	Hourglass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Factors affecting the amount of time that the hourglass measures include: the volume of sand, the size and angle of the bulbs, the width of the neck, and the type and quality of the sand.
		Since the hourglass was one of the few reliable methods of measuring time at sea, it has been speculated that it was in use as far back as the 11th century, where it would have complemented the magnetic compass as an aid to navigation.
		The hourglass was often depicted on pirate flags where it symbolised the fact that human existence is fleeting, and in England hourglasses were sometimes placed in coffins to symbolise the fact that the "sands of time" had run out.

	Hourglass Device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hourglass Device is an military award of the United States armed forces which is presented as an attachment to the Armed Forces Reserve Medal.
		This is the only case where hourglasses are worn together; in all other cases the hourglass device is upgraded to the next higher award degree and is worn as a single device.
		Prior to 1995, the hourglass device was presented only upon the second and subsequent awards of the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, as in a bronze hourglass for twenty years of service, silver for thirty, and gold for forty.

		The hourglass is sometimes referred to as a sand clock or a sandglass.
		The hourglass maker must test the instrument and fine tune it to measure the correct length of time.
		The same kind of tiny hourglasses which time the nation's three-minute breakfast eggs are used to measure the heating time of steel in an annealing oven, where the metal is "cooked" at temperatures up to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.

		Hourglass is a synthetic real-time application that can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
		First, make sure that Hourglass is correctly estimating the frequency of the timestamp counter on your processor -- look at the reported MHz value near the top of the Hourglass output.
		To fix this, first compile Hourglass with "-O3" to gain the benefits of inlining in the critical loop of the execution trace algorithm, and second, consider increasing the gap threshold value using the "-g" command line option.

	HubbleSite - Hubble Finds an Hourglass Nebula around a Dying Star - 1/16/1996
		This Hubble telescope snapshot of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula, reveals that the object has an hourglass shape with an intricate pattern of "etchings" in its walls.
		The results are of great interest because they shed new light on the poorly understood ejection of stellar matter that accompanies the slow death of Sun-like stars.
		According to one theory on the formation of planetary nebulae, the hourglass shape is produced by the expansion of a fast stellar wind within a slowly expanding cloud, which is denser near its equator than near its poles.

	Hourglass by America CD
		This 1994 release by the duo of Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Buckley may sound at first like a "why bother?" but surprisingly, HOURGLASS is not only not embarrassing, it's actually quite good.
		On their '70s hits, Bunnell sounded uncannily like a sweeter-voiced Neil Young; the decreased vocal resemblance here probably has more to do with the ravages of Young's own vocal cords, but it gives the harmonies much more of their own character.
		The inclusion of a nothing-special remake of their old hit "You Can Do Magic" at the end is an ill-considered exercise in nostalgia, a trap the rest of HOURGLASS admirably avoids.
