El delegado de la línea A Gastón Reyes no se guarda nada. Se lo nota indignado y cansado, con ganas de terminar este conflicto de una buena vez por todas. Su claridad en las palabras explica muy bien el asunto.

- ¿Por qué se quieren independizar de la UTA?

- Básicamente porque tuvimos siempre grandes diferencias llevar adelante las cosas. Nosotros siempre nos caracterizamos por hacer asambleas y tomar las decisiones en conjunto con todos los compañeros. Ellos, el consejo directivo del sindicato, es el que decide las cosas por hacer y vos tenés que avalar y hacer lo que te digan estés de acuerdo o no. Además, en varias oportunidades se han firmado acuerdos sin consultar a los trabajadores y que sólo le servía a la empresa.

- ¿Es por eso que firmaron el plebiscito en febrero del año pasado?

- El 7 de diciembre del 2007 estábamos haciendo una conferencia en el hotel Bauen y fue una patota de la UTA a reprimir. Los malones irrumpieron en la conferencia con violencia. Entonces, esa misma noche hicimos otra en la estación Primera Junta y cayó otra patota en donde varios compañeros terminaron hospitalizados.

En febrero del año siguiente cuando firmamos el plebiscito, en donde se votó y aprobó la consolidación de un nuevo sindicato -la Agrupación gremial de trabajadores de subte y premetro (AGTSyP)-, la UTA mandó a otros hombres a violentar sin razón alguna. Le rompieron el brazo a uno y la cabeza a otro. Uno puede discernir con las políticas, pero cuando todo se traduce en violencia es algo que no se puede tolerar.

-¿Cómo evaluás el desempeño del ministro de Trabajo Carlos Tomada al frente de las negociaciones?

- Es bastante lamentable porque él tiene la obligación como ministro de inscribir nuestra organización gremial en un registro especial. Nosotros hemos iniciado los trámites en agosto del 2008. El gremio cumplió con todos los papeles y presentó todo lo que tenía que hacer según la ley de asociaciones sindicales que es la 23.551 en la cuál el Ministerio de Trabajo tiene un plazo de 90 días para estudiar todo lo presentado y expedirlo. Hasta ahora no hicieron nada, ya hay tres fallos judiciales que están intimando a que se expida, ya que los plazos vencieron hace rato.

- Entonces, ¿Cuál sería la solución al conflicto?

- Que el señor Carlos Tomada termine el trámite de inscripción, ponga su firma en el expediente y nos dé el número de personalidad jurídica. Así nos podemos organizar libremente como lo dice la Constitución Nacional, como lo dice la ley de las asociaciones sindicales, como lo dicen los tratados internacionales que fueron anexados con la reforma constitucional en 1994.

Y al no actuar nos obliga a tomar la decisión más dura que es la suspensión del servicio. Hicimos todo lo posible antes de parar, pero no nos escucharon y todo se dilató.

- ¿Qué te imaginás si el nuevo sindicato obtiene separase de la UTA definitivamente?

- Yo tengo la seguridad que, sea más tarde o más temprano, nos van a tener que dar porque las leyes están de nuestro lado y nosotros queremos que se cumpla la ley, ya sea por vía judicial o por cualquier otra. En el subte va a significar un golpe muy fuerte para el sindicato de los colectiveros que van a perder personal gremial. El sindicato no es una personería gremial, es un colectivo de personas organizadas realizando diferentes tipos de tareas para defender los derechos de los trabajadores. Cuando tengamos el sindicato llegará la tranquilidad, ya que al tener el sindicato se enmarcará de forma jurídica todo lo que los trabajadores tenemos que hacer.

- Para finalizar, ¿Tienen previsto algún paro para la semana que viene?

- Nosotros ahora el 25 de noviembre tenemos una nueva cita en el Ministerio de Trabajo en donde esperamos que Tomada resuelva el tema de la inscripción y revoque el tema del impuesto compulsivo –en el último acuerdo salarial el gremio de los colectiveros nos impuso compulsivamente el descuento del uno por ciento de nuestro sueldo estemos o no afiliados a dicho sindicato-.

Además, hay un fallo judicial en el cual tiene como fecha límite el 2 de diciembre para que el ministerio se expida. De no ser así lamentablemente vamos a tener que hacer una denuncia penal por incumplimiento de los deberes de funcionario público porque no están acatando la ley, no están cumpliendo con su obligación.

