Why is a-r-t censored? ;)Because we are all so broke, we can't buy any. :)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Bexar Fan again.

The trainer checked me out today and thinks I might have a slight concussion but said I should be fine. I'm suppossed to get checked again after work to see if I am better or worse.

Great.

[Bigshot628]

Well I WANTED my spring break to start last night with the gig, but my Human Evolution prof scheduled a test this morning. I, naturally, didn't study so on one of the essay questions I simply wrote "I didn't study and I don't feel like BSing an answer. I'm sorry. I did have a great time at my gig however, and you should try and make it out to the next one. Thanks for understanding" - I doubt I'll get credit.

After the test spring break had begun. Smoked a bowl, went to Double-R burgers and now me and a buddy are going to pick up some beer and go play disc golf. Might even make it out to the baseball game tonight.

This is my last spring break, and I get to spend it in Waco. Party Time.

Editing tickets is illegal.

Folks, I got home tonight to find that my wife had already departed for Nebraska. Her Dad has been dealing with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and has not been able to speak or had much quality of life for a few years. Anyway, he went into hospice yesterday. My mother-in-law called today to tell Mrs BF that Dad is not expected to live through the night and certainly not tomorrow.

I am here at the house and waiting with the dogs. When we hear, I'll put the dogs in a kennel and the kids and I will fly out. I don't know when or how long I'll be gone.

Please pray for Mrs BFs safe journey and for the family. Though this has been expected for a long time it is still hard. The man has always been a jewel.

[HappyRebel]

I am sorry Bexar Fan, My thoughts are with you and your family.....

Hey BP, the trees are budding out and spring is in the air here, despite the serious lack of rain. When will you be Texas bound?

Excellent question, and I have no clue what the answer is at this point.

We have the "call the family in ASAP" thing with my wife's dad twice. He has pulled through both times. Tough old guy...

[HappyRebel]

My dad was in the emergency room 3 nights ago, heart rate 43...they did a heart cath and saw he was 85% blocked where he had his triple bypass. So they roto rootered him and added a stint and now he is doing better.

[HappyRebel]

Wow, this place is so busy today, I can't keep up...lol...J/K

Gracious I did not see this. I hope he is doing well HR. I assume they did an angioplasty? Those things are great in terms of success.

Let's try it again then

Sorry about all of the news on the parent front. May God bless y'all.

Sorry Bexar. Fly safely.

[wantsBU2win]

been a long day....wantsy is tired!

[HillCountryBEAR]

Bexar,
Prayers for you and your family.

Lim,
Continued prayers for your and your family aswell.


I wish there was more I could do or say, but nothing is coming to mind out here in my hermit compound.

[golsalax]

Bexar and Limnos, my continued prayers for your families.

Congratulations to Robinson for winning its 3A girls basketball title and the same goes to Midway for winning its 4A title. I understand that Coach Mulkey is on her way back to Ferrell Center after staying the whole game to see Midway win its 7th state title.

[Grace Anne]

That is true, Gol. Vol & attended the game. MacKenzie Robertson won the game ball and then awarded it to her mother. Very sweet.

[HappyRebel]

I hope everyone has a great weekend....

[HappyRebel]

Hey Cowboy, how is your concussion ..I hope you feel better...

[Bexar Fan]

Good morning all!

[HappyRebel]

Hi Bexar Fan, I hope everything is starting to shape up in your world...

[Bexar Fan]

FIL's still breathing, but it is more labored than yesterday. What this means I don't know.

[HappyRebel]

Wish he wasn't going through all that...sorry...

[wantsBU2win]

BF, sorry to hear that. He will be in my prayers.

[Texas Golfer]

Hey, everyone.

[HappyRebel]

Hi TG...how are you today?

[Texas Golfer]

Hi TG...how are you today?

Been a little under the weather. I don't think it's anything serious. Probably just a 24-hour bug...that I'm catching twice in two days.

How about yourself, Darlin'. Are you doing okay?

[HappyRebel]

Doing great, I get a break from the new jail today..its like being on vacation at work....Sorry your feeling bad.

[Texas Golfer]

Thank you. I can't feel bad for very long. I won't let myself because I have a big trip set up for next week starting Friday.

[cowboycwr]

Sorry to hear about everyone's family and I will be keeping them in my prayers.


