Your Age by Chocolate....Amazing!!!!!!

Your Age by Chocolate....Amazing!!!!!!  Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know!YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH This is pretty neat. It takes less than a minute .. Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ...     If you haven't, add 1758. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.     You should have a three digit number     The first digit of this was your original number     (I.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).     The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. Chocolate Calculator.   now take a moment and visit the Jimbozone.com

Technology seen slashing battery recharge time, weight

En­gi­neers say they’ve found a way to move en­er­gy faster through a well-known bat­tery ma­te­ri­al, pos­sibly pav­ing the way for smaller, light­er bat­ter­ies that re­charge in sec­onds rath­er than hours.

En­gi­neers say they’ve found a way to move en­er­gy faster through a well-known bat­tery ma­te­ri­al, pos­sibly pav­ing the way for smaller, light­er bat­ter­ies that re­charge in sec­onds rath­er than hours. The ad­vance could also ben­efit car batteries, which usu­ally take hours to charge, ac­cord­ing to en­gi­neers. (Im­age cour­tesy GM)

The work, led by Ger­brand Ced­er of the Mas­sa­chu­setts In­sti­tute of Tech­nol­o­gy, is de­tailed in the March 12 is­sue of the re­search jour­nal Na­ture. Be­cause the ma­te­ri­al in­volved is­n’t new—it’s just made in a new way—Ced­er says the tech­nol­o­gy could reach the mar­ket with­in three years.

Modern lith­i­um re­chargeable bat­ter­ies can pack plen­ty of charge in­to a small space, but are slow to take up and dis­charge that en­er­gy. This draw­back means that, for ex­am­ple, an elec­tric car bat­tery can move the au­to at a mod­er­ate high­way speed for a long time, but ac­cel­er­ation is slug­gish, Ced­er noted.

Sci­en­tists tra­di­tion­ally thought such pokey per­for­mance was due to slow move­ment of the par­t­i­cles that car­ry elec­tric charge across the bat­ter­y—charged atoms and elec­trons. But through a se­ries of com­put­er cal­cula­t­ions, Ced­er and col­leagues found that this was­n’t ex­actly the prob­lem, at least not for a well-known bat­tery ma­te­ri­al, lith­i­um iron phos­phate.

The real dif­fi­cul­ty, the group found, is that the charged atoms can only cross through the ma­te­ri­al through tun­nels ac­cessed from the sur­face. If the par­t­i­cle lies di­rectly at a tun­nel en­trance, it slips right in, but oth­er­wise it gets stuck.

Ced­er and By­oung­woo Kang, a grad­u­ate stu­dent, de­vised a so­lu­tion: a new sur­face struc­ture that lets the par­t­i­cles, called ions, move quickly around the out­side of the ma­te­ri­al. Like a belt­way around a city, this di­verts ions right in­to the tun­nels. The re­sult was a small bat­tery that could be fully charged or dis­charged in 10 to 20 sec­onds. By com­par­i­son, it takes six min­utes to fully charge or dis­charge a cell phone made from the un­pro­cessed ma­te­ri­al.

Ced­er said fur­ther tests showed the new ma­te­ri­al de­grades less than do oth­er bat­tery ma­te­ri­als when re­peat­edly charged and re­charged. This could al­low smaller bat­ter­ies, as less ma­te­ri­al is needed for the same re­sult. The ad­vance “may open up new tech­no­log­i­cal ap­plica­t­ions and in­duce lifestyle changes,” Ced­er and Kang wrote.

time and again...

Martha Mccalum on fox news asked Rep. Boner and then Areola Flesher why didn't all the Bumblicans get together and take all their little earmarks out of the Omnibus bill and make a statement to the publice and each time she got nothing but political babble...and come to think about it, what with all the attention John Mccainiac is trying to muster he is not screaming at the Bums as well...Michael Steele and Rush Limpbutt can argue about minutia and enui but I don't hear them chiding their contemporaries on the right side of the aisle for their Pork and Beans gluttony either...

 

If the Bums were genuinely outraged by the size of this bill they should unilaterally withdraw all their earmarks instead of leaving them in and then voting against the bill so that their CONstituencies think they are being fiscally responsible...all the while feeding at the traugh with the best of them...

10 things you should know about Obama's plan

The plan:

1. Makes a $634 billion down payment on fixing health care that will go a long way toward paying for a more efficient, more affordable health care system that covers every single American.¹
   
2. Reduces taxes for 95% of working Americans. And if your family makes less than $250,000, your taxes won't go up one dime.²
   
3. Invests more than $100 billion in clean energy technology, creating millions of green jobs that can never be outsourced.³
   
4. Brings our troops home from Iraq on a firm timetable, finally bringing the war to a close—and freeing up almost ten billion dollars a month for domestic priorities.⁴
   
5. Reverses growing income inequality. The plan lets the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire and focuses on strengthening the middle class.⁵
   
6. Closes multi-billion-dollar tax loopholes for big oil companies. ⁶
   
7. Increases grants to help families pay for college—the largest increase ever.⁷
   
8. Halves the deficit by 2013. President Obama inherited a legacy of huge deficits and an economy in shambles, but his plan brings the deficit under control as soon as the economy begins to recover.⁸
   
9. Dramatically increases funding for the SEC and the CFTC—the agencies that police Wall Street.⁹
   
10. Tells it straight. For years, budgets have used accounting tricks to hide the real costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush tax cuts, and too many other programs. Obama's budget gets rid of the smokescreens and lays out what America's priorities are, what they cost, and how we're going to pay for them.¹⁰

Pretty amazing, right? Can you pass this on to your personal network too, to make sure everyone knows how far-reaching and progressive Obama's plan is?

Thanks!

P.S. Turns out there are way more than 10 amazing things in Obama's budget and we couldn't resist sharing just a few more.

1. Stops unnecessary government subsidies to big banks, health insurance companies and big agribusinesses.^11,12,13
   
2. Expands access to early childhood education and improves schools by investing in programs that make sure every child has a qualified, strong teacher.¹⁴
   
3. Negotiates for better prescription drug prices using Medicaid's tremendous bargaining power.¹⁵
   
4. Expands access to family planning for low-income women.¹⁶
   
5. Caps the pollution that causes global warming, and makes polluters pay to support clean energy innovation.¹⁷