Victorie importanta
UTA a obtinut sambata o victorie in compania formatiei CS Otopeni.Desi au fost multe probleme in jocul UTA-ei, Paul Batin a salvat din nou echipa si a marcat in minutul 7.In repriza a doua, echipa din Otopeni a fost mai activa in joc si a creat mai mult ocazii la poarta lui Balgradean, care insa si-a facut foarte bine treaba.Ionut Popa, antrenorul aradenilor, si-a cerut scuze dupa meci pentru jocul elevilor sai.Pentru UTA urmeaza doua meciuri din care poate scoate 6 puncte, cu Minerul Lupeni si apoi in ultima etapa acasa, cu Gaz Metan CFR Craiova.Ionut Popa ramane modest si spune ca nu se gandeste la promovare, dar utistii pot deveni lideri ai clasamentului la sfarsitului turului, depinzand si de rezultatele celorlalte echipe.Nu uitati sa votati UTA in concursul organizate GSP la urmatorul link Cupa de Legenda.Voi posta si cateva materiale de la meciul de sambata.Pozele sunt facute cu telefonul meu.

Since we are planning to make it big internationally we are hoping to get representation in different countries, starting with the United States. According to wikipedia there are about four or five big players in the line of talent agencies in the States.

Creative Artists Agency (CAA)
International Creative Management (ICM)
United Talent Agency (UTA)
William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME Entertainment)

The question is; how do we get their attention? Do I have to send out my “Burt Reynolds”-picture again, or is there anybody out there who knows an agent who would be perfect for us?

1. There are 36 possible characters, so (a) possibilites with repeating characters, and (b) possibilities. Note:
2. 
3. There are four aces and 16 possible 10-point cards in a deck. Therefore, the probability of drawing an ace followed by a 10-point card is . The probability of drawing the 10-point card first and then the ace is , so the probability is the same.
4. Since each penny flip is an independent event, the probabilities are also independent. No matter how many heads come up in a row, the probability that the next flip will come up heads is still .

To find an inverse of a function (assuming that an inverse can be found), the way that is usually taught is to swap the x and y variables and solve for y. A better way, especially if the equation is already in function notation, is to remember that , and solve for .

When you diagram this problem, you will notice that you have two triangles: one with the 60° angle of elevation and a 210′ side (the other angles are 110° and 10°), adjacent to a right triangle with the 70° angle of elevation. To solve this problem, you will need to first find the length of the shared side (y) using Law of Sines. Then, use sine to find the height.
    

Ahhh. from head to toe we change our look for the winter. Our color palette shifts as should our polishes. Gone for the winter are OPI’s Pompeii Purple and its frosty friends. In its place glossy opaques in warm jewel tones to December’s sparkly reds. I have added a few Essie polishes to my repetoire. The crown jewel being “Mint Candy Apple” a shade featured in the new mini set by the brand. I took advantage of an Ulta buy 2 get 1 free and a coupon for $3.50 off. So instead of $24 total I scored all 3 for $12.50. Essie is a great brand with great coverage and color variety. If you are opting for a plain nail their pink tinted clear “Pink Glove Service” is a hands down fave. It also erradicates any yellowing your nails may have. What is your seasonal fave?

Math Review Packet 5

I don’t expect y’all to construct a complicated proof from scratch, but I do think it’s important that you be (re)acquainted with basic geometric properties.

To give you some help, here are the basic algebraic and geometric properties.

Also, this packet reviews trigonometric ratios. There are a lot of different mnemonic devices for remembering the order of things (SOH-CAH-TOA is one), but one I like because my students seem to be able to remember it better is “Some Old Hippie Caught Another Hippie Tripping On Acid.” Either way, we have

For a right triangle, if you know either two sides or one side and one acute angle, you can find out everything else about that triangle. If you would like some additional practice, here are some worksheets I use with my students:

Last night was one of the funnest unexpected drunken nights I’ve had in a long while.
But we’ll start at 4 PM.

I looked so fly- someone should’ve been taking pictures of me!  Just kidding.  Though I did get some nice compliments on my outfit throughout the day though.  It was Wednesday, meaning interview at JC Penny.  I sat outside the JC Penny entrance for a good 20 minutes getting more and more nervous the more I thought about it.  I had my liprings out, my hair done, and I was preparing myself for questions that might’ve been asked although I knew once I got in there, I would forget it all.

