So Umm...
When she waltzed into the room, the first stimulus of the telerecoptors, his photosensing organs quickly reached threshold potential sending the depolarization wave of the sodiums and potassiums through the retina and into the optic ganglion again triggering the pulse of ions familiar to her form. This wall of charge hopped along the myelinated schwann cells as it passed into the occipital lobe and was there relayed into the prefontal cortex for conscious cognition of her beauty. Following the Axon potential chain triggered by the retina, next came the stimulus of the chemoreceptors in his olfactory bulb and the susequent triggering of his memories he had locked away deep inside his hypothalamus. As he possessed neither a vomero nasal organ nor the ampullae of lorenzini his exogenous thermo receptors did not pick up on the increased temperature of the room when she entered, not having the appropriate elctro or magnetoreceptors he could not detect the electrical and magnetic stimuli of her ever so subtle sino-atrio palpitations. Though being highly attuned to his own endogenous aortic baroreceptors his afferent neurons picked up the impulse, carried it to medulla oblongata this triggered an increase in heartrate and corresponding blood pressure levels. The enervations of the gastrointestinal system merrily fired away, triggering the hypothalamus to secrete its hormone levels, the stomach sufficently parastaltated began turning knots. He desperately hoped that she might at least be faintly cognizant of his proprio receptors. How more polymodal could his senses be? When she left without saying anything it was then that the membrane potentials of his nociceptors surged strong.

So for the above posts I have realized again that I have been misspelling one of my favorite soups. Sorry, corrections to come later, but for now, more cool facts from Wiki:
Ramen ラーメン or 拉麺, rāmen is a Japanese dish of noodles served in broth that originated in China. It tends to be served in a meat-based broth, and uses toppings such as sliced pork (チャーシュー, chāshū), dried seaweed (海苔, nori), kamaboko, green onions, and even corn. Almost every locality or prefecture in Japan has its own variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu ramen of Kyūshū to the miso ramen of Hokkaidō.
62. What is a German hard rock enthusiast's favorite soup band?
Ramenstein
63. What is a famous old time movie about noodle soup?
Singing in the ramen
Still quoting Wiki
- Shio ("salt") ramen soup is clear, almost transparent. It is probably the oldest of the four and, like the Chinese maotang (毛湯), is a simple chicken broth.
- Tonkotsu ("pork bone") ramen is usually cloudy white. It is similar to the Chinese baitang (白湯) and is a thick broth made with crushed pork bones that have been boiled for hours. It is a specialty of Kyūshū and is often served with beni shoga (pickled ginger).
- Shōyu ("soy sauce") ramen soup is made by adding a soy-based sauce to a clear stock usually made from chicken and various vegetables. It is popular in Honshū. A popular seasoning is black pepper.
- Miso ramen is a relative newcomer, having reached national prominence around 1965. This uniquely Japanese ramen, which was developed in Hokkaidō, features a broth that combines chicken stock with a fermented soybean paste. It is often topped with sweetcorn and butter.
Sapporo, from the capital of Hokkaidō, is especially famous for its ramen. Most people in Japan associate Sapporo with its rich miso ramen which was invented there and which is ideal for Hokkaidō's harsh, snowy winters. Sapporo miso ramen is typically topped with sweetcorn, butter, beansprouts, finely chopped pork, and garlic, and sometimes local seafood such as scallop, squid, and crab.
Kitakata in northern Honshū is known for its rather thick, flat, curly noodles served in a pork-and-niboshi broth. The area within its former city boundaries has the highest per-capita number of ramen establishments. Ramen has such prominence in the region that locally, the word soba usually refers to ramen, and not to actual soba which is referred to as nihon soba ("Japanese soba").
What is known as Tokyo style ramen consists of slightly thin, curly noodles served in a soy-flavoured chicken broth. The broth typically has a touch of dashi, as old ramen establishments in Tokyo often originate from soba eateries. Standard toppings on top of chopped scallion, menma, and sliced pork are kamaboko, egg, nori, and spinach. Ikebukuro, Ogikubo and Ebisu are three areas in Tokyo known for their ramen.
Ie-kei (家系) ramen is from Yokohama and consists of thick, straight-ish noodles served in a soy-pork broth.
Hakata ramen originates from Hakata district of Fukuoka city. It has a rich, milky, pork-bone tonkotsu broth and rather thin, non-curly and resilient noodles. Often, distinctive toppings such as beni shoga (pickled ginger), sesame seeds, and picked greens are left on tables for customers to serve themselves. Ramen stalls in Hakata and Tenjin are well-known within Japan. Recent ramen trends have made Hakata ramen one of the most popular types of ramen in Japan, and these days several chain restaurants specializing in Hakata ramen can be found all over the country.

