09:28 am - MFF is a "Dry Con"
To those of you who will be drinking at MFF, let me give you some words of advice.
First, if you don't need to drink to have a good time at the convention, don't. That's a pretty simple one.
Second, if you need to drink to have a good time, do so within your room or your friend's room. Don't be carrying a 40 down through the lobby in front of hotel staff. Also, if you will be drinking in your room, try to keep the parties small and quiet. If your volume or rowdiness increase because of hotel consumption, you are much more likely to be visited by hotel staff nazis or worse, Wheeling Police.
Third, better yet, if you don't have to drink in your room, do so outside of the hotel. We share the parking lot with a sports bar, for the love of Pete. The bonus is that you don't have to drive to get there.
Finally, if you are confronted by hotel staff or con staff to give up your drink, comply. You are on THEIR property. That is their legal defense to tell you that you cannot drink at the hotel. They don't need a court document or the approval of a judge to prevent you from drinking even if you are over the age of 21. So, if confronted, comply and give up your drink. It's better than being removed from the con for being an asshole like one person already was this weekend.
Aside from that, have fun if you're there, have a good weekend if you're not there, and GO BUCKS!

12:03 am - Go Jump In A Lake!
http://www.thelantern.com/campus/where-did-the-mirror-lake-jump-come-from-1.935903
With finals on the horizon, students at The Ohio State University are quickly losing their sanity. The best sign of that is the young tradition that gained popularity in the 1990s and is growing ever more popular every year. That tradition is the Mirror Lake Jump on the Thursday night of Beat Michigan Week.
Even though it has roots going back to 1902, this tradition started as a hazing ritual for freshmen at OSU into a rally of several thousands to beat Michigan. After enrolling at OSU-Lima last year, several of my OSU friends had told me about the Mirror Lake Jump, whether they had or had not taken part in it, and included more details. The most important detail is how damn cold the lake is in late November in Ohio.
So, tomorrow night, my friends, roommates and I will head to campus late to take part in the Mirror Lake Jump. I am hoping to get to see a lotta friends from Lima who I haven't seen much of this school year. I'm also hoping to avoid hypothermia.
Either way, I'm very much looking forward to making a memory here at The Ohio State University. And for those of you who are curious, it's suppose to be 45°F and cloudy tomorrow night ;)