Happy thanks for asking. My head is pounding.... although that could be the beers from the last two nights with biggy.....

[HillCountryBEAR]

Good afternoon!

Where is the rain????????? errghhhhhhh!

Yesterday I was up bright and early and in line at 6 am for the REI garage sale at the downtown location. No major purchases, but I got some good deals, like UA coldgear bottoms for $11 and a pair or North Face denali pants ($130) for $24. The first thing I grabbed in the mad rush was a 0* sleeping bag marked "Long". Later after the madhouse calmed alittle and I took the time to go through my plunder I noticed that it was a women's "Long". :(. Since chip wasn't there, I gave it to a female friend of mine who happened to be there.

Last night I spent 2 hours doing inventory on my cold weather gear,....still have the outer layer(shells) and fleece to do.

Mrs BF called about an hour ago. Her dad had just passed away in his sleep with a small smile on his face. He just quitely stopped breathing. As a Disciples of Christ minister for well over 50 years, I'm sure he is finally at peace.

I'm not sure when the funeral will be, but that will drive all the plans for the next couple of days. Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts. They are what makes this group special.

At least he isn't struggling anymore. Bexar Fan, my thoughts are with you and your family. I know it's difficult. Be careful on your trip there.

[DONNIE D]

Bexar, I'm sorry about all of this. Wish I would have been around this weekend for you. Tell Mrs. BF I'm thinking about her. Travel safe.

I am on a ferry crossing over to Bolivar as I'm with my mom and my son. We drove past OceanOso in that buolding that looks good and is standing strong. Saw a lot of piers missing and saw the crews putting in new sand on the beach. They are also doing some repair work on parts of the sidewalks.

The weather here is gorgeous, a bit cool and nice breeze.

I will go home sometime this afternoon.

I will go home sometime this afternoon.I stayed there 4 days last week, and yes Oceanoso's is in great shape. Watching the dump trucks & loaders put the beach back in order is a sight. They look like they are building it up at least 4-5 feet. All in all, it's nothing to keep us from our friends. G-Town will always ROCK!!!

[HillCountryBEAR]

good morning all! :)
Prayers continued for those in need.

well I had an interview set for dallas this friday. I had a 9 a.m. phone call from them telling me it has been put on hold. I was supposed to go upto dallas today for another job(which would be in lubbock), but they've never called me back as to where exactly we were meeting. oh well, who wants to work in lubbock anyway!!

all is not lost though,........I got the latest issue of Eastmans Bowhunting magazine in the mail a few minutes ago. This is the episode that details which units to apply for in NM and just so happens the guy I'm putting in with for backpack elk/deer hunts emailed me this morning before I went to the post office about getting together to go over the units. (That was clearly a sign that God does love me and my "to die for" hair afterall.)

[DONNIE D]

Well, guess I'll go put some fertilizer out before the rain comes this week. God, I hope it rains. Since I don't have Hair to Die for like somebody I know, guess I'll put on my ol Silver Belly and ride to town. :)

Everybody enjoy what's left of a Monday.

No Limnos, I'm not whipped yet, she just has a job. :)

[Bigshot628]

Little brother finds out from the San Fran Conservatory on Thursday... hears from Julliard sometime this month.

My next gig is March 19th @ 9 o'clock at Austin's on The Avenue.

[DONNIE D]

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask.

Where does everybody go for Green Beer around Waco? Is there any festivals where you can party & puke green? Lay on the street and waller in Irish Whiskey? Any Fountains they put Green Dye in?

OK, carry on.

Actually, my mom, my son and I parked the car and walked to get on the ferry. We just rode the ferry across to Bolivar and back. I saw a lot of several 18 wheelers getting on the ferry. I saw the lighthouse in the distance.

On the Strand, we ate out at Star Drug Store. My grilled chicken sandwich was delicious and my son enjoyed his big cheeseburger. That place has nice ambience inside.

I am now eating at Olive Garden in Collie Station.

To Bexar Fan and BF, may the grace and peace be with your family as Mrs. BF's dad is going to home with the Lord.

HR, glad to know your dad is feeling better.

I meant to say "may the grace and peace of Jesus Christ". I was using my cell phone to type in my response while eating my dinner at OG.