So True. This one comes by way of Dave Berry.
-- Gifts for Men --
Men are amused by almost any idiot thing -- that is why
professionalice hockey is so popular -- so buying gifts
for them is easy. But you should never buy them clothes.
Men believe they already have all the clothes they will
ever need, and new ones make them nervous. For example,
your average man has 84 ties, but he wears, at most, only
three of them. He has learned, through humiliating trial
and error,that if he wears any of the other 81 ties, his
wife will probably laugh at him ("You're not going to wear
THAT tie with that suit, are you?"). So he has narrowed it
down to three safe ties, and has gone several years without
being laughed at. If you give him a new tie, he will
pretend to like it, but deep inside he will hate you.

Hmm, it seems I need to work on my awkwardness a bit. Moreover, I think I am over represented in the computer bit, but seriously UNDER represented in quite a few areas. I mean come on non mutually exclusive or exhaustive choices, no ALL of them options! As per dating they stop at a year sans date, There have been times where the wait interval between dates was ones of years. Their reading/book options did not include for multiple books over 300 pages, phone books, dictionaries, phone books, or even as I have said the all of the above option. They asked me who created Battle Star Galactica--and I assumed Ben Bova the author of the original book series, of which they did not have an option for, or for his sequal Black hole. They allowed for only ONE of the many ways in which Aristotle was wrong. They did not ask in what I could code. And what is with the one choice options, that don't even make sense? They don't have tried out for Jeopardy and nearly actually got on Jeopardy. Moreover again I cannot believe they do not make reference to the most classic of movies. Where's the Monty Python man! Show the love. In the pick one out of the six catagories they need more "Screw this group options" I would personally trade all of group 2, 4, 5, and 6 for an extra blip on group 1. Ah well, I can still revel in my nerdom status, even if it isn't where I rightfully belong, but oh well I guess they can't please every one. ;)

The daily dose of Macgyver
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be
offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin
a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount
of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of
affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately.
When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating.
Under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our
authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as
the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as
the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much
radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much
as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we
receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the
Sun, so we can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will
heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to
the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much
heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for
radiation, (T(H)/T(E))^4 = 50, where T(E) is the absolute temperature of the
earth (~300K), gives T(H) as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell
cannot be computed ... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the
fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means
that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We
have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.