12:16 am - Top Twenty-five before Tip-off Today
The men's college basketball season begins today. Last year's season was capped off with Michigan State making an improbable run to the Final Four in their own backyard, only to fall and fall hard to heavily favored North Carolina in one of the most lopsided championship games of all time.
This year's preseason favorite is head and shoulders above the pack. But the real interest lays with the number of new names in the Top 25. Can some of these football schools and mid-majors make some noise in March or will the traditional powers rise up and continue the college basketball landscape for one more year?
Below are my personal Top 25 heading into the 2009-10 college basketball season:
| # | School | Comments |
| 1 | Kansas | With 2 preseason All-Americans, the Jayhawks are the consensus #1 in November. |
| 2 | North Carolina | Don't forget that last year's Heels had the best bench players in college basketball history. |
| 3 | Michigan State | Tournament darling, Kalin Lucas, should lead Sparty to another Big Ten title and another Final Four berth. |
| 4 | Tennessee | Bruce Pearl has turned this former SEC doormat into a Final Four contender in no time. What's next? |
| 5 | Purdue | Speaking of turnarounds, Purdue is back to their oldselves just 3 years into the Painter era. |
| 6 | Duke | Still the clear #2 in the ACC, this is Duke's best chance in years to outshine their Tobacco Road rival. |
| 7 | West Virginia | With Bob Huggins, WVU has as good of a chance as ever to win a very top-heavy Big East Conference. |
| 8 | Louisville | If the Cards can ignore the never-ending drama surrounding Pitino, they will turn heads in the Big East title race. |
| 9 | Butler | Returning everybody, including the bench, from last year, how can you not like Butler playing into the second weekend of the tourney? |
| 10 | Texas | Yes, they're the 2nd best team in the Big 12. No, they're nowhere near as good as KU. |
| 11 | Ohio State | If they can avoid chemistry issues that pledge them annually, the Bucks are a threat to win a very tough Big Ten Conference. |
| 12 | Memphis | With Calipari at UK and UAB and Tulsa catching up quick in Conference USA, this will be the Tigers' most challenging season since the "Big East exodus". |
| 13 | Villanova | Scottie Reynolds is an amazing talent, too bad his supporting cast is mediocre at best. |
| 14 | Connecticut | The talent just isn't there for a national title run for UConn. But, then again, it is UConn. |
| 15 | Wisconsin | The Badgers' slow-down, defense-first style of play will keep them in games against the Big Ten's best and the Summit League's worst. |
| 16 | Pittsburgh | With a team attitude and depth on the bench, Pittsburgh has all the tools to shock the nay-sayers in the Big East. |
| 17 | Missouri | Traditonally a football rivalry, Mizzou has the talent to add some spice to basketball's Border War in 2009-10. |
| 18 | California | A weak Pac-10 means the Golden Bears could win their first conference title in nearly 50 years. |
| 19 | UCLA | But, when you talk about the Pac-10 title race, you can never leave out UCLA. This year is no exception. |
| 20 | Xavier | Once again, the experienced Muskies, with inexperienced coach, Chris Mack, lead an ever-improving Atlantic-10 Conference. |
| 21 | BYU | The Cougars lead what will be a very crowded race at the top of the Mountain West. |
| 22 | Mississippi State | The Bulldogs should dominate the SEC West. But they'll get a real test when both Kentucky and Tennessee make late-season trips to Starkville. |
| 23 | Georgetown | While this young bunch may not be much this year, if they buy into Thompson basketball, the Hoyas will be a national title threat in 2010-11. |
| 24 | Texas A&M | No, Acie Law did not return. But, when Donald Sloan is out on the court, you will think he did. |
| 25 | Minnesota | Tubby Smith's team showed massive improvements during the season in his first year. Heaven knows what a whole offseason will do to the Gophers. |

08:29 am - Class Schedule for Winter 2010
Among all the craziness in my life recently, I still have my school life keeping me busy. Yesterday was when my window opened to schedule classes for next winter. I decided to be crazy and schedule 17 credit hours worth of classes. The biggest difference between this quarter and past quarters: 2 of my 4 classes will count toward my major GPA. Those classes are Math 254 and CSE 201. Also, I will begin work on my Statistics minor this winter by taking Stat 528.
The only downside to this schedule is that I'm on the waitlist for Physics 112, 2nd in line to get in, at the moment. This is because when my window opened, all of the Physics 112 options were waitlisted.
There are plenty of upsides. First, I don't have any classes before 11:30am. Talk about getting to stay up late and sleep in EVERYDAY! Second, I'm out of class by 3:18pm everyday except Thursday. Also, unlike this quarter, my classes are condensed. No more spending 8 hours on campus for only 3 classes like I do Wednesdays this quarter. All-in-all, these 17 creidt hours will keep me busy, but help with my time management, which has been an issue this quarter :)
Schedule for Winter Quarter 2010
| Dept-Course | Title | Component | Crdt Hrs | Days | Time | Location |
| CSE 201 | Elementary Computer Programming | Laboratory | 4 | T | 11:30am-12:18pm | Caldwell Lab 112A |