Vol & I are heading to Tarrant County tomorrow because my mom is having a test on her carotid artery, which is blocked. They are trying to determine whether to put in a stint or just clean out the artery. I'm not sure why they can't figure it out & do it the same day, but apparently it takes two trips. See y'all when we get back....

By the way...somebody needs to announce a new job, a new marriage, a new baby, a lottery win... anything good for a change??? Sheesh...

That's good stuff. I had a bottle of that. A client gave me a bottle of the 18 yr old stuff for Christmas. I was shocked, I really wasn't sure if he even liked me. You gotta like someone to give them one of those.

My son drove in the winning run in his baseball game Saturday morning. Tie game, bases loaded, two outs, bottom of the 7th, time expired. I am very proud of how he handled the gut-check situation. A very clutch liner over the 3rd baseman into no-man's land. Man that thing rolled for a while, and he made it to second, but they likely scored it a single. That was some good HS baseball.

OK guys....this is driving me nuts. Can anyone figure this out and explain it for me? My mind is not working right now.

http://www.blifaloo.com/images/illusions/missing_peice.gif



I can tell you the MATHEMATICAL reason why it is so, but I can't explain how it works out geometrically to make it happen......


Follow along and I'll see if I can explain it....


The first triangle has two smaller triangles inside it---blue and purple. The blue triangle at the top has a width of 5 units and a height of 2 units for an area of 5 units. The purple triangle at the bottom has a width of 8 units and a height of 3 units for an area of 12 units. That leaves the two-colored "rectangular" area from the top that is 5 units wide and 3 units tall for an area of 15 units.


Now, the best way to explain it is that when you shift the triangles around, it changes the area of the formerly "rectangular" portion. In other words, it changes the "rectangular" portion from having an area of 15 units at the top to having 16 units at the bottom, thus the extra space.


Now, WHY that is the case? I don't really know. The two inside triangles have the same area in both larger triangles, so it doesn't make sense to me mathematically why that would be the case. I'm still efforting on that part.

[Limnos]

That is the part that is driving me nuts, but thanks for the post.

Just got home around 7:35 pm. The traffic on HWY 6 was just fine. It was great seeing a lot of bluebonnets mixed with some Indian Paint Brush on the grassy median in Collie Station/Bryan. That is really the most I have seen on my trip down HWY 6 yesterday afternoon and this afternoon/early evening.

GA, hope that would be a bit of good news. ;)

Vol & I are heading to Tarrant County tomorrow because my mom is having a test on her carotid artery, which is blocked. They are trying to determine whether to put in a stint or just clean out the artery. I'm not sure why they can't figure it out & do it the same day, but apparently it takes two trips. See y'all when we get back....

By the way...somebody needs to announce a new job, a new marriage, a new baby, a lottery win... anything good for a change??? Sheesh...

Prayers for your mom and your family.

I was told there would be no math.:(

[GigaBear]

One possible solution upon further examination:


There is no evidence that the two apparent triangles inside the larger triangles are actually triangles. For example, count 5 units from the left and 3 units up on each triangle---the top triangle appears to intersect perfectly with the gridline, however in the bottom example, there is a slight difference.



I really think the only possible explanation is that the initial shapes themselves are NOT actual triangles, even though they may appear to be. More accurately, the top "triangle" might be a triangle, but the bottom one might not be.

[LIQRinPU]

Limnos, Giga is correct, kinda. The bottom figures apparant hypotenuse (it really isnt a hypotenuse) is bowed so its not really a triangle. Its an illusion It is often used to teach Curry’s Paradox.

"I really think the only possible explanation is that the initial shapes themselves are NOT actual triangles, even though they may appear to be. More accurately, the top "triangle" might be a triangle, but the bottom one might not be." Giga is correct here.



"The first triangle has two smaller triangles inside it---blue and purple. The blue triangle at the top has a width of 5 units and a height of 2 units for an area of 5 units. The purple triangle at the bottom has a width of 8 units and a height of 3 units for an area of 12 units. That leaves the two-colored "rectangular" area from the top that is 5 units wide and 3 units tall for an area of 15 units."

This part is wrong. A right triangle with a w of 5 and a h of 2 will have an area of 5.92. A right triangle with a w of 8 and a h of 3 will have an area of 8.5+.

