When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Let us not on this Memorial Day forget those who gave their all in service to their country…


Moina Michael

We Shall Keep the Faith

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.



Based on the poem:

In Flanders Fields
John McCrae, 1915.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

PJ writes, "…and melts a polar cap in Russia."

Please consider Global Warming.


I will refrain from descending to the lowest common denominator, and make no mention of dimension.


"Do any of you know what it's like to have divine knowledge?"



I sure do because; dowsing, sometimes called divining or water witching, refers to practices said to enable one to detect hidden water, metals, gemstones or other objects, usually obstructed by land or sometimes located on a map. Most commonly, detection is made through the movement or vibrations of an apparatus, such as a Y-shaped twig, an L-shaped rod, or a pendulum. It's just a matter of how's it hanging. Laughing


"He's the handsome one in the middle who is sitting on a mercy seat. He's surrounded by evil heathens."


I think NOT

Let's take a closer look at the work:


The picture area is divided into three panels of equal size by arches and half-columns. The mounted arcades of the frame, the clear contours of the figures, the gold background and the brilliant colors are reminiscent of reliquaries and precious retables worked in brightly coloured enamels and gold.

In their abstract exaggeration, the sharply pointed folds of the clothes are typical of the late phase of the pointed style and therefore of the conclusion of the Byzantine-influenced tendency within painting.

The middle panel shows God the Father on his throne. In his hands he holds the cross with the body of his sacrificed son. Above, there hovers the dove of the Holy Spirit. The cross grows out of the earth, alluding to the double nature of Christ, who is both man and god.

Standing in the side panels are the Virgin Mary and St John the Baptist, who appear as intercessors for humankind. The representation of the Holy Trinity in the form of the 'mercy seat' illustrates the sacrifice of the Son of God, in which, constantly renewed, God's mercy is revealed.

However, he has no mercy for fallen angels, so I will roam the Earth until Judgment Day, then will be banished to Hell. So I never leave home without my tanning oil.

I am oftern asked; How hot is it in Hell ?

So is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities.

#1 If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

#2 Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Paula J. during my Freshman year;

"That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and so Hell is exothermic. Ab aeterno. Drunk


You are in a bar having a drink with Try when he proposes a wager.

"Want to play a game?" he asks.

"Sure, why not?" you reply.

"Ok, here's how it works. You choose three possible outcomes of a coin toss, either HHH, TTT, HHT or whatever. I will do likewise. I will then start flipping the coin continuously until either one of our combinations comes up.

The person whose combination comes up first is the winner, and to prove I'm not the cheating little coyote you're always making me out to be, I'll even let you go first so you have more combinations to choose from. So how about it? Is $10.00 a fair bet?"

You know that this fallen angel is a skilled trickster and usually has a trick or two up his sleeve but maybe he's being honest this time Shocked . Maybe this is a fair bet Twisted Evil .

While you try and think of which combination is most likely to come up first, you suddenly hit upon a strategy which will be immensely beneficial to you.

What is it Question

Needless to say TTH has already been taken!!!

Tryagain,


I am very curious what this immensely beneficial strategy is. The coin flips are independent. All the possible combinations will have the same probability of occurring except for TTT and HHH which have slightly lower probability.

Using a trial series of length 4, the possible flips are (with names):

0000 a
0001 b
0010 c
0011 d
0100 e
0101 f
0110 g
0111 h
1000 i
1001 j
1010 k
1011 l
1100 m
1101 n
1110 o
1111 p

the possible options to pick are:
000 = 3 (a,b,i)
001 = 4 (b,c,d,j)
010 = 4 (c,e,f,k)
011 = 4 (d,g,h,l)
100 = 4 (e,i,j,m)
101 = 4 (f,k,l,n)
110 = 4 (g,m,n,o)
111 = 3 (h,o,p)

Although all of the middle options have the same probability of occurring independently, the probabilities of the others are changed whenever one occurs. We want the total probability of the area covered by our 3 options to be largest.

We can do this by recursively picking an option with the largest number of "letters" (which represent a combination that it appears in), and then crossing out those letters on the remaining options and picking again the option with the largest number of letters.

There are multiple solutions to that...one solution is

001, 110, 010, 011

However I would not describe this as "immensely beneficial", I think its only a slight advantage...

I was telling someone about this blue riddle guy who comes up with math I am trying to understand. Anyways I told that person I hardly understand this blue guy.
So, that person said to give you this as a riddle. I know what the equations mean but, I don't know how to get there. I am a female so I need directions Laughing Laughing

    start from here: E=MC*
    to end up here: S=?30df

* means squared
? means square root

What is normally used to show those symbols?

Try i wish someone could figure out what hell would be like so my X-relatives would know how they are going to live. (why are people afraid of lilol me,,, i'm innocent as the day is long,,, you know what that is like don't you? I have a recurring dream that all dammed people shrink when they think about a good person. Very Happy Wonderful post you gave us,,, i shall be contemplating it for a while. Scuse me for a bit~ OtwotheO. Make everyone take their own inventory thank you. No-one get's out of hell until they take their own inventory.

I think hell is absolute fear of one's own exixtance along with nothing that is good,, especially in thought,,, can you imagine??? I wish God would give to all Ceasears' that which belongs to them. OtwotheO!
