Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy:

Your propensity for monogamy is medium.
In general, you prefer to have only one love interest.
But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long!
There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering.

Experience Level:

Your experience level is high.
You've loved, lost, and loved again.
You have had a wide range of love experiences.
And when the real thing comes along, you know it!

Dominance:

Your dominance is low.
This doesn't mean you're a doormat, just balanced.
You know a relationship is not about getting your way.
And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom.

Cynicism:

Your cynicism is low.
You are an eternal optimist when it comes to love and romance.
No matter how many times you've been hurt - you're never bitter.
You believe in one true love, your perfect soulmate.
And if you haven't found true love yet, you know you will soon.

Independence:

Your independence is high.
You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love.
Having your own life is very important for you...
Even more important than having a relationship.
Taken from the Other World.
I am reading the book "Science a History 1543 - 2001" by John Gribbin. There was a mathemation who lived from 1768 to 1830 and his name was Fouier and he developed equations that dealt with time varying phenmena, which means he developed heat equations, how much time if takes for things to cool off. So googled Fouiers and found his equations and then did the math for if the earth was 10,000, let me tell you; NO I will show you.

1. I will use present day values (so I will not here any crap about things were different back then, which means that God can not create a consistant system, or he is playing games for the Baptist) of heat production from radioactive decay in the earth produce by 238U, 235U, 232Th, and 40K and has a value of 6.18 x 10-12W/kg (Turcotte and Schubert, 1982)

2. If you only take inaccount for agument sake heat flow from the mantle and crust

(6.18 x 10-12W/kg) x (4.0 x 1024kg) = 2.47 x 1013W

Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction

Q = K dt/dz

k = thermnal conductivity of rocks W/m oC
dt/ds = geo thermal gradiant or "rate of change"
Q = W/m2

total surface of the earth = 5.1 x 1014m2

2.47 x 1013W
----------------------- = .048 W/m2 surface heat flow
5.1 x 1014m2

3.00 W/m o is a average thermal conductivity of rocks

dt/dz = .048 W/m2


500 years will be used as 1/2 life for the radactive elements listed above

Now figure out the decay rate constant labda (ʎ) so we can caclculate the heat producdion of the past

t = 1/2 ln 2/ʎ or

ʎ = ln 2 / t1/2

using 500 years for t1/2 ʎ = 1.38 x 10-3

Hpast = Hpresent x eʎ(t-10)

Hpresent = 6.18 x 10-12W/kg

t - t0 = 10,000 years & ʎ

(6.18 x 10-12) x (e1.38 x 10-3 - 10,000)
= 6.08 x 10-6 W/kg

Hpast x (mass of mantle and crust) = total heat production

Hpast = (6.08 x 10-6W/kg) x (4.0 x 1024kg)
= 2.43 x 1019W

2.43 x 1019W
Q = --------------------- = 47724.58 W/m2
5.1 x 1014m2


47724.58 W/m2
------------------------ = 15,908oC/km
3.00 W/m

Which means if the earth was 10,000 years old the surface of the earth would be as hot as Hell (15,908 degrees Celsius).

New citizenship exam emphasizes principles. MM study hard.
It takes light (photon) from the Sun approximately 8.5 minutes, but from the reference of the photon no time has passed at all. If there was a clock on the photon, "time = 0" or the clock would not start.

The middle bear cub has completed Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC. Basic Training is one of those things that it is you are glad that your did it, but you never want to do it again. I did basic at Ft. Dix, NJ, and that post is nothing but sand. We marched everywhere and it felt you were taking 2 steps forword with 1 step back. Before we graduated, the last thing we had to do was a 12 mile road march with full ruckstack (about 40 to 50 pounds), and we had time limit of 4 hours. By the time we made it back to the barracks, I was dead tired, but there was a Eskimo in our platoon and he was tough. At the end of the roadmarch, as we were recovering( in our beds) the Eskimo(I do not remember his name) was walking around wondering what to do. I think he was the toughest person I ever met.

To me the toughest part of Basic Training was staying awake, and finding time to rest in the restroom. If we were in class and were falling asleep we were to stand up and move to the wall, or stand up and say" ZZZZZ monster get off by back" which we did alot. Since we were always marching, or sleeping or in class (believe me your 24 hours are filled up) it was hard sometimes to find time to go to the bathroom.

I had never fired a gun or in the Army a "weapon" until I join the Army. I am glad I never had to fire on somebody in my 12 years in the military, but I loved going to the firing range. It was fun shooting different types of weapons, and I like shooting the pop up targets with a M16A2, the best I ever did was 37/40, I missed 2, 300 meter targets.

I just wish that the little bear cub would have went in as an Officer, life is easier as an Officer in the Army.

Auto Tuner, I think that this is what I am going to buy. What do you think? Kawasaki’s newest version of the Z1000 offers style, fun, and performance
Sooooooooooooooooo what kind of Hog does Hogrider have?

