N/A
OK well I am not going to get away without saying I am fine from the Car Accident I was in last Friday. As soon as I have some more time Ill blog about it, but for now finals he begun and with them studying. So SyNONYM will probably not have many stories for the next couple of days. Ill post some other stuff in the mean time.
First Contact
A Tribute to Star trek fans everywhere. This is by far one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life.
R-Functions
This is my forward to a project on R-Functions I am doing for discrete Math. TO most of you it wont make any sense but just in case you want to here me sound smart read on.
The basic concept of an R Function focuses primarily upon boolean mathematics, stating in its definition that an R-Function is completely determined by the signs of its arguments. This definition allows for an R-Function translation into a simple true or false statement. Or otherwise stating an R-Function's arguments will determine the function's value of True or False.
With the ability of an R-Function to be expressed in logical terms (True or False) it can be compared using the logical operators, AND, OR, and NOT. Allowing for a complex equation (or set) to be expressed and evaluated in regards to basic conditions. These properties make the R-Function ideal for evaluating primitive geometric objects. As simple or “primitive” geometric objects can be expressed in single equations or number sets, R functions allow for graphical analytically based differential equation comparisons as well as basic geometric figure calculations.
To equate principle shapes (or those most common such as the circle, triangle, pentagon etc.) using R-Functions it is necessary to break down what is being evaluated into is fundamental building blocks. Any shape can be modeled using these principle units. Principal units also hold unique properties in them selfs as hey can be expressed using algebraic elementary sets. As algebraic sets, the figures also have the ability to be evaluated using the logical operators, and thus can be represented in simple terms of true and false. The combination of the logical operator and the algebraic set allow for any fundamental function to be equated.
The idea of an R Function is still relatively new in the mathematics world today, however has brought new ways of thinking to the field of mathematics and it continues to offer news ways of solving abstract function's.

1978
Quakecon 2005 registration, a night where true friends were made. The one night I wished I was not in the NAVY.
It was March 22, 2005 ;the night was warm and the damp Prairie View air threatened rain, my room mate was getting a little UT2004 double domination in. My desktop cluttered with various C++ programs, and bottles of bawls preparing for a major test on Data Structures the next morning. #quakecon was teeming with activity people already planning unofficial tournaments. The air conditioner kicked in (since the heat produced by the 5 computers running in the small college dorm room was enough to heat a small Eskimo villa).
Suddenly Just as the spot lights of a football stadium at night, there it was. Debuggers were closed and in their place more IM windows of clan members lit up sending the news to all going. Many words cluttered the recent post at quakecon.org, but two small strings stood out from their brother and sister char arrays. Moments of joy of the previous seconds died away leaving anger. APRIL 15, Uncle Sam I have to protect the country that day. the day I am on duty. How am I going to register when I am out on a Farking ship in the Gulf of Mexico. (the simple answer to that question was I wasent). After hours of thought I turned to my trusted gaming friend Valkyrie. “Dude If I give you my user name and password would you register me right after you?, I've got NAVY that night.” Just as any true gaming friend he said he'd take care of it. Putting my mind at ease, at least for a little bit.
April 15, Without computer phone or even regular non sound powered phone. I sat as a 5 year old kid would the night before his first trip to Disney World. 'When is this going to be over I need to call and find out what my registration number, did it go through, what if the server was overloaded”. Its a good thing the enemy did not attack us that night as I am unsure how much help I would have been. Hours past,...................and passed and passed.............Only instead of hours passing it was only minutes.
“Dismissed” My Commanding Officer annunciated. My LG3200 had never opened and a turned on faster in its existence. Speed dial Valkyrie...........He must have been waiting for my call because it was answered on the first ring. “You're number”................”1978”...................

In the Recent Past
When Facebook and myspace first came out I had thought they were really a waste of time and had little point. As for their "website" definition as writer of SyNONYM I saw them as What you see is What you Get type of do it yourself webcodes for computer illiterate people. But as this Kim ordeal really began to snowball into hell. I started just browsing for my class mates. And lord behold I got in contact with many of my old friends. Its really fun to see what they are all doing these days, I am sure to get back together with many of them this summer, of which I am really looking forward to doing. For those of you who wish to see my Myspace Profile follow the following link.

