wow, some scientists got something right even using an equation!

check this article:

and the following is blatantly ripped from that article to make sure i can find it again:

the equation:

PH = √ (e2 + ve2)(d2) + (cg + dr)2 + π{(4<s>2)(4<p>2)}2 +
(vi + t + te)2 + {(4<c>2 )(4<du>2)}2

(e) is eye contact (1=none; 5=direct) 5; (ve) is verbal greeting
(1=totally inappropriate; 5=totally appropriate) 5; (d) is Duchenne
smile - smiling in eyes and mouth, plus symmetry on both sides of face,
and slower offset (1=totally non-Duchenne smile (false smile); 5=totally
Duchenne) 5; (cg) completeness of grip (1=very incomplete; 5=full) 5;
(dr) is dryness of hand (1=damp; 5=dry) 4; (s) is strength (1= weak;
5=strong) 3; (p) is position of hand (1=back towards own body; 5=other
person's bodily zone) 3; (vi) is vigour (1=too low/too high; 5=mid) 3;
(t) is temperature of hands (1=too cold/too hot; 5=mid) 3; (te) is
texture of hands (5=mid; 1=too rough/too smooth) 3; (c) is control
(1=low; 5=high) 3; (du) is duration (1= brief; 5=long) 3

pretty cool, eh?

the united states of america

will be great again.

once we have leadership that believes in her.

once we have a government that believes in the constitution.

once we get rid of the communists and radicals and the rest.

we are America.

not some stupid grand socialist failed state.

we will rise again.

we will over come.

we will be that shining city on a hill.

we will be what our founding fathers imagined:

a land where all men are created equal before God, where what a man earns before God he keeps before God and tithes from it to God in whichever way he sees fit.

it was Divine Providence that allowed us to become who we are.

it will be Divine Providence that will allow us to become who we were.

it is none more than the Divine Providence of God that has allowed us to come as far as we have no matter the obstacle set in front of us.

we are the United States of America and damn those that would destroy us from without or within.

we shall always be victorious.

michael steele

should resign from his gop job for one reason...

first the reason he should not resign- he's black.  oooooooo  wowooooowwwwoowowowooow  he's black!!!  who gives a crap?

second the reason he should resign-  he is totally out of touch with regular america and what we think.

it may sound silly, but mike really should listen to one hour of any conservative talk radio show a day just to make sure he doesn't say something stupid every time he opens his mouth.  in fact, just 20 minutes of 3 different shows a day, at any time of the day, would help him more than his own brain will.

ya, good ol' mike needs to wrap his head around what the hell is really going on in the world.

wait, he said that afghanistan was obama's idea?

ya, dump the fool.  aint no one gettin over that one.

did i mention...

that i quit smoking cold turkey six weeks ago today?

well there it is.

i still want one now and again, especially when i've a beer in front of me, but it's easily passed over.

you get past day one without a cigarette you have only one question to answer: do i go another day or not?

regardless of how hard it is to quit, if you've made day one, you've done it and you know it;  it's nothing more than not smoking again, or lighting up.  after all, (and i know this for a fact) day two is hard but a whole lot easier than day one because you already got through one so you know you can get through another.  it's not more than actually doing it.

do i make is sound easy?  if i do, it's not my intention.  why?  because the second day of quitting was the worst day of my life and day one was twice as bad.  joke?  NO!

quitting smoking is quite the hardest thing that anyone not physically addicted to any other substance can possibly do in life.  so that means all you ex-smokers (who should know better) and all you non smokers need to shut the fuck up about how smoking is so bad for whoever.  trust me, WE ALREADY KNOW OR WE'RE DEAD.

by the way, i'm not an "ex-smoker", i'm just a dude that used to smoke.  light up anytime you see me.  carry on and be yourself, whoever you may be.  and God bless you.

American.

in every sense of the word.