I sat outside in a rounded chair waiting to be called back by Deborah.  The Manager.  There was a man before me, early 20’s I’d say.  Wearing jeans, a button up, and some brand name skate shoes.  There was a woman after me, I’d also say early 20’s she wore this long bold printed skirt with many colors, some disgusting UGG boots and black framed glasses.  Her long hair seemed to be unbrushed and uncared for.  When Deborah came out, she told us that she was running about 15 minutes late, and this ugly bitch with the UGG boots was on her sidekick the whole time.  What a shame.  Fuck the others.  I was up and I sat in the chair in her office.  It wasn’t really an interview.  I don’t know what it was.  It was real short, only about 5 minutes I’d say.  She was friendly, very kind.  She asked me if it had been my first job.  I responded, “My first interview, yes.” And she asked me “What is the most important thing about a store like JC Penny.”  Something like that..  My response was “Making the customers feel welcome and comfortable.”  She told me I had a good answer.  She was writing down all these quick notes next to the schedule, and she commented on how she was worried about how my schedule looks, escpecially since I’ll be coming from Holiday.  Not good.  And then this sly women Deborah asked me this little tricky question.  “What is a question you would ask me, about yourself.”  I was blank.  I looked her in the eyes and told her the honest truth, “I don’t know.”  It was quiet for about 5 seconds and then I said the plain jane thing to say.  “what my personality is like?”  She told me I had a great smile, and I was vibrant.  Whew.  It wasn’t too bad.  I guess.  And that was that.  I waited for Nick to get off of work and we went back to his place.  I had wanted to go to the Vetrans day performance up at the Huntsman Center, but I had a feeling he was either not going to like it or we would some how end up not going at all.  Nick, that slow poke didn’t listen to be when I said we should be leaving.  We got to 3900 trax close to 7.  That’s when it was going to start.  I bought Nick’s trax ticket and we walked down the platform, and soon the train arrived.  Everything was pretty smooth and we got off on Galivan Plaza to switch trains to the University.  We waited a bit and when we got on I was somewhat unsure of what stop to get off at.  It was one or 2 stops past the stadium though.  I don’t know what the hell was going on, but the driver didn’t announce what stops we were approaching.  So when the train stopped I had no idea if we were at a stop light or at a trax station.  I attempted to open the door when we stopped at a trax stop.  But the doors didn’t open?  The train goes some more and stops, we were really at a trax stop.  We went to another door and tried to open that.  Still didn’t open and the train only stopped for not even five seconds, I swear.  Well, fuck my life.  I felt horrible and it was a complete fail.  I didn’t even want to go anymore, it was already 8 when we got to the end of the University line.  We said fuck it and headed back to Galivan Plaza.  Nick said “I should call Poet and see if we can toke on some hookah.”  “YES!”  My response was.  Even though Nick wanted to avoid being near the lounge when we got off at Galivan plaza to switch trains in the first place.  Poet says we  can come in, and so we walked right on through when he saw us.  We said our Hellos and sat down at the bar to toke on some Hookah.  I’ve missed that place!  Very important memories for me have been held there, or on the nights that we were there.  Nick ordered a Redbull and Vodka and we thought that was going to be it for drinks, and we would head out.  No sir.  There was a fly ass business guy sitting next to me I shook his hand, but I was too wasted to remember his name.  I thought it was James, but everyone else was calling him Stacey.   After we finished our first beverage, Poet gave us a free refill.  After we were finished with that, Stacey says “I want to buy everyone here, a round of shots.”  WOW!  I had Jose Cuervo tequila- Gold.  Nick had  Crown.  I drank that down and I was A OK!  After that, there was another round of shots by Stacey, I think?  Nick and I had crown royal.  DRUNK.  After that, Poet gave us a Pina Colada, and  it was delicious!  A slurpie with Alcohol was it.  When I finished that off, Poet gave us one more shot.  On him.  Tequila shot with lime and salt.  I swear, that’s my favorite kind of shot now.  Best I’ve ever had.  The Tequila was nasty, real strong but I had salt on my lips so I licked that up and I took a good bite out of my lime, had some more salt and it was amazing.  About 6 shots for Nick and I.  It was only 10 PM when it really should’ve been 4AM.Wednesday night, smashed on Veterans day.  It really was an amazing night after all!  I wish the night hadn’t ended so soon, but it did and we were wasted.  It really was a good thing we took trax though.  It gave us a good 30 minutes to try and sober up.  We wanted to end the night with something else, but when it came to that time.  We both said fuck it and agreed we were too drunk and too tired and all we wanted was sleep.  I was almost home when I decided it was time to puke.  Wow, that was a lot of alcohol that came up.  Good thing I didn’t have much to eat for lunch and the evening!  (hah)   I felt better, but not for long because once I got home.  I just needed to pass the fuck out.  WHAT A FUN NIGHT. It’s a shame that Poet will no longer be working there, and Max quit  a while back.  Getting up this morning wasn’t too bad.  I was just extremely tired is all.  I’ve been blogging for a good 45 minutes now.  I am off to bed.  For sure.  Nick is currently out getting free drinks with Stacey at the piano bar I’ve been wanting to go to for a bit now!  Keys on main.  That lucky stunna.  Can I be 21 now?