I used this puzzle in a few geometry classes I taught. Its an interesting lesson in trusting given facts vs. appearance. If the two legs of figures are the same and the hyp is the same the area has to be the same. The key is the hyp of each figure is different. The bottom figure appears to be a triangle but isnt.

[wantsBU2win]

morning everyone. I'm currently internet-less at home. The modem, after 3 years, finally went out. I could go by the TW office to pick up a new modem, but I want them to check the line out as well since I've had problems for the past several months. So they are coming out Thursday. So between now and then, my internet access will be intermittent. Guess I'll have to get on at work ;)

In other items to cover: Prayers to GA and her mom, congrats to Uncle Frisco, and congrats to Chief'sbear's son for hitting the go-ahead run in baseball.

I have no news to report for me, still just work and more work. :) Let's make it a great day today folks.

[Texas Golfer]

Guess I'll have to get in on at work. ;)

If you're going to get in on at work, make sure she doesn't have a boyfriend and make sure you don't get caught. :D

My brother lives just outside D.C. and he was telling me how frustrated he was with shoveling his driveway and sidewalk. At least, in your neck of the woods, it's good for the economy. :laugh:

Well, it sure has snowed plenty up at the ski areas. We haven't had much at all along the Front Range. this is the first hint of moisture we've had in forever.

The other problem in D.C. is the humidity. Summer it's sweltering a lot like Houston and in the winter it can feel colder than a step-mother's love.

Does the term "area" now equal the term "hypotenuse?" If so, I suppose you are correct. If area is (base*height)/2, then maybe not.

The "hypotenuse" in the second pic isnt a hypotenuse. It is curved or bent. This allows for the extra space. Since the bottom figure is not a triangle using the formula for the area of a triangle will get you no where. You are correct in my switching the terms "hyp" with "area" in my example.

[ChipOC]

TG, I'll be in Harker Heights for my son's soccer game on Friday afternoon. When are you leaving?

No, I understand that it is curved or bent. I wasn't referring to that at all, I was simply saying that my math was actually correct. :)

[LIQRinPU]

Well, aside from applying the triangle rule for area to a shape that isnt a triangle, sure. I said you were originally correct when you said the bottom shape must not really be a triangle.

Interesting find down in Galveston...
GALVESTON, Texas — Experts know of about a dozen Civil War-era shipwrecks off the Texas coast. They might have just identified another.
Contractors searching for debris from Hurricane Ike near Galveston Island took a sonar scan of what the Texas Historical Commission believes is a previously undiscovered ship carrying cotton that sank in 1864.
The Carolina, also known as the Caroline, was a privately owned merchant ship that tried to break though a federal blockade of Galveston. After being pursued for several hours by Union gunships, the crew of the Carolina ran the ship aground in shallow water between Galveston and San Luis Pass, then set it on fire rather than let it be captured.
Historians said records indicate the ship sank in the area where workers took the sonar image. It had probably been buried in sand until Hurricane Ike scoured the Gulf floor.
"It's certainly significant if it turns out to be a historic wreck, as we think it is," Steven Hoyt, state marine archaeologist with the Texas Historical Commission, told the Houston Chronicle.
Hoyt said the shape of the image indicates the wreckage is a ship, and that he will study its size, style and characteristics to determine whether it could be the Carolina. Divers will investigate the site in the spring or summer when the Gulf of Mexico waters are calmer. Even then, visibility could be limited.


The possible wreck was discovered about a month ago by General Land Office contractors hired to clean the surrounding bays of debris from Ike. Crews have located hundreds of cubic yards of underwater debris, including a shrimping boat, washing machines, refrigerators and furniture, said Jim Suydam, land office spokesman.
Crews also have found two previously charted Civil War-era shipwrecks: the Acadia and the Will-o-the-Wisp. The two ships are protected state archaeological landmarks.
State workers will not reveal the location of the new possible shipwreck to prevent looters from discovering the site.

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut, and bruised, and he's walking with a limp.

'What happened to you?' asks Sean, the bartender. 'Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight,' says Paddy.

'That little O'Conner,' says Sean, 'He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand.'

'That he did,' says Paddy, 'a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it.'

'Well,' says Sean, 'you should have defended yourself. Didn't you have something in your hand?'

'That I did,' said Paddy, 'Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was; but useless in a fight.'