03:26 pm - Impulse Momentum Lab
As several of you have now heard, I was involved in an auto accident yesterday evening. Let me go over the events of last night.
I had left my apartment on my way to a local basketball rules meeting in Bexley. I stopped for a snack, then headed north on Olentangy River Road to North Broadway Street. Now, this is a weird intersection. If you're looking to get onto State Route 315, you have to do it from two different roads. If you want to go south, you go straight. If you want to go north, you turn right. Well, I got into the wrong lane and had to make a right turn. I thought to myself, "I'll just jump on 315 North, and get to Bexley some other way."
I got to the intersection of the on-ramp and North Broadway. I had to make a left turn to get onto the ramp. Both myself and on-coming traffic had right lights. It was a busy night so I was waiting for a while. I saw an opening when the only vehicle, a white SUV, had its turn signal on to take a different ramp onto the same highway. I started to make my left turn onto the ramp, I had turned a full 90 degrees, when I heard a horn...
I didn't black out, but it all happened so fast, that I can't recall details. I was in shock. The airbags were deployed. The engine was still running. The passenger side window exploded on impact. I shiver with fear whenever I think about what could've happened if I had a friend riding shotgun with me. My front driver's side tire was wrapped around a pole. There was smoke, there was a lot of smoke. Finally, I saw that driver of the SUV in front of me. She was just as shaken as I was.
My accident on Google Maps
I got out of the car, a million emotions and questions running through my head. How was I going to make the meeting? How was I going to get home this weekend? What if a friend had been riding with me? How am I going to get to MFF? How am I going to afford a new car? There were several people there who stopped to call for help, to check to make sure we were okay. They were angels in disguise, absolutely wonderful people.
I never said a word to the other driver. I called my mom to tell her what happened. I called my dear friend, robypanther and asked if he could give me a ride. Over the course of the following hour or two, I turned off my car's engine, retrieved all my important belongings from my car, called AAA to get my car towed, filed a claim with my insurance company, and watched my car get towed away.
After all of that, robypanther went to his place where we watched Game 6 and I slowly recovered from the ordeal. I am truly blessed to have the best friends a guy could ever ask for. He finally took me home after the game, where I spent way too much time pondering how much different life is going to be in the coming months.
At the scene, the officer cited me for failure to yield on a left turn. I have a court date set and plan on fighting this. Though, I don't like my chances. Have already talked with my claim adjuster. Now, it's just time to take things as they come to me.
I already miss my 99 Dodge Stratus. I bought that car back in June 2003 when it only had 61,000 miles on it. I paid it off in 2006. It was the first car that I had ever truly owned and that car was mine for 6 1/2 years, for 145,000 miles. That car had been with me longer than I've known most of the people who will read this. It had truly become a part of me. And that car, that part of me, will be gone forever.