Goodnight.

girugämesh, bagi penggemar musik beraliran J-Rock -Japanese Rock- mungkin sudah tidak asing lagi dengan band yang satu ini. Musik giru -nickname dari fans mereka- tergolong gelap dan cadas. Coba saja lihat penampilan mereka yang sering sekali mengenakan pakaian bernuansa gelap sehingga mendukung musik rock mereka.

girugämesh

Dengan Satoshi (vocal), Nii (gitar), Shuu (bass), dan Яyo (drum), girugämesh merilis single ketiga mereka tahun ini, crying rain yang berisi tiga lagu: crying rain, S.T.F.U., dan NITRO-09. Berbeda dengan dua lagu lainnya yang bertempo cepat, crying rain lebih terdengar slow walaupun tidak meninggalkan tradisi giru yang selalu menyisipkan nuansa techno ke musik mereka. Lirik crying rain sendiri terdengar mengutarakan kesedihan. Akting Satoshi dalam PV -Promotional Video- crying rain juga memperlihatkan kisah lagu ini -dengan berhujan-hujanan tentunya-.

E târziu în noapte ora 11.09 sâmbătă dimineaţa. E aşa întrucât mi-am dereglat ritmul nictemeral (de fapt, o expresie mai bună ar fi: mi-am urmărit ritmul nictemeral pe o alee întunecată unde l-am subjugat şi unde i-am făcut un tatuaj cu un cod de bare supt care scrie “ownd” pe gât) mulţumită nopţilor scăldate în redbull şi tot felulul de arsuri ştiinţifice.

A trebuit să aştept până azi să fiu sigură că se termină cu siguranţă săptămâna asta, încă stau cu bâta de bătut carne de mânz după colţ (eu, nu mânzu) în caz că vrea săptămâna un rewind.  Deşi mă doare sufleteştico-fizic şi intelectual o voi recapitula pentru a-mi satisface masochismul picătural.

Iote: luni- am adomit cu capul lăsat pe spate, salivând pe mine în timpul cursului de anatomie

marţ- am stat cu clanţa în buturugă aşteptând să dau testul….nu. Am investit în carioci.

mier curi- am adomit salivând pe altcineva la cursul de info. Am aproape investit în “the man who mistook his wife for a hat” (oliver…s…something something)

joie- din nou simt metalul rece a clanţei în buturuga mea în ceea ce priveşte testul la anatomie (oliver sacks!!)…nu din nou. Petrec juma’ de hora asupra cadavrului în timp ce îşi dau cu presupusul  colegii în ceea ce priveşte “a fi sau a nu fi brahial”. Mă chiulesc la biblioteca pentru a citi la bioetică…primul seminar făcea ochi. Citesc aceeaşi propoziţie de 10 ori înainte de a trece la următoarea pagină. Încep a mă foi nemernic. Observ inabilitatea colegii mele Andra de a şopţi. Încep a mă juca cu mucii din serveţel. Mă ridic brusc să îmi caut o carte de psihiatrie. Încep a mă plimba frenetic printre rafturi căutând eticheta “mw” dată secţiunii de psihiatrie. Mă opresc, îmi suflu nasu’..mai fac o excursie de genu’. Iar mă opresc, mă observă tante. Mă întreabă ce caut. În impulsul momentului fară a putea opri (word vomit, vorba vine) îmi iese următorul lucru: “Caut…secţia de psihiatrie”. Tante ridică sprâncele de mirare de se pierd în străfundul ridului falnic de pe frunce şi îmi pune mâna pe umăr. Eu realizez şi spun “ăăă secţiunea de psihiatrie”. Tante: “etajul 3 puiu”. Eu: a.

