There are missing tiles in the floor, the roof is severely damaged,their septic system is failing and spewing sewage all over the yard, but they have a big screen TV.<br />

Television is the worst thing that happened to the world. It's how the big corporations control the masses.<br />

The Russian communists called religion the opiate of the masses.<br />

Thursday: off (school)<br />
<br />
Friday: Kickboxing without weights, 30 minutes on the eliptical and 10 minutes of abs.<br />

A woman on JDate recounted that her son married a shiksa and then had the baby converted.<br />
<br />
That is SO WRONG!!!!!<br />
<br />
It goes against morality and Judaism. You cannot convert a baby. A baby cannot make up it's own mind and it's plain WRONG! And I got slammed for saying that.<br />

<br />
I'm not going to do the glider on the days I kickbox. I'll still do the eliptical and I'll add in 10 minutes of abs and 10 minutes of other floor exercises. The glider aggravates my knee if I'm on it too much. But I don't want to cut it out completely, it's great for my butt and obliques. I think I'll be OK using it twice a week.<br />
<br />

<br />
Tuesday:<br />
Off<br />
<br />
Wednesday:<br />
30-60 minute kick boxing workout (depends on which DVD I'm using) with weights, then 20 minutes on the glider and 20 minutes on the eliptical.<br />

Thursday:<br />
Off<br />
<br />
Friday:<br />
20 minutes on the eliptical plus 20 minutes on the glider, and 10 minutes abs.<br />

It was a beautiful day!<br />
<br />
Once I got out of Chimayo and passed Chamita onto the highway the roads were great. It doesn't look like denver got much more snow than we did.<br />
<br />
<br />
The motel room smells like maple syrup. What was I expecting for $35.00 a night? It has a little kitchenette so I can go to Whole Foods (apparently there's no TJ's in Denver, WTF?) and get some real food rather than eat at restaurants all the time. I had luch in Alamosa, it wasn't a great experience.<br />

If you look carefully you can see that there is a big spike in the global maximum in 1998 that dips back down in 1999 and then gradually increases upwards throughout 2000-2008. The 1998 spike is the reason some people say that global warming stopped in 1998. The spike was caused by El Nino. El Nino’s will push global temperatures up by approximately 0.01 degrees Kelvin (0.018 degrees Fahrenheit). In 1998 we had a much larger El Nino anomaly and the global temperature spiked much higher than that and then dropped back down to normal the next year. The blue line is flattening out from 2005 and I’ll explain that in the next picture. </span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">This picture shows sun activity. The sun has been much colder than it has been in the past century since 2005. There is concern that we could be heading into a mini ice age if the sun continues to cool. But temperatures have not dropped because of the green house gas effect. If we go into a mini ice age the green house gasses might help mitigate it slightly. On the other hand, if sun activity picks up, we will be headed for an out of control warming that could end…we don’t know where.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Graph 3 shows changes in radiative forcing of climate since 1750. The zero line represents 1750. CO<sub>2</sub> has increased overall radiative forcing by 1.5-1.75 W/m<sup>2</sup>. CH<sub>4</sub> has increased radiative forcing by 0.8-1.2 W/m<sup>2</sup>. The sun (on the bottom), has increased overall radiative forcing by 0.05-0.3 W/m<sup>2</sup>. That is one tenth of the radiative forcing from carbon dioxide alone. The really big uncertainty we have is clouds. Climatologists believe that the overall cloud effect will be a cooling one. But, they are far from certain. Some clouds have a cooling effect and some have a warming effect and there are so many variables that go into what kind of cloud will be formed that it’s a huge uncertainty.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But there is no uncertainty over the fact that carbon dioxide and methane have increased radiative forcing by 2.3-2.95 W/m<sup>2</sup> while the sun alone has increased radiative forcing by 0.05-0.3 W/m<sup>2</sup>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It isn't only CO2 that's heating the atmosphere. CO2 could, at most, raise temperatures by 1.2 degrees C/K (1.96 degrees F). The problem is that in response to the 1.2 degree rise in temperature we get another 3 degree rise from water vapor. And as I said before, overall cloud effect is uncertain.<br />

Science does not "invent" anything. Science discovers truths (or what appears to be a truth) through experimentation. Technology takes the discoveries Science provides and applies it to new technology.

Septic tanks effect uranium solubility in ground water.<br />

Not just O2. Nitrates (NO3, NO2) and Sulfates (SO4) also have an effect on uranium solubility. Nitrogen and sulfur enter septic tanks in their reduced form attached to amino acids. Septic tanks are anoxic so nitrogen leaves the septic tank as NH4+ and sulfur as H2S. When they reach the leach field they are oxidized to nitrate and sulfate.<br />

They have a negative charge and soil has a net negative charge so they repel each other. The end result is nitrate and sulfate in ground water interacting with the bound uranium in the aquifer and solubilizing it.<br />

We need to get off septic tanks. SHIT! (really).<br />

I found out that he broke up with his girlfriend less than two months ago and they had been together for several years. He sounded very angry when I talked to him about it. He isn't ready for a relationship.Geonitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172571500500973539noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515940157773021374.post-61072781517726710982009-11-08T08:18:00.000-08:002009-11-08T08:18:58.264-08:00איך שגלגל מסתובב לוThat means "how the wheel turns around". It's really referring to cycles of life. Lately I've been noticing that although things do come in cycles it's never a full cycle because I've changed and evolved and have a different view of life.<br />

We'll see how things go with the other guy next week. Right now he is out of town on business.<br />

It's been almost two years since I've had sex (real sex). I need to find someone I can connect to enough. I'm going out of my mind. Why do I have to be so picky?Geonitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172571500500973539noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515940157773021374.post-35307925007024393702009-10-31T16:13:00.000-07:002009-10-31T16:13:16.537-07:00I guess it wasn't meant to beCall me paranoid but I have a feeling our meeting is going to be cancelled. Just a strange feeling I have after talking to him (IM really) yesterday. He seems to have come to the conclusion that I couldn't be happy with a Catholic raised Spaniard. He'd have a point if he was still Catholic. I wouldn;t touch that with a ten foot pole. But he's rejected Catholicism and is Agnostic non affiliated. But if he's going to be looking for reasons this won't work I don't think we stand a chance. I went through that with Ron. I want someone who thinks positive.Geonitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172571500500973539noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515940157773021374.post-6557091994898929112009-10-29T12:36:00.001-07:002009-10-29T12:36:03.579-07:00Bye Bye EspanolaApparently they are shutting down our field office.<br />

Don't panic they aren't firing us. They are going to join field offices to save money on rent. I suspect I'll be working out of Santa Fe soon. I don't know the timeline yet.

I'm starting to think that maybe this was not meant to be. It's a shame because we have a lot in common. He's a hydrologist and works for the state. I think we could be good friends but I'm not sure about a "relationship".<br />
<br />
Maybe I'm putting up the barriers because I'm afraid to get involved with someone else. Maybe it simply wasn't meant to be.Geonitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172571500500973539noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515940157773021374.post-75277985471043680492009-10-27T10:45:00.000-07:002009-10-27T10:45:09.795-07:00What would you do?i went to get lunch at the UNM campus food center in the SUB. There's an Asian place that I go to. They have a relatively healthy inexpensive vegetarian meal that gets me through the day. While I was waiting in line the guy who was washing dishes decided to help the woman who was serving the food. But he just went up and started serving the food without washing his hands or changing his gloves. I debated with myself and ended up going back and talking to him about.<br />
<br />
Two years ago I wouldn't have even realized he was doing something wrong. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that innocence. What would you have done in my place?Geonitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172571500500973539noreply@blogger.com2
