I just got an apartment in Portland, ME with my friend Tony. The apartment is awesome and as soon as I move completely into my new place, I will take pictures and post them. Just to give a brief description about the apartment: 1 1/2 baths, washer, dryer, dishwasher, basement, 3 floors, 2 car parking, backyard where we can put my grill and lawn chairs so we can host BBQs.
I will still be paying close attention to Bostonsports though. I am living down the street from the Hadlock Field where the Portland Sea Dogs play. Sea Dogs are the Double-A associate of the Boston Red Sox.
The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which 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.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that 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 proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
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.
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 Teresa during my Freshman year that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct……leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
Veronica Belmont tweeted about this video and I thought I would share it with others. It is a very creative video and I really enjoyed the cinematography.
With time running out on making deals with Mark Teixeira, the Red Sox traveled to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas to try and come to an agreement for 2009. The Angels have just offered the top offensive first baseman an 8 year, at least $160 million contract and the Red Sox don’t want to let him go. He would be an excellent addition to the team and Theo will do everything he can to “get his man”….again. Not only will he help with defense, but he is a highly trained offensive weapon that will fill the empty 3-4 slot that opened up when Manny left. I mean, Lowell is amazing and so is Youk, but I think that they could rewrite the lineup and make a solid 7-8 players.
Teixeira, 28, has hit at least 30 homers and driven in at least 105 runs in each of the past five seasons. After being acquired from the Braves before the trading deadline this past season, Teixeira hit .358 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 54 games with the Angels.
In my opinion, the only way that the Sox will have a chance at winning the division and the World Series is with Mark Teixeira in the lineup. I know the Sox can do it without him, but I think it will be so much easier with him.
When you hear the name OJ Simpson, what do you think of? Some people would say a great football player…up until June 12, 1994 when he was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. From that point on, he was only considered by most, including me, a murderer. So he becomes involved in the “trial of the century” which ended in October 1995 where he was found not guilty. He is then brought up on civil charges where he was found guilty and has to pay $33.5 million in damages.
After the trial, he was hated by most Americans and lost “a lot” of his money. Let’s jump forward about 10 years. Let’s recap! OJ Simpson gets away with 2 counts of murder and then he thinks everything will be fine when he and a group of men rob someone at gun point over some sports memorabilia. Really OJ? You didn’t think to yourself that you might get caught.
Today he was sentenced to 33 years in prison with eligibility for parole in 9 years. First of all, he should not be allowed parole and be in jail for the rest of his life. I was talking to a friend of mine and I told him: “All his life, he was told don’t drop the football. Now it’s going to be don’t drop the soap.”
I have been blogging consistently for the last two years and it has been great, but I have a feeling that some of my content has been fading a little bit. I am going to try to cut back on blogging just to blog and try to focus on my content. I am three posts away from my 1,000th post and when I started this consecutive streak, I was at 190 posts. I have put out around 800 posts in the last two years. I will still try to blog frequently, but not as much.
I was watching the movie “Elf” tonight and I saw the part where he was using Lite-Brite and it got me thinking. I remember sitting our playroom growing up using Lite-Brite for everything. We used it to write “Happy Birthday” or “Merry Christmas”. It brought me back to a time when life was a lot easier.
I looked up Lite-Brite to see if it still exists and not only does it still exist, but look at all of the lite-brite products they have now.
I also found that you can Create Your Own Lite-Brite online which was awesome. This is what I created in 5 minutes. The top one is the Armenian Flag and the bottom should be the American Flag, but you can only do so much in a short amount of time.
Today was the first Thanksgiving without my father. I know that over the next months there will be a lot of first _____ without him, but it is very hard. The holidays are the time when our family, just like many others, spent the most time together. We had certain traditions that will change and memories we shared.
I know that Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks and there are plenty of things to be thankful for. There are some people who don’t have food to eat or a place to live. Don’t get me wrong, I have food to eat and a place to live, but it still doesn’t change the fact about how much it hurts to not spend time with my dad. Some point I will be able to be thankful during the holidays, but it won’t be for a little bit.
To all those who have the chance to spend time with their loved ones, I hope you enjoyed it and make sure to remember the time you get to spend with them.