Mai târziu în aceeaşi joie merg la cercul de neurochirurgie unde am orgasm intelectual şi îmi propun a mă învălui în asta pe viitor. Peste tot îi carantină şi se aude luna plină.

Well, thank God that’s over with. The Archaeology test I’ve been sweating over has been vanquished. I think I did a pretty darn good job on it, so hopefully the good doctor will see it the same way.

Big weekend ahead! Jenn and I are going to register at Home Depot, which will be our last one on the list. After that, we’re gonna go eat with Misty and then take a look at some furniture at the furniture store over in the Highlands. What is it, Ethan Allen? The one by PF Chang’s, whatever it is. Anyway, tomorrow is All Hallow’s Eve. Along with the el cheapo masquerade we’re gonna enjoy with the fam and some friends tomorrow night, I’ve volunteered my car as part of the church’s Trunk or Treat party tomorrow afternoon. If you’ve never heard of this, basically church members line up their cars in the parking lot, decorate ‘em all spiffy, and the kids go around trickrtreatin’ for candy from the trunks. It’s meant to be a super-safe way for the kiddos to enjoy Halloween without worrying about evil folks out there in the world. Should be a lot of fun. I heard through the grapevine that everyone’s doing a fall/harvest theme with their vehicles. I’m like, UM WUT!? I’m so turning the trunk of my car into a monster mouth. Rawr! Happy Halloween!

Had a meeting yesterday all morning at the PDC. Between that and having trouble registering for my Spring classes, I obviously ran out of time and wasn’t able to blog. Sorry about that.

I have an exam today in Archaeology, a class that I’m actually not doing well in at all. I’ve been studying a lot, and I have a nice list of definitions to study all day today, or at least as much as I possibly can. There’s most likely going to be some interruptions… there pretty much always is when I’m really needing to do some studying during the day. I guess that’s what’s gonna happen when you try to do this sort of thing during your down time at work. Duh.

This weekend’s the Halloween party. I’m considerably more excited than I was a couple days ago, because Jenn decided to buy us masks. We were struggling with figuring out what to do, because we didn’t really want to spend a lot of money on Halloween this year. But Jenn was able to buy our masks for a grand total of less than 10 bucks, which is awesome. Still not entirely sure what I’ll be wearing with it. I might go for a slight twist on an old-timey gangster, complete with a “tommy gun,” but we’ll see what I decide to do. It’s supposed to be nice and cool that evening, so I’ll be comfortable wearing long sleeves for once.

This is an invitation to pray, a call to pray, and a plea to pray…would you be willing to Pause & Pray every Thursday for Texas campuses, students, and BSM staff?

Assume perimeter is in , area is in , and volume is in unless stated otherwise.

1a. To find the length, use the Pythagorean Theorem (): , which means that the length is 12.

1b. Using the Pyth. Theorem as before, we have , which works out to .

2a.

2b.

3a. Since the perimeter is 64 and we know two sides are 25, we know that the third side is 14. Half of that is the short leg of a right triangle, so we can use the Pyth. Theorem to solve for x: , which means that .

3b.

Factoring	Quadratic Formula

(It pays to remember how to factor!)
3c.

3d. There are actually two different ways to work this.

Method #1	Method #2
Divide the trapezoid into a rectangle flanked by two right triangles. This means that the longer base can be broken up into three lengths: 3, 9, and 3, and the right triangles have one leg that is 3 and a hypotenuse of 5, and the height is the other leg.

4a. ( is the perimeter of the base, is the height of the prism, and is the area of the base.)

Notice that if we selected the other rectangle as our base, we’d still get the same answer:

Again, it doesn’t matter which rectangle we select as our base.
4b. The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is .

.

The volume of a cylinder is the same as a prism: , where is the area of the base, in this case a circle.