05:51 pm - Stolen from nbowa: Map of Visited States
Unlike most, I had the advantage of traveling for a living for almost four years. But even before I started delivering motorhomes, I tallied almost half of the states. Below is a map of every state I've been to and a memory or two from each state :)
create your own personalized map of the USA
STATES
Alabama: Driving through southeastern Alabama, horrified at the amount of furniture that was placed in front of trailers.
Arizona: Visiting theome after one of my runs, seeing a roadrunner in his frontyard. Ending a trip that involved 27 hours of non-stop driving starting in Missouri.
Arkansas: Stopping on Day 2 of several trips to visit rhettfoxcoon on my trips to the Southwest.
California: Going to an A's-Indians game with nerfcoyote and later hanging out with rikoshi. "Aaaah CHOO!"
Colorado: The scenery of the Rockies as you approach Denver from the east.
Connecticut: Hanging out with twitchdawoof and other furs after making a delivery in Windsor Locks.
Delaware: Noticing the excessive number of Wawas in the state. It's like a Target-sized convenience store.
Florida: Spending 7 weeks down in Daytona Beach in 2001 attending Harry Wendelstedt Umpiring School.
Georgia: Making my surprise appearance to FWA in 2006, after telling everybody that I wouldn't be attending.
Idaho: Arguing with an RV dealer in Meridian over minor errors in the paperwork that almost resulted in me having to drive the RV back to Indiana.
Illinois: Living there in Pesotum for four months, a failed plan, but a great learning experience nonetheless.
Indiana: All the times my friends and I drove to Fort Worth because there was nothing to do in Celina.
Iowa: Sleeping in an RV one night, waking up to frost on the inside of the windshield. Visiting nbowa on a couple of occasions.
Kansas: Corn, corn, corn, and more fucking corn!
Kentucky: Spending 3 days with the OSU-Lima baseball team in Williamsburg, getting our butts handed to us by the University of the Cumberlands in 4 games.
Louisiana: Making a delivery to Breaux Bridge, getting to visit jase_husky along the way.
Maine: Making a delivery to Bangor.
Maryland: Driving a high-profile RV over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which goes 186 feet above the water.
Massachusetts: Getting a steak and cheese sub from D'Angelo, one of the best sandwiches you'll ever get from a chain restaurant.
Michigan: It's Michigan. Enough said.
Minnesota: Getting to see nauta, mfwolf, and alkora on my numerous trips to Anoka.
Mississippi: Visiting electropaw this past summer, canoeing with several furs in Hattiesburg.
Missouri: Seeing a Blue Jackets-Blues hockey game with ramalion.
Montana: Stopping in Shelby, learning the story of the Jack Dempsey vs. Tommy Gibbons boxing match in 1923, an economic disaster.
Nebraska: Visiting snapcat, John, and seeing Rosenblatt Stadium up close and personal.
Nevada: Getting to fly an airplane for the first and only time in my life thanks to pup1k.
New Hampshire: Driving through.
New Jersey: Crashing at snow_kitty's oceanview apartment after a delivery.
New Mexico: Getting to drive through Albuquerque, one of the most beautiful large cities in my opinion.
New York: Wondering around Manhattan after a delivery on Long Island while waiting for my bus back home to leave.
North Carolina: Getting to see a North Carolina-Duke basketball game in Durham with tervicz back in 2004.
North Dakota: Loving Fargo, hating the rest of the state.
Ohio: I live here! :D
Oklahoma: Getting my only ticket while delivering an RV for speeding in a construction zone.
Pennsylvania: Visiting tosdragon, attending AC, seeing some of the most beautiful sunsets in the Appalachian Mountains.
Rhode Island: Learning that PC-URI is still a rivalry, at least to them.
South Carolina: My brother catching some kind of small tree lizard on one of our many family vacations. Apparently, it's illegal to remove them from the state...oops.
Tennessee: Going to the Predators-Blue Jackets game with ramalion back in 2003.
Texas: Going through Crawford with JimBob, seeing the ranch owned by George W. Bush.
Utah: Being absolutely amazed by the scenery, from the Rockies to the Salt Flats west of Salt Lake City.
Virginia: Driving through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel with my family on another family vacation.
West Virginia: Noticing how almost everything is named after Robert C. Byrd. Seeing the dome of their capitol building made out of gold.
Wisconsin: All the family vacations up there during Thanksgiving or the summer to see my mom's side of the family.
Wyoming: The long 400-mile trips across the state with no scenery and no people.