Sooooooooooo, what kind of Hog does Hogrider have?
Burger update: Whataburger has really delicious bacon, oinion ring, ranch burger right now, I give it two thumbs up. I was talking to a Whataburger representative and she said that in November Whataburger is bringing back their honey barbque chicken sandwich, which is most excellent. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.

Wondering what is happening in Shreveport? Shreveport City Council to consider saggy pants ban. A city council with nothing to do.

I know what I am going to be when I grow up an Quantum Cosmologist and study Loop Quantum Gravity

Hey Auto Tuner, I have been thinking of your concept that we are all dasies and that God is the gardener, that God has the right to pick whatever flower from the flower garden with the consequences of the actions being irrelavant, or of no repercussion. You can not equate the life of a flower with the life of human beings there is no comparision. A flower has no mother, father, siblings, or relationships outside the family body. So when you tell me that God has the authority to pick a flower in reality God is breaking up family relationships, and that if God put together a marriage that is under the Christian umbrella of marriage the marriage is being broken by God; for example when MM said that God took his friend home, that says to me God killed the guy, broke a marriage and left some children without a father. You cannot equate that to a gardener just picking some flowers.

I am buying one of these.

I thought of a new dating system for History: BCP and ACP.

1. BCP -- Before Cell Phones
2. ACP -- After Cell Phones

What triggered this is that I am watching all old TV shows (we have Netflix) that I used to watch, and what I noticed right away is cell phone use in todays TV shows. In the pre-cell phone TV shows the means of communication was the pay phone, or just regular phone.

I had a friend in Grande Prairie that I always played chess with in school. His name was Wayne Showalter, and we always had a great time playing chess, he beat me more that I beat him, but by playing him so much it made me good. When I played other players I usually won. I remember the one chess game where I was getting wiped of the map and then I saw my chance, I scarfice my queen, and by doing the I created a trap for my opponent and I won; such a great feeling-- defeating someone on the chess board. I miss playing chess, I have tried playing over the internet, but it is not the same.

Anyways back to my story, last year I was looking through my yearbooks, and I came accross Wayne's picture, so I decided to "google" Wayne's name to see if I could find him. I came accross a Wayne Showalter, but I was not sure if that was him, but for whatever reason I dropped my search. Then this past Mondy I thought of Wayne again, so I decided to find Wayne's email address and email Wayne so see if this was the Wayne that I played chess with in school. End of the story, it was him. It has been about 35 years since I have seen Wayne, the net is cool.
Euclidean geometry has 5 postulates

1. Any two points can be joined by a straight line.

2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.

3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.

4. All right angles are congruent.

5. Parallel postulate. If two lines intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.

It was by trying to prove the 5th postulate false that lead mathematician's to discover hyperbolic geometry. In fact Jesuit Girolamo Saccheri (1733) I guess is considered the father of hyperbolic geometry, he was trying to do just that.

All through High School and College I never considered that trig was really about objects on a 2-D plane. You plot points on a cartisian x-y plane, and draw your f(x) or object, but that really does not represent real world, because we live in a 3-D world, plus time, so you can consider that we are living in 3-D, space-time existance. From what little I understand of hyperbolic geometry, that is a more accurate representation of the universe that we live in.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Normally you have a problem in a trig math book were you figure out how high the plane is in the air. This formual does not take in to account the curvature of the earth, so what you are doing is finding a close approximation of how high the plane is above the earth. Also the plane is following a curved path, not straight. I need to learn more about hyperbolic geometry.

I am reading a new book -- "The Road to Reality; A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe" by Roger Perose. He is a mathmatician at Oxford ( in England ). I just read a chapter on Hyberbolic Geometry, and it was fascinating (now I want to take a class on HG). There is so much neat math to learn, a person could take math classes the rest of their lives. The mathmaticians that live in the 1700's and 1800's that developed that math that we do today, they were truly geniuses. Once a person had taked Calc, and DE, and other higher math classes, a person can appreciate the development and the thought that went into creating all the different math that exists today. I do, math is cool.

Tonight there was some Country Western music award show tonight (or some kind of country music show),the main caption -- "Country will rock tonight." Since when does country "ROCK"???????!!!!!!!!!! I am offended that country music is being equated with rock music, me being the rocker that I am. We all know that rock music especially "Classic Rock" is tons better then old nasty hillbilly country music. I must admitt though, Faith Hill -- a 10.

Remember there is that old Country Music expression, "sex, drugs and country music." NOT.

We are remodeling our house, I put in a door that has a decorative oval glass middle to the door. When we bought the door, I thought we just bought a door, but the door was framed in and the hinges were already attached. I just had to attach the frame of the door to the framed out opening of the house. At first I thought it would be alot more work then just hanging a door, but this turned out better, because it was easier to install the frame, then just hanging a door and then adjusting the hinges on the door. Gampa's hammer sure comes in handy.

The Corner.

Bless the Beast and Children.

Not for the faint of heart. People that do this kind of stuff do not deserve to live no matter what country they live in.