4c.

4d. To find the surface area of a pyramid, you must have the “slant height” (). To find the slant height of this pyramid, look at the right triangle created by the height, half the base, and the lateral face.

Remember, even thought the two numbers are the same, one represents surface area (square units) and the other volume (cubic units).

5. An interior angle of a regular polygon is found using the formula , where is the number of sides.
a. For a regular hexagon, each interior angle is .

b. For a regular pentagon, each interior angle is .

(angle is half of 108°)

6. If all the dimensions are doubled, the surface area will increase by a factor of 2², or 4. The volume will increase by a factor of 2³, or 8.

7.

Jessy Schram

From The Hollywood Reporter

Jessy Schram and Kevin Dunn are on board for Fox’s action drama “Unstoppable,” joining Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson.

Tony Scott is directing the Mark Bomback-scripted film about the desperate efforts of a veteran engineer and novice conductor to stop a train laden with toxic cargo speeding out of control toward a nearby city.

Schram will play the estranged wife of Pine’s character. Dawson will take on the role of a train dispatcher helping the men via radio, and Dunn will play her boss.

Julie Yorn is producing with Scott and Mimi Rogers; Chris Ciaffa is an executive producer.

The project is scheduled to begin production in the fall in Pittsburgh.

So you’ve written your script. What next? Get it out there of course and hopefully make a sale.The first rule you need to remember is to educate yourself so your efforts meet the market. Having said that don’t try to chase the market, but don’t ignore it either.

Do you know that 50% of movie goers are aged 16 – 24? Yep, for boys that means “Transformers”, for girls that means the “Ugly Truth” with a not so ugly lead male.

Then consider the 24 – 36 year old female audience who go to the movies without men. Think “Sex In The City” and “Mamma Mia”. Where are the men? Apparently we don’t go to the movies enough to warrant statistics.

Did you know that studios rely on about 60 – 70% of their box office from overseas markets?

You may have noticed the dire state of the spec script market lately. A few studios such as Universal and Sony have already used up their development funds for the entire year, or have had them removed to constrain their budgets. Some producers have purchased various projects for six figure amounts from their discretionary funds.

What genres have sold this year (2009) so far?

• Comedies (31%)
• Thriller (27%)
• Action (19%)
• Drama (11%)
• Sci-fi/ Fantasy (6%)

How many scripts did key buyers purchase this year (2009) to date?

• Sony (5)
• Universal (5)
• Warner Bros (5)
• Dreamworks (3)
• Paramount (3)

Who were the key sellers?

• CAA (12/ 32 – 38%)
• ICM (7/28 – 25%)
• UTA (10/28 – 36%)
• WMA – (8/17 – 47%)
• WME – (2/17 – 12%)

• Benderspink (3/10 – 33%) – Manager

These numbers are depressingly low. This means that Endeavour (prior to merging with William Morris) and Gersh sold less than 10 scripts each for the entire year. The other key agencies didn’t fare much better. However, know that through destruction comes reconstruction, so things will improve in 2010. Why so serious?

Of the 366 overall spec scripts that went out wide, 17 (5%) sold. February, March and May were particularly busy months with 10 scripts sold in each, to non-studio buyers. However, the desert that is the current spec script market has worsened in the second half of the year. Only 2 of the 140 scripts that went out wide sold, one in May and one in June. That’s a measly 1.4%. So, if your script goes out wide today, don’t expect a sale. Expect an introduction to create a buzz for yourself.

You know the drill…

Go forth and write my pretties… but don’t expect a sale in 2009.

Wisst Ihr eigentlich wie schwer ich es habe?

 Ich bin ja nun tagtäglich den Weibern Frauen der Familie ausgesetzt. Mein Testosteronpartner Papa verlässt ja schon morgens das Haus (wenn wir noch schlafen) und kommt erst dann wieder wenn wir schon wieder lange zu Hause sind.

 Im Großen und Ganzen schlage ich mich wirklich wacker und lasse mich von den Frauen nicht unterkriegen. Zur Not ziehe ich mein cooles Spidermen Kostüm an und lasse alle reden – aber nun hat….

 UTA – hat der Mama eine CD gebrannt!

 Ich musste ja schon immer jeden Morgen, die Rosenstolz-CD und dazu das Gejaule von Amai und Mama ertragen.