Life Aboard A Submarine…
Heres how to prepare for life aboard a Submarine..
1. Spend as much time as you can indoors during the daytime, stay out of direct sunlight. Go to work only before sunrise and come home after sunset.
2. Paint everything around you Sea Foam Green (Navy NSN Green, no substitutions) or Off-White to be sure you are living in a clean, happy environment. Every Friday, set an alarm on loud for a short, but hated, drill sound. Then get up and manned only with a bucket, sponge and a greeny. Clean one area over and over, even if it is already spotless.
3. Eat food that you can only get out of a can and requires water in order to eat it. Empty out your refrigerator and turn the temperature control down, turning the refrigerator into a freezer. Get rid of all fresh fruits and vegetables.
4. Repeat back everything spoken to you. Repeat back everything spoken to you.
5. Sit in your car for six hours at a time with the motor running. Keep hands on the wheel. But don’t leave your driveway. Log readings of your oil pressure, water temperature, speedometer and odometer every 15 minutes.
6. Put Lube Oil in your humidifier instead of water. Set it on high.
7. Buy a trash compactor; use it only once a week. Store the rest of the garbage in your bathroom.
8. Don’t watch movies except in the middle of the night. Have your family vote on which movie to watch, then show a different one.
9. Have the paperboy give you a standard Navy haircut.
10. Take hourly readings on your water and your electric meters. But only for a six hour period.
11. Sleep with your dirty laundry.
12. For you old mechanics, set your lawn mower in the middle of the living room while it is running. Only for six hours a day.
13. Invite guests but don’t prepare enough food for everyone. Serve food cold. Limit the time they sit at the table to 10 minutes.
14. Wake up at midnight every night and make a peanut butter sandwich, use stale bread. Better yet, make your own bread but cut 3 inch thick slices and use these. Optional: warm up some canned Ravioli or soup.
15. Make your family a menu for the week without knowing what food is in the cabinets.
16. Set your alarm clock for various times at night; adjust the volume to the maximum. When it goes off, jump out of bed, get your clothes on as fast as you can, run outside and grab the garden hose. Then go back to bed and do it all again when the alarm goes off.
17. Once a month take apart every appliance completely and then put them back together.
18. Use 18 scoops of coffee per pot and allow it to sit for 5 to six hours before drinking it.
19. Invite at least 85 people you really don’t like and have them stay for a couple of months.
20. Store your eggs in the garbage for two months and then cook a dozen each morning.
21. Have a fluorescent lamp installed under your coffee table and lie underneath it to read books.
22. Put a complicated lock on your basement door and wear the key around your neck on a special chain.
23. When making cakes, prop up one side of the pan when cooking. Use extra icing to level it off.
24. Every so often, yell "EMERGENCY DEEP!" run into the kitchen and sweep all pots, pans and dishes off of the counters onto the floor, and then yell at your wife for not having the kitchen area "Stowed for Sea!"
25. Put on the stereo headphones (don’t plug them in), go to the stove and stand in front of it. Say (to no one in particular) "Stove manned and ready" stay there for 3 to 4 hours. Say (once again and to no one in particular) "Stove secured", then role up your headphone cord and put them away.
26. Pull out your refrigerator and clean behind it for 4 hours and then put it back when you are done. Have your wife come and check every 10 minutes with a flashlight to see how you are doing.
27. When doing your laundry fill it only 1/3 full, sit in front of your washing machine in your underwear and read a book or magazine you’ve read at least 5 times before in the last week. When the wash is done, only run the dryer for half the normal time.
28. Fix-up a shelf in your closet that will serve as your bunk for the next six months. Take the door off of the hinges and replace them with curtains. While asleep, have family members shine a flashlight in your eyes at random intervals and say either "Sign this!" or "Sorry, wrong rack!"

