inoculate Soap Lake economy. CBH talks of Lava Proponents having a hidden adgenda.... Economic Development? Whose kidding who? How about that BBC interview and where it took place? The front page picture in CBH reminds us why the legislators put into effect the right to recission law, 72 hours to change your mind. Too many salesman were useing their influence on clients by the wine and dine.

A picture says a thousand words. Bet the beer sales for "Central Washington Budweiser" go up even if the giant lava lamp does not. Getting their Bud sign hanging on the front page of CBH has great potenial. It may be picked up by the Associated Press and sent all over the World. Good promo for the Budweiser Marketing Giants!

Leave it to a woman to tell it like it is. Columbia Basin Herald's coverage of the so-called first-of-its-kind lamp and interview done by Janet Williams contained a view from a woman's standpoint. When asked by Williams if she thought the giant lava lamp idea was bizarre, she said, " WE'VE GOT THE BIZARRE PEOPLE. WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE A BIZARRE LAVA LAMP." Sandy summed it up in fourteen words. That a girl Sandy, one for Smart Woman Power.

You ask what is wrong with this picture? When someone trys to sell you a blind horse would they be showing you it's feet? It is not a matter of the couch potatoes being dead. The problem is that wearing blinders has become the standard. People have become complacent, prefer the boob-tube and butterhorns over grassroots participation or the political Soap Lake Circus.

BRENT BLAKE, Giant Lava Lamp Project Manager, says, "WHEN WE BUILD IT THEY WILL COME." WILL ROGERS said something more like this.....get there first and wait for them to come. Be prepared for a mighty long wait before this copious exuding extravehicular will rise to any corkscrew occasion in the near future. Don't hold your breath for the christening.