 Aber das war immer ein Lieblingslied der Beiden und irgendwann war dann gut – aber nun haben sie eine ganze CD mit diesem Herz/Schmerz-Gejaule und ich muss es mir anhören.

 Mal abgesehen davon, dass mein Magen und meine Ohren auch eine gewisse Schmerzgrenze haben – wisst ihr, wie peinlich das ist, wenn man morgens  schon in einem Auto gesehen wird, aus dem in voller (kindgerechter) Lautstärke so Lieder wie „Amsterdam“ dröhnen.

 Ich habe einen Ruf zu verlieren!!!

Was soll ich nur tun?
Kann man eigentlich mit fünf schon alleine zum Kindergarten gehen? Gibt es nicht ein Gesetz dafür?

Transformations
A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure. The original shape is called the preimage, and the resulting shape is called the image. There are four types of transformations:

• Translation (slide) – all of the coordinates move the same distance in the same direction
• Reflection (flip) – each point and its image are the same distance from the line of reflection
• Across the x-axis: the x-coordinate stays the same, the y-coordinate changes sign. .
• Across the y-axis: the y-coordinate stays the same, the x-coordinate changes sign.
• Across the line : the coordinates trade places.
• Rotation (turn) – each point and its image are the same distance from the point of rotation
• 90° about the origin:
• 180° about the origin:
• Dilation (size) – if centered about the origin, multiply each coordinate by the scale factor

Linear Functions
A function is a rule that is applied to an independent variable. The most common form of this is called the slope-intercept form of a line: , where is the slope and is the y-intercept. Another form is the point-slope form: .

Slope (also called rate of change) is the ratio of the difference in the y-values to the difference in the x-values.

Direct and Inverse Variation
A related type of function is variation. Direct variation is a linear equation of the form : x and y both increase or both decrease. Inverse variation is a nonlinear relationship of the form : x and y move in opposite directions. In both cases, is the constant of variation.

Vertical Asymptotes
Vertical asymptotes are boundaries on rational functions at points where the function is undefined. Generally, to find a vertical asymptote, evaluate the denominator of the function to find out where/if it can be equal to zero. Whenever a function evaluates to , you have a “hole”. As the function gets closer and closer to the vertical asymptote, its value becomes more and more extreme. It does not behave this way around a hole.

Discriminants
Discriminants are an indicator of whether a quadratic function will have imaginary roots or zeros. If you’ll recall, for a quadratic equation of the form , the quadratic formula is . The discriminant is the middle part: .

• If this is less than zero, then the equation will have imaginary roots, and the graph does not cross the x-axis.
• If it is equal to zero, the equation will have one solution, which is where the graph touches the x-axis.
• If it is greater than zero, the equation will have two real roots, where the graph crosses the x-axis.

Ever heard about William Kidd? He was such a dingbat. Dude was contracted to go hunt pirates in the Indian Ocean, ended up doing some pirating himself, let himself get busted, and was hanged. They even left his body hanging out over the harbor as a reminder to other pirates. There’s a theory that he kinda got screwed by the system and was set up, but I’m not really sure about that. He shouldn’t have raided a Mughal ship (the Mughals were buddies with the East India Company) if he was really sailing for the glory of England. Dummy.

Okay, sorry about that. We watched a DVD about Kidd in Pirates of the Caribbean last night. It was entertaining, but Kidd’s stupidity just cracks me up. Also, the narrator pronounced things funny. Madagassker.

Also, last night was the second night of informative speeches in my Business Communications class. Since I got mine out of the way the first night, I now have to sit through three more nights of speeches. No big deal though, most of them are pretty cool. Though last night, even though the teacher told them not to, they were all bringing in their Powerpoints in .pptx format, not .ppt. For some reason, he won’t download the Microsoft Compatibility Pack to his laptop, so they couldn’t use his with the projector for their presentations. Well, guess who had the laptop that COULD do this?

/me raises hand

So I volunteered my laptop for the majority of the class. It was certainly no big deal, I was happy to help. And everyone loved my wallpaper when it popped up on the screen:

Tonight’s Bible Study at Laura’s, and I’m trying to decide if I want to skip class and get there on time, or rush out after class and get there late. Not sure yet, prob’ly won’t decide until the last minute. Heh.
