Breakfast: small package of oatmel or cereal, small orange juice and piece of fruit
Lunch: Light Sandwich or salade with a piece of fruit or side dish
Or, one of my small soups that only has 200 calories a piece
Dinner: Some kind of a meat, but in small portins, bread, light dessert or fruit

So let's see if I can keep this diet!

I got a problem

I have a serious problem and I'm crying right now. My problem is that I have a bad speech problem. I've been noticing that the past month I have had very bad slurred speech, bad enough that somedays I can't talk a single sentence without slurring something. I haven't had speech problems since childhood.I have been able to actively control my speech, but it seems like I have no control sometimes, and I feel embarassed, especially while talking to my friends. I know something needs to be done about this, but it's my brain, not me, it's not my fault, andlet me repeat this , I CANNOT CONTROL THIS SLURRED SPEECH. I can't. But what am I going to do? I need help. please help me =(*******

How To Find The Surface Area of A Doughnut

Have you ever had a doughnut and wondered how the heck they can make those without holes? I mean do they cook them holeless or what? Or do the holes just magically appear. Or you may have wondered weird things such as, gee, how much surface area does my doughnut have? I guess mathematicians do that stuff, ponder about the curvature equations of doughnuts because they have nothing better to do in coffee shops. Well, ponder no more. I can tell you a simple (hehe) equation to find the surface area of your doughnut!

First thing is first, a doughnut is probably best called a Torus in math. Here is an example



u and v are called parameters because the angle that the doughnut circles varies from 0 to 2pi each. In otherwards, the shape of the doughnut depends on the angle that it has with the respective axes.

let's write this as one huge vector

here is the stuff I wrote to solve this problem in derive

[(a+b*COS(v))*COS(u),(a+b*COS(v))*SIN(u),b*SIN(v)]

DIF([(a+b*COS(v))*COS(u),(a+b*COS(v))*SIN(u),b*SIN(v)],u)

[-SIN(u)*(b*COS(v)+a),COS(u)*(b*COS(v)+a),0]

DIF([(a+b*COS(v))*COS(u),(a+b*COS(v))*SIN(u),b*SIN(v)],v)

[-b*COS(u)*SIN(v),-b*SIN(u)*SIN(v),b*COS(v)]

CROSS(DIF([(a+b*COS(v))*COS(u),(a+b*COS(v))*SIN(u),b*SIN(v)],u),[-b*COS(u)*SIN(v),-b*SIN(u)*SIN(v),b*COS(v)])

[COS(u)*(b^2*COS(v)^2+a*b*COS(v)),SIN(u)*(b^2*COS(v)^2+a*b*COS(v)),b^2*SIN(v)*COS(v)+a*b*SIN(v)]

ABS([COS(u)*(b^2*COS(v)^2+a*b*COS(v)),SIN(u)*(b^2*COS(v)^2+a*b*COS(v)),b^2*SIN(v)*COS(v)+a*b*SIN(v)])

ABS(b*(b*COS(v)+a))

INT(b*(b*COS(v)+a),u,0,2*pi)

2*pi*b^2*COS(v)+2*pi*a*b

INT(2*pi*b^2*COS(v)+2*pi*a*b,v,0,2*pi)

4*pi^2*a*b

for my satisfaction , I did NOT write all this junk, out, i had copied it and pasted it =)

so the surface area of any general doughnut is
4*pi^2*a*b

this is 4 times pi squared times the radius of the outer hole times the radius of the inner hole

So if you are sitting in dunkin doughnuts and wonder how much surface area your doughnut is, just measure the inner hole, divide that number by 2 and mulitple it by one half the measurement of the outer hole and then times it by 4 pi squared!

hehe

now wasn't that interesting?

Valpo Boys Caught Fighting on Video

Tonight I recieved an e-mail from some valpo boys, let me rephrase that, EVERYONE who has a valpo e-mail address received the fighting video. This had no virus, so don't worry (It's a real avi file). It was no sound but the video is so amateur. Oh, I am the man for fighting , that type of mocho attitude. It's kind of funny, so you can download it, and see some little freshman guys try to prove their manliness!
