Generic Crystalline Glaze fired to 2318°F/1270°C and held at 1070°C on the first firing, 1080°C in the second firing.

This test was an attempt to find out if temperature was off in the different kilns used for the dwell-temperature exercise. The test tile was fired a second time, dwell temperature was raised on the second firing.

Kiln: RIKER

Firing Schedules:

150 to 250, hold 1 hour (omitted in refiring) 999 to (100 degrees below peak temperature)  2218° F 108 to (peak temperature) 2318° F / 1270°C 999 to dwell temperature =, 1958, 1976°F / 1070, 1080°C Held at dwell temperature for 4 hours

#10FeetTall and #BulletProof are feelings that CAN happen in an instant. All it takes is a little #unfiring and #unwiring of those #negativeemotions and #refiring and #rewiring of #positiveemotions

memory

Memories are the refiring of the same neurons that fired when you first had a particular thought or experience. You can actually see changes in the neurons when memories form. Synapses can grow stronger as you learn. But memories are often messy and unreliable.

Memories aren't like photographs: Each time you remember something, it comes out a little different. We forget most things, and usually only remember something when we are reminded of it. That's why we keep souvenirs; a single seashell can bring back memories of an entire beach vacation. Without cues like this to remind us, many things would be forgotten. But there are advantages to forgetting things: Our brains evolved to summon memories that relate to what's happening right now, not to swamp us with random details.

You can often remember things better if you group them into “chunks.” For instance, thinking about a frog, a hat, an umbrella, and a pipe takes a lot of short-term memory if you try to remember each individually. But imagine the frog wearing the hat, holding the umbrella, and smoking the pipe, and you can remember it as one image.
