			Very nice weather this evening. I decided to practice some with my camera.
I like it pretty good. What do you think?

			Nice shot.  I like it.  It would make a great desktop background.  Edit:  I just checked the source photo.  It's huge. 2816 X 2112 pixels.  Nice photo.
I took a photo yesterday but didn't venture out of the house due to the hail.  It looks like you are having much nicer weather than I am.

			yes, it makes a nice background.
These photo's are 6 mp. I can make 12 mp photos now, with the newer version of this camera.

Looks just like my sky line, tree tops all the way around.

Still would be way too large. It's not worth it and I think the 500 character limit is part of the software.

			http://goo.gl/ Makes pretty short ones
I think the shortest I've seen up to now are the ones from qr.net
Don't know if this is unrelated enough, but this decorative assembly (:(), is made from parts I designed for a high efficiency QEV. Sadly I never got to machine 1 of the 3 parts (there are 2 of each part in the picture). The problem is that I no longer have access to any machine tools or the high grade aluminium originally used in this design.

Goes well with the dodgy decor...

			I'd probably find out the chamber volume, input some numbers in to HGDT until you get a similar chamber volume and then model the burst disk 'disk failure' as the pressure required to open the piston valve. Wont be perfect but it's the closest you can get I think.

			Yup. The opening time for a valve on a piston hybrid is so tiny, it might as well be a burst disc.

			Use ggdt and put max pressure of your hybrid mix in as your pressure. You can set the temp im not sure what the temp is in a hybrid i think its something like 4000*f, should be pretty close.