Jag Theme
Here is the original extended version of the show Judge Advodate General JAG theme song basicly never heard. Oh goosebumbs, I miss JAG.
Worm Hunting
For the past two weeks Texas has been nothing but rain and hot. I guess April showers do bring Mayflowers. But with each night more thunderstorms roll into town bringing memories of the past to life. An Earth worm lay confused in the man made domain of the parking lot.
As the black Wisconsin air lit up with the force of thousand flash bulbs while god finished his last round at Ledge view Lanes. Misty hid behind the toilet shaking, praying in doggy language for god to get his perfect 300 game over with already, Jennie and I had work to do.
“Quick Jennie go downstairs to the fishing room and grab the worm box, its sprinkling out now, I'll get the flashlights”......
“Turn on the outside lights so we can see better”.....
The air smelling of mold and water, only seemed to encourage us on our Ultimate Endeavor for the Ultimate Bass Bait. Working around the red sandbox home to more castles and tunnels then Europe, at the feet of the swing set, digging in the rose Garden and finally the cloths line hole. The cold mud seeped through the gaps between our toes as there was no point in getting our shoes all dirty and get in trouble for tracking it all through the kitchen.
Still flashing through the slim slips of the red fence the storm passed on creating more fish bait for all children everywhere.
“I bet I have more then you”.......
But the best place was on the edge of the driveway and the back yard, where the the brown snakes wondered from their dirt caverns to the man made rock. Makes for easy picking by the mentally superior Human. Plus in the grass you had to be fast those slippery slimes could easily escape down the whole they came. Dad had thought us a trick, get as close as you can before you try to grab them. Still somehow when Daddy would join us on the hunt he always seemed to get the most even if we did know his tricks.
“If you turn your flash light off and then turn it back on quick you can get more”...
Heads down focusing on our narrow flashlight beams, feet covered in mud, and soaking wet one by one our small styrofoam boxes soon crawled with big fat juicy fish bait.
Its amazing how the simple things in life when you are young can mean that much, standing outside in the rain with you sister picking up germ infested night crawlers. Sometimes I think the world would be a better place if adults listened to their kids.

Yellow Feathers
This evening for the first time in many weeks I got through the day without thinking about Kim, and other then being a bit tired, I have not felt this good in many weeks. The song that brought me back of course you already know it as Somewhere Down the Road. Every part of that song speaks nothing other then the story of Kim and I. Dreams upon distant shores tells the story of our Navy lives, and most obviously we did have the right love at the wrong time. Perhaps somewhere down the road we will once again find one another, but until then Goodbye.
That being said life down here in Prairie View continues to progress. But Wednesday I had a bit of cherish news. My DRAMA class (which they make us computer science majors take because they believe it helps us become more social hmmmm) was given our final project. We must take a play or theatre production that takes place in the past, and while keeping almost the same script, transform it into a modern day setting. Well since I am about the most squared away person in that class it has come to be that I will be directing the play.
Ahhh but that’s not all, since I am directing the play I was given the opportunity to select a play for the class to transform. Automatically one play came to mind,….. that of my current obsession Mr. Manilow. The song Copacabana, the Musical Copacabana. It somehow you have been living in a cave with no door, and are not familiar the play or song here's a brief overview.
The story follows aspiring songwriter, Stephen, as he composes what he hopes will become a hit musical. His imagination takes him back to the 1940s as he creates a story surrounding an ambitious young singer Lola Lamar who arrives in New York City from Tulsa hoping to become a star. She lands a position at the famous Copacabana Nightclub, "the hottest club north of Havana", and strives to become a 'Copa Girl' dancer with the help of the bartender, Tony Starr. But what no one expects is the arrival of one named Rico who wore a Diamond.
I plan to take this play and put into a Houston Night club indicative of my fellow class mates down here in PV. I really think that this could be an excellent show. A bit of Broadway and a little of the Ghetto, with some Music and Passion, yeah it should be good. I hope I can figure out a way to tape this thing.

Clean Sweep
Break out the big broom and hoist it up the Perisconpe for all to see. Congrats to the newly retrofitted USS Florida SSGN 728, She flew through her sea trials last week and is now ready to hit the seas. Read the article here. In the future I would really enjoy serving aboard this type of submarine.
Quote of the Year
"An emotional response to a medium does not mean that the player will take that behavior into the real world. If so, the world would be awash with violence after every QuakeCon, but that is not the case."
Super Torpedo
Here is a cross post from UltraQuiet No More about an apparent Iran underwater missile. I'm not sure how factual it is. Read this one its very interesting.
But if this thing does turn out to be real we are going to have some work to do on our ageing MK-48's. It might give me a new toy to play with when I get into the fleet. :^)

GOV
At this very moment I am extremely tired. Today I spent the afternoon and evening escorting and listening Presidential Candidate John McCain in College Station. Read the news here. Anyway Me and a few people from Prairie View NROTC as well as the Core Cadets from Texas A&M basically just followed him around asking questions, chatting doing all of that type of stuff. Right now I believe that I am more educated on a single candidate for office then I have ever been in my life, which is a good thing. To put it shortly as it’s not my intention to get into politics to much here on SyNONYM, but I really enjoy his ideas on foreign affairs but as for his domestic policy, I think it needs work. But after today McCain may have another vote. But the neatest thing other then meeting McCain, was meeting Former President Bush and his wife Barbra. I enjoyed that.