11:50 am - Countdown to June 11, 2012 Continues
This quarter is just flying by. We're already halfway through with 5 more weeks plus finals to go. As few of you have noticed, my appearances on LJ, which used to be frequent, have slowed down to once in a great while. I'm unsure of why this is the case. I don't dislike my friends, I didn't lose my love for writing (because I never had it in the first place), and I didn't lose my need to be the center of attention (I think). Honestly, I think I've just grown out of LJ. Yes, I plan on still posting here every so often, just not as much as I used to.
My roommate situation gets a B+. No, they're not furry, but that's probably a good thing. Communication between us three is superb, they're doing their part to keep the common living area clean, and bills are being paid on time and in full. There are a few quirks here and there that I won't go into on a public entry. But all-in-all, I would not be opposed to keeping this living arrangement with Mitch and Garrett until graduation. :)
Classes are going well, I guess. Calculus 3 is the toughest and having a loser as a professor doesn't help. He's one of those low speakers and if you don't sit in the first three rows, you can't hear a word he says. On top of that, his English is broken, so even if you can hear him, you may not be able to understand him. We just had our first midterm in that course. Class average was 30-32%. Not outta 40, not outta 50, outta 100. I got a 45% which is still embarrassing, but it's better than the class average.
Physics is coming really easy to me, though it's the series for non-engineering majors (110 series) as opposed to the physics my roommate is taking (130 series), which is for engineering majors. Accounting is difficult only because we met only once a week for 2 hours. I got an 85% on my first midterm in that class and need to hope to do better on the second midterm and final.
High school football season is over with, another profitable year come and gone. I still need to take my Class One test so that I can work on Friday nights in 2010. My other job with the Ohio State athletics department is a blast. I get into several sporting events for free, including last week's preseason game between the Cavs and Celtics at the Schottenstein Center and this weekend's OSU football game vs. New Mexico State. My boss is an awesome person as well. I just wish I could get more hours.
Saying with the job theme, I'm thinking this'll be my only year in this sector of the OSU athletic department. After this year, I wanna try out for Scarlet & Gray Sports Radio, which is the students sports radio station. Being in the webstreaming sector, we have to work with these guys all the time, so I have a good idea of what they do already. However, many of these broadcasters are an embarrassment to the profession. Seriously, these guys make even Cris Collinsworth look good... no, nothing can make Cris Collinsworth look good.
I need to get a hold of my advisor and talk to him about taking the first of the actuarial exams before the end of my sophomore year. I'm going to shoot for some kind of internship this summer, which is rare for anyone in my field to get an internship before their junior year. One of the possibilities is Celina Insurance Group back in Celina. Not only do I have the advantage of being from Celina, but I have a connection with their current President and CEO, whose son played baseball in Celina through high school, many of those games, I was the umpire behind the plate or in the field.
Yes, I know I was very excited about moving to Columbus, and don't get me wrong, I love it here. But it has yet to feel like home. Give it two years and that may change, but I'm definately not rooted here in central Ohio. If I can get my foot in the door with a career in Columbus, Celina, Atlanta, Iowa, California, or Canada, I will. I love my family and I love my friends, but I have to do what is best for me when my time at The Ohio State University is up on June 11, 2012.

Before you even go for this. It's my art skillz, and they suck. So, you'll probably do this outta the goodness of your heart. :D
Here's a physics problem that has been killing me. And I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help! Please! Much love!
A spider crawling across a table leaps onto a magazine blocking its path. The initial velocity of the spider is 0.860 m/s at an angle of 36.6° above the table, and it lands on the magazine 0.0750 s after leaving the table. Ignore air resistance. How thick is the magazine? Express your answer in millimeters.
P.S.: If you get 43.575 mm, you're wrong. That's the answer I keep getting :/

05:38 pm - I Was There
Yes. I was one of the 106,033 at the football game between Ohio State and Southern Cal.
Yes, it was a disappointing ending to a great game.
Yes, I wish we could've won. But, the Big Ten season starts in two weeks.
The one thing I gained from my first experience at Ohio Stadium, aka, The Horseshoe: a new respect for band lemmings. Many props to THE Ohio State University Marching Band.
To call "Script Ohio" impressive is an insulting understatement.
TBDBITL!
Extra points to anyone who can tell me what The Ohio State Marching Band is playing during "Script Ohio" :)

05:31 pm - Offended by Facts
Oops, I did it again.
It looks like a couple of people have their panties twisted in a knot over my recent remarks over women not being able to do mathematics. Now, if you saw the post and the nature of it, it is clear to most that the comments were made as a joke. So, instead of making this post a big, long apology to all the women I offended, I'm going to go the opposite direction. I'm going to defend my statement that women are not as good at math as men.
When you look through the history of algebra, you will learn the names of many great mathematicians. Omar Khayyam, Zhu Shijie, Mahavira, and Rene Descartes are all credited with their historic discoveries in algebra. If we look at calculus, Sir Issac Newton and Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss are the fathers of calculus. Much credit is still given to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann. But when talking about great mathematicians of all time, you must not forget the works of Archimedes and Leonhard Euler. Do you know what all of them have in common? They are all men!
Now, doubters would point out that this just proves that women were held back centuries ago from learning mathematics. In many cases they could use that excuse. So, let's go to modern day testing. The SAT Reasoning Test began back in 1972 and continues to this day. Any high school student who wanted to get into a good college has taken this test. What do the scores show? They show that year-in and year-out men outscore women by 30-40 points on the mathematics portion of the test. Though, if you read down further, you see that Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders scored over 40 points higher than whites.
But how about in the real world? How do women fit into careers that require a strong background in mathematics like engineering? According to the National Science Foundation, women only make up 22% of all graduates with an engineering degree and 23% of all those with a computer & information sciences degree. Physical and related sciences are no different, where men outnumber women 2-to-1 and in mathematics & statistics 3-to-2. What's even worse is that after college, women only make up 11% of engineers and 26% of all mathematical & computer scientists. And the higher the salaries in these occupations, the fewer women one would see.
Does this mean that women are completely retarded when it comes to mathematics? Absolutely not. Emmy Noether is labeled as the most important woman in mathematics, just ask anyone with a physics degree. From personal experience, I can tell you that the best student in my calculus class last fall was a female who was majoring in architecture. But a few rare examples do not discount the fact that men do better in mathematics in school and go further in careers that require a strong background in mathematics.

