Moutain Bike'n...
A friend and I went to Pocahontas State Park on Saturday morning and went moutain bike ridding. It was about 43 degrees and sunny. We did not go to Chippingham Park as it was in a bottom and with all the rain, we were afarid thatr it would be flooded out. It was a great Cardio Workout!!! We rode about 4-5 miles down the main trails and totally missed the single track hard stuff. We have planed another time to go and do that stuff. We were not really sure where it was either!~ I really want to get into this more. it is better for me health wise and great fun to boot.
Here is a link to a map of the park: Map of Park

The 'Evolution of Math Instruction' over the past half century.
Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for a set "M" of money. The
cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots
representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of
production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M". Represent the set "C"
as the subset of set "M" and answer this question: What is the cardinality of
the set "P" of profits?
Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
$80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think
of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering
the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels "feel" as the logger
cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.
Teaching Math in 2000:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is
$120. How does Arthur Anderson determine that his profit margin is $60?
Teaching Math in 2010:
El hachero vende un camion carga por $100. La cuesta de productiones......

Richmond VA Drivers...
These people CAN NOT Dirve here!!!! It is freaking AMAZING!!! I have been driving to work for close to 4 months at this job and out of the 4 months, there has been a wreck on the Shaco Bottom bridge on IH64 east and west for 5 out of the 7 days of the week!!! It does not matter if it is raining, sunny, snowing, or what kind of weather we are having. There is ALWAYS A WRECK!! It reminds me of Austin and MOPAC 1 and the water testing that they did for an extended period by the Texas DOT. There was wrecks on that stretch or road every morning and afternoon and drivers knew about the water testing!!! Same Bat time, Same Bat channel every freaking day!! I contacted the Virginia DOT and i hope to post some stats on this soon. I will keep you informed.
CAIO!!

If Operating Systems Were Beers ...
I saw this and thought tht it was funny.
DOS Beer: Requires you to use your own can opener, and requires you to read the directions carefully before opening the can. Originally only came in an 8-oz. can, but now comes in a 16-oz. can. However, the can is divided into 8 compartments of 2 oz. each, which have to be accessed separately. Soon to be discontinued, although a lot of people are going to keep drinking it after it's no longer available.
Mac Beer: At first, came only in a 16-oz can, but now comes in a 32-oz can. Considered by many to be a "light" beer. All the cans look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the ingredients, you are told that "you don't need to know." A notice on the side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan.
Windows 3.1 Beer: The world's most popular. Comes in a 16-oz can that looks a lot like Mac Beer. Requires that you already own a DOS Beer. Claims that it allows you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously, but in reality you can only drink a few of them, very slowly, especially slowly if you are drinking the Windows Beer at the same time. Sometimes, for apparently no reason, a can of Windows Beer will explode when you open it.
OS/2 Beer: Comes in a 32-oz can. Does allow you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously. Allows you to drink Windows 3.1 Beer simultaneously too, but somewhat slower. Advertises that its cans won't explode when you open them, even if you shake them up. You never really see anyone drinking OS/2 Beer, but the manufacturer (International Beer Manufacturing) claims that 9 million six-packs have been sold.
Windows 95 Beer: The can looks a lot like Mac Beer's can, but tastes more like Windows 3.1 Beer. It comes in 32-oz. cans, but when you look inside, the cans only have 16 oz of beer in them. Most people will probably keep drinking Windows 3.1 eer until their friends try Windows 95 Beer and say they like it. The ingredients list, when you look at the small print, has some of the same ingredients that come in DOS beer, even though the manufacturer claims that this is an entirely new brew.
Windows NT Beer: Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the truckload. This causes ost people to have to go out and buy bigger refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer, but the company promises to change the can to look just like Windows 95 Beer's - after Windows 95 beer starts shipping. Touted as an "industrial strength" beer, and suggested only for use in bars.
Unix Beer: Comes in several different brands, in cans ranging from 8 oz. to 64 oz. rinkers of Unix Beer display fierce brand loyalty, even though they claim that all the different brands taste almost identical. Sometimes the pop-tops break off when you try to open them, so you have to have your own can opener around for those occasions, in which case you either need a complete set of instructions or a friend who has been drinking Unix Beer for several years.
AmigaDOS Beer: The company has gone out of business, but their recipe has been picked up by some weird German company, so now this beer will be an import. This beer never really sold very well because the original manufacturer didn't understand marketing. Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. It originally came in a 16-oz. can, but now comes in 32-oz. cans too. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared lashy and colorful, but the design hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now. Critics of this beer claim that it is only meant for watching TV anyway.
VMS Beer: Requires minimal user interaction, except for popping the top and sipping. However cans have been known on occasion to explode, or contain extremely un-beer-like contents. Best drunk in high pressure development environments. When you call the manufacturer for the list of ingredients, you're told that it is proprietary and referred to an unknown listing in the manuals published by the FDA. Rumors are that this was once listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference as a tranquilizer, but no one can claim to have actually seen it.