Is that the place at I-35 and Louis Henna, right by Best Buy?

good morning! Day five without internet at home. The TW repair people came by, but something happened with the modem they brought, so they are coming tomorrow night. As long as I don't miss Ghost Whisperer I'll be fine.

[LIQRinPU]

Over 5.5 inches of rain here. I may have to go buy some more goats with all the grass I will soon have.

Everybody watching the Baylor whorn game at home this evening or will there be a Baylor table at George's?

[Texas Golfer]

Been kinda slow here lately.

I shall be home, under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate watching the basketball game tonight.

They are so over priced maybe their going out of business sale will bring them down to normal.

[Limnos]

Glad to hear things went well GA.

[Wacoso]

Not sure what happened to GA's mama as we've been away, but happy to hear things went well.

[ChipOC]

Thanks GA. Glad you're back and things went well.

[cowboycwr]

That should be good for that concussion. :lol:

I like your style.

yea I'm sure last weekend any drinking I did was probably not the best thing to do with a slight concussion.

[cowboycwr]

Been kinda slow here lately.

I haven't been at work this week so I haven't always been near a computer so I dont get as many chances to post

[wantsBU2win]

Been kinda slow here lately.

and I've been Internet-less this week at home :(

[Limnos]

Wants- is your router dead or your cable? I have an extra router that is yours if you need it.

[wantsBU2win]

it was the modem...it finally died after three years. But I have a new one now, and it's working! I feel so connected again! Thanks for the offer though.

[golsalax]

Let all of us shout out Sic Em Bears to OKC!!!!

Two great wins by our Baylor teams today!!!

[HappyRebel]

I had a great time at Georges, Biggy, it's always nice seeing you....

[golsalax]

To come to think of it, some of y'all a few days ago wanted good news.

Well, tonight's the good news... a big win over Texas. :D

[Grace Anne]

I will take it! This is great news for the Bears.

Actually, I was at the baseball fields killing time, and figured out how to access the boards on my pinkberry. :)

Ahhh, got the Blackberry, in pink I see. I guess I will have to go that route.

My phone is getting worse every week. I think I will likely get the IPhone in a couple months. Almost everyone I know has one.

BF's kids playing ball?

I never had you pegged as a pinkberry guy. :w00t:

[Bexar Fan]

Home at last....more tomorrow.

[Limnos]

Glad to hear you got home safely. Our best to you all.

you sound like an automated machine with every one of your posts...

AT&T is the only service (I know of) that allows the Iphone. It is pretty cool (one of my coworkers has one), but we use another service. The BB is a little getting used to, but they do come in other colors (my bf has a silver one.)

And yes, his son is playing ball again. I know this much about little league, so I'll be just in the cheering section.

Kudo's to you for going. It means more to the kids than you know. All my kids played one sport or three. They still want me at all their games. D3 plays co-ed soccer. And at age 21 still wants me to show up for her games.

My wife is a crack-up. She grew up with 6 brothers who are, um, vocal and sometimes negative. When we would go to games and any of the kids would make a mistake she would make totally inappropriate comments. In her normal voice, she would ask why they would "do that."

I had to keep reminding her that she was not supposed to bring up the negative. At least where everyone could hear her. I finally bought two bag chairs and started sitting away from others where no one can hear her. She got lots of dirty looks. One mom told me they loved our child and liked me, but didn't care for my wife due to her comments. It took a couple years to get her out of that.

:lol:

So, "be positive." :001_smile:

good morning everyone. I'm off to take a nap....I didn't sleep well, and church came early this morning :)

[roy rogers]

So what does everyone's ring tone play? Mine plays "Old Fight".

[HillCountryBEAR]

hi all,

I missed the game last night. Kinda upset about it too. I went to my bf's bday party(ut alum) and I expected to be able to watch the game atleast until it "officially" got started. Silly me,...it was a "sit down/adult" party so no sports. I'm still pretty ****** about it,...my thanks for driving 40 miles each way.

[Limnos]

I had to take the little ones to a birthday party for a 2 year old son of two Baylor grads and they didn't put it on either so don't feel bad.

[Bexar Fan]

Lady Bears are Big 12 Champs!!!

[HappyRebel]

Looks like it's a happy day for Bear fans...I worked to day...didn't get to follow the game...