01:40 pm - Joke stolen from theloniousfox
A mathematician and an engineer agreed to take part in a psychological test. They sat on one side of a room and waited not knowing what to expect. A door opened on the other side and a naked woman came in the room and stood on the far side. They were then instructed that every time they heard a beep they could move half the remaining distance to the woman. They heard a beep and the engineer jumped up and moved halfway across the room while the mathematician continued to sit, looking disgusted and bored. When the mathematician didn't move after the second beep he was asked why. "Because I know I will never reach the woman." The engineer was asked why he chose to move and replied, "Because I know that very soon I will be close enough for all practical purposes!"
(malowolf said a computer scientist will go straight for the girl, cause they have no structed rules to begin with. I said if there was a computer scientist in the room, he'd be eyeing the mathematician or the engineer.)
(Unless they were both female, which the joke does not assume, and for good reason. Women can't do math.) XD

12:18 pm - Furry NFL Pick Em
I know several of you out there enjoy football season whether it be for the love of the game, the enjoyment of free triple-headers on Sundays, or just looking for an excuse to try a new dip for tortilla chips. Many take this enjoyment to new levels with fantasy football and waste hours of your boss's time researching who should be your #3 wideout and which quarterback will do better with their new team, Matt Cassel or Jay Cutler.
But, at the end of the day, football is about wins and losses. That's where this comes in. Think you know who's going to win the always important games played each week? Join a NFL pick 'em group just for furs.
It's simple!

Give your pick set a name. Please try to make it something similar to your furry name so we're not trying to figure how who "I Luv MurrPurrSuits" is. Then fix all the other settings and agree to the terms of service.

On Monday, I flew back into Columbus after my 5-day vacation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was a very fun time with old friends like electropaw and loup_garou_wolf, new friends like Starpup and Kreig Fox, and fun activities like fursuit Wii, going to the beach, and 5-hour long canoe trips. And when I parked my car in front of my house on Tuesday, my summer was practically over.
Today is Thursday, August 13th. I'm just over 4 weeks away from my move to Columbus and just under 6 weeks away from starting classes at The Ohio State University. I have so much to do between now and then.
My main concern at the moment is getting plans solidified for my move on Friday, September 11th. Travis, a local friend of mine, is the only person in this state I know with a pickup truck. But, it's not in the best condition for multiple trips to Columbus in one day. I also have to get some money together so my roommates and I can get some items for the apartment, mostly small stuff like silverware, dishes, etc.
Another major concern is money itself. I just got an e-mail from the head of the OSU Athletics Communication Department this afternoon, telling me I did not get the job I applied for. The reasoning was that they filled the position with someone who planned on going into sports after graduation. However, she referred me to their "webstreaming area", stating they are interviewing and I may be interested since I applied for a job with her department. I also sent an e-mail out, but it won't be the last. Failing that, I plan on continuing my officiating in Columbus over the next three years. I've been e-mailing assignors and athletic directors, but not much yet.
Then there is buying textbooks, which they just released the list for recently. Have several friends who'll be in the area in just over 2 weeks, which I'm very much looking forward to. Yeah, summer break is almost over. And to be honest, I'm kinda looking forward to what September will bring :)