Equations of the Universe part 2
So my latest pondering when something like this: "What is the means to salvation? Is it by faith, or is it by works?" I know, I know there are oodles and oodles of scripture on the matter, but I wanted to test it empirically. Faith and salvation are a little tricky to define, but work--physicists got that one covered. Its absurd but we'll start with the physics definition of work. Work (w) is Force (f) times Distance (d). According to Newton Force is f=ma where f has already been defined m is mass and a is acceleration, but thanks to Einstein and his e=mc^2, we can rewrite force as f= (E/C^2) a where C is the speed of light. Now a is the acceleration, which is the change in velocity over time. But acceleration, as an example, in the case of a circle, can also be the change in course over time and the change in time is time. We will call this dK/T where T is time and dK is our change in Kourse (I would have used C, but that was taken by light already so K = course (Clearly it must be the German spelling)). Thus force is (EdK/C^2T). But remember it is not force we are interested in. It is works. And while we are here let us also remember as Einstein suggests that space and time are one thus d=T. Which replaced into our earlier equation leaves us w= (EdK/C^2T)*T (I will leave the T in the equation even though it cancels as it will be important later.) But remember we are interested in the "good works" so we will need some additional definitions a little closer to what we are seeking. E is our total energy and is the sum of our energy devoted to works (E(w)), thoughts (E(t)) and deeds (E(d)) . Thus E = E(w) + E(t)+E(d). Let us also consider what does it mean for us to change our course spiritually. What does dK/T mean? It means we must over come something. We must change something about ourselves. Notice that it is over time. That means it matters little if our change is only temporary it must be long term. It is this term that explains sin and Satan in our equation, for as we see if dK/t= if we never had to over come anything nor change anything about ourselves, if we were perfect from the start absent of free will a zero is thrown into the equation which in a few moments we will see will have disasterous consequences. So what does it mean to do good works? w = [((E(w)+E(t)+E(d))*dK] T/ [c^2T] Thus the net total of our good works is equal to the sum of the energy we have spent on works, thoughts, and deeds of a spiritual nature. This is multiplied by how much we have overcome, how much we have changed and grown over our lifetime divided by a very large constant--keep this constant in mind it will become important shortly. Using what we have derived in the last post the impact (I) = Quality * Quantity. Ah but what is our impact? Our impact is salvation (s). How do we measure the quality of faith? I would suggest there are two terms to this equation F(G) faith in God and F(s) faith in the son. Now at this point I would like to point out a few things. In every depiction of either Christ or the father there are always halos of light. In every description and encounter with them they are often described as being wrapped in or coming down from or emitting pillars of light. God is also described as being omnipresent. Omnipresent means he is in all places at all times. The only way you can do this is if you can stop time. the only way you can stop time is to travel at the speed of light, C (look to Einstein for the proof of that one.) But, since God, the father and the son are 1 in purpose, and 1 is the son of the other (you know which is which) might that not also suggest that F(s) = C as well? If we assume it does and use this term as a measure of the quality of our faith and use our works as the quantity then we have an expression relating most of what we know about religion. s = F(G)*F(S)*[((E(w)+E(t)+E(d))*dK] T/ [c^2T]. Thus, if I am right, our degree of salvation is equal to our faith in God, multiplied by our faith in his son times the sum of our energy devoted to their works, thoughts, and deeds. We must over come sin (at least 1) The T term remains because it is multiplied by the length of our lives notice that the Ts cancel, thus it does not matter if our life is long or if it is short, but the T on top must equal the T on bottom. We cannot cut our life short lestwise they will not cancel i.e. you are perfectly allowed to commit suicide but you are cutting short your life equation. Notice also that if either faith in God or faith in Christ is absent 0* anything =0 "first among these is to love thy god and to love thy neighbor" "The first article of faith is faith is Jesus Christ" they are also the first terms in our equation. They are also linear not regulated by constants as our other terms are. Notice also that individually we could forgo works, thoughts or deed so long as we did not have none of them yet the more of them we have the greater is our reward. Notice also that all of our works, thoughts and deeds are divided by C^2 = 1/8.9875517877x10^16 which accounts for 0.0000000000000000111265005605th of our end result. So, if you think you can get to heaven by works alone you had better get started. But remember even a small faith in God the Father and Christ the son yields bounteous rewards, in fact remember earlier where we postulated that both F(s) and F(G) =C this means that if you live a full life and if you have full faith in both of them the equation is simplified to s= C*C *[((E(w)+E(t)+E(d))*dK] T/ [c^2T] where the Ts cancel as do the Cs leaving us only [((E(w)+E(t)+E(d))*dK] the energy we have invested in others and the things we have overcome. Thus if you have faith the only thing that matters is how you treat other people and what you have made of your self. Good luck! Godspeed. Keep believin' and get cracking on them works.
Equations of the Univer part 1
So first of all here's the line of thinking that lead up to my grand
discovery. I was walking out of the bookstore and I saw a poster
advertising the US Marines. The ad ran something like this Superior
Thinking always exceeds superior man power. This lead me on a math
quest plotting thought power versus man power and integrating the
thing. Also if taken as a system thought power and man power is an
unstable dynamic. A positive feedback loop is created if thought goes
from an individual to a group, whereas a negative feedback occurs if
the reverse is traveled. Any way, from this I began thinking What was
the total power of man power and thought power. My thinking was thus
and for 2 hours now I have yet to find a hole in my logic (you are all
welcome to help look(Tear his theory down bwa ha ha ha! I know is what
you all should be thinking.)) Anyway, power is work divided by time.
P=W/T. The magnitude of work is simply the magnitude of the force
time the distance. W=Fd And Force is the Mass times the Acceleration.
And mass is simply the quantity of the something you have. putting it
all together one gets Power equals
((Mass)(Acceleration)(Distance
this equation for ideas. Now ideas may have mass based on the number
of ions that passed through you brain to make that idea, but let us
instead replace mass with "the effect that an idea has (E)" Since mass
is just how much of something you have how effective an idea is is
roughly equivilent to how massive it is (its a stretch but roll with
me) Thus P=EAD/T Now distance divided by time is the velocity we can
then replace d/t with V. Leaving
us P=EAV. Now momentum, once going how hard is it to stop, is
mass times the velocity MV remembering we substitiuted E for M thus EV
gives us the intelectual momentum how hard an idea is to stop once it
has been unleashed. Acceleration can be thought of as how much was
accomplished how fast. And intellectual power can be defined as what
is the lasting effect of this idea. This generalizes to How long and
idea will continue over time Times the ammount achieved over time
equals the impression left . Both of these together are what makes an impression.
If there is 0 quality it does not matter the quantity you will still
go nowhere. But, if there is an imense quantity times even a little
quality a big impression will be made. Now let's explore and see if
this concepts works in more than just theory. Puns, which is
remembered longer a person who tells one really really really funny
joke, or the person who tells 12,000 somewhat funny jokes? Who becomes
more famous the person who composes one great work or the person who
composes thousands of songs and if those songs are of any qualitiy
that person becomes a legend e.g. Motzart, Beethoven et al. Consider
also politics. If you know no one of power (quality) you will not get
elected. But the more people you know (quantity) the more likely you
will leave an impression. In general the many oft outway the few.
Non point source pollution (polution from every one(quantity) out
weighs the larger more noticeable pollutants of the few (quality).
Microscopic algae produce individually much less oxygen than their
larger counterparts, but their are far more of them. It is the many that are
important and not the few. To become famous you must accomplish much
in a short time rather than one grand idea. It is easier to have a
higher Intellectual acceleration than Intellectual momentum for the same
impression (fame). I invite you to debunk my scheme. Good luck,
accomplish much!
