caught and throw.........Darn, dropped my gummy bear.

shit..........

5 second rule. let me just kiss this one to the sky...........it's still a good gummy.

Catch with my teeth and bark...

A dropped gummy does not entail and forgotten gummy...

poor gummy. I think I'm going out for dinner. YAY! yummy food. Alas, no gummies...

Well, now we know what happened to those pilots that disappeared over the Bermuda triangle. They got eaten by giant space marshmallows.

The technical explanation

The geometry works out such that the sine of the apex half-angle (half the angle at the point of the cone) is equal to the ratio of the speed of sound in air of that temperature, pressure, and humidity to the jet's speed. That speed ratio is called the Mach Number. So, sin(theta) = V/v or sin(theta) = 1/(Mach Number) where v is the speed of the jet, V is the speed of sound at that location, and theta is half the angle made at the point of the cone.

Notice that if the speed of the jet equals the speed of sound, the "cone" is actually a flat surface perpendicular to the direction of travel. If the jet's speed is less than the speed of sound, the equation is not valid; there IS no superposition of crests taking place (although there is a large pressure build up, similar to a bow wave on a ship).

But you knew that.

Consider the following simple example, sharing a three-state quantum trit (a qutrit) among three people:

|0> -> |000> + |111> + |222>
|1> -> |012> + |120> + |201>
|2> -> |021> + |102> + |210>

No matter what the encoded state is, any single person is equally likely to find himself holding |0>, |1>, or |2>, so he has no information about the encoded state. On the other hand, any two people can easily reconstruct the secret. For instance, Alice and Bob, holding shares a and b, compute (b-a) mod 3. By doing this quantum mechanically, they can disentangle the phase as well, thus reconstructing the state, even if it is in a quantum superposition. This is thus an example of a ((2, 3)) quantum threshold scheme: any two people can reconstruct the secret, but one person alone has no information.

discreetly,
mr smith

Remember in all those Sci-Fi movies when a mutant live form or space virus needs to be contained and they call in a nuclear air strike to sterilize the area..... It's something people who spend a week in the desert in the middle of nowhere should think about before announcing there plans for world domination.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite cult movies... Return of The Living Dead... where they nuke none other than Louisville.

“Now when he comes out, you just brain ‘em with this axe...”

Heh, Heh, Heh I guess its about time to revisit that one...

And I can't forget Buckeroo Banzai... Which by the way was partly shot, if I recall, in one of Nevada’s other dry lake deserts. Though I think it was in the south east corner, rather than the north west.

Hello.

I will be in Las Vegas, Nevada from Tuesday, April 20- early the 24th.

Am staying at the Luxor, with freinds.

If you & I know each other, let's arrange a play* date!

Private message me (PM) here. Will check from hotel. too.

Your pal,

Hey Nips,

If you get the chance make your reservations in the Luxor Towers (east toers?) rather than the pyramid.

I just wrapped shooting a Trailer for a Television Pilot, starring Carl Lewis, the runner I am Producing, Directing, and Editing. We shot Sat. and Sun it was incredible I had a great 5 star crew (about 6 guys) for a change rather than just me and one other person. And if you must ask, yes Carl can act, and very well. He has taken many years of classes, the problem was, just like you, nobody ever gave him any of the type of roles he really wanted to do so he jumped at the chance to star in a sitcom based around him. The name of the piece is "Sports Page", it's kind of a LL Cool J's "In The House", mixed with Eddie Albert's "Green Acres".

The scoop is that Carl is a famous international Runner, who has a career ending foot injury and now must look for a newjob, his dream is to be a sports writer for a big paper. His brow beating, High Maintanence, Gold bricking girlfriend is about to leave him cause he now has no real future, when he gets an offer back to write for the "Houstin African American Times" (that's Houstin not Houston) a crappy shady little local rag, that is being run by a great big huggable huckster white guy named JJ, who has been told, that to get government grants for an "African American" Newspaper, he would have to at least have some working at the paper. So he enlists Shasha the buxomy, local Diva (think Mini Pearl meets Mae West, meets Lil Kim) to sit in the window as dressing, considering that JJ is paying her normal escort wages instead of a salary, she a very expensive receptionist, especially sinces she doesn't type, can't use a computer, won't answer the phone right, gabs to her gal pals all day, changes clothes every scene, in a bizarre Diana Ross complex, and takes a break every 10 minutes. There is also the Printer, an angry Chinese man that hardly speaks English (think Mr. Miagi, meets John Buleshi's Sumari character), who keeps running around shouting about the current catastrophy (in this case "No Paper!, No Paper!! No paper, No Paper!! they've run out of paper and can't go to press with today's issue), keeping the mood in a panic like a Chinese firedrill, all the while trying to keep the shoddyily run paper running. But Kwame (Carl's character) is up to the challenge of turning the paper around and getting his daily column sydicated on the shoulders of this little one horsetown paper.

I am finished shooting, I think everyone was hilarous, but now comes the real challenge, to turn it into something everyone else thinks is funny. Now on to the editing to see if I can turn this into the next "Cosby Show". Oh did I mention that I suppose to turn a rough cut in by next Tuesday, but I just picked up a three week job that will cover my rent for the next two months, a new DV Deck (Yeah!!!!), my ticket to the burn, and some pocket change. Wish me luck, Kidz!

cinematically,
mr smith

FYI. Forewarned is forearmed, or something like that.

Warning to all dog owners : Watch your dog!

A vicious killer has been shooting dogs at random in San Diego. Dogs are
being picked off one at a time, and the death toll is on the rise. Because
of the "copycat" factor, police are advising all dog owners in the state to
be especially protective of their pets.

This photo (from a collie breeder in El Cajon) shows the killer caught in
a careless moment.

What was the Canadian's name that had his gold taken away for steroid use? Heard a funny story that shortly after that incident while cruising around some smart ass sports fan threw a can of beer at his car. Could you imagine what was going through that idiots mind when a 200lb, steroid pumped, recently jaded and generally pissed off guy gets out of his car to beat the crap out of him? What are you going to do?
Run?
