LMFAO!!!

This is just too funny! :-)

Engineering Education in Context

An interesting email I got today from Banu, head of our school in Drexel.

A few profs won a grant to study student-faculty interaction. A really clever idea and I sincerely hope they do get some valuable info.

I hope, however, that their results are not biased and more than a single university gets involved. Perhaps some place from west coast?

Well, here’s the info:

Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends,

It is my pleasure to announce that Drs. Donald McEachron, Research Professor and Associate Director in BIOMED (PI), Rami Seliktar, Professor and Vice Director in BIOMED (Co-PI), Elisabeth Papazoglou, Assistant Professor in BIOMED (Co-PI), Fred Allen, Assistant Professor in BIOMED (Co-PI), and Sheila Vaidya, Associate Professor in the School of Education (Co-PI), were awarded an NSF grant in the amount of $499,997 for  the period January 1, 2009 – December 31, 2011, for their project titled, “Engineering Education in Context: An Evidence Based Intervention System.” The project proposes to develop and implement a sustainable, scalable and transferable system to measure and analyze selected characteristics of students, instructors, courses and curricula to increase success in attaining student learning outcomes and engineering program objectives. The main goal is to develop, test and implement an IT-supported knowledge management system that allows users to obtain high quality, high resolution, statistically significant information with proper controls in order to decide which factors are the most critical and how and when they can be most impacted by intervention. Achieving this goal will go a long way in continuing to improve assessment of our curriculum and helping our School meet future ABET accreditation requirements.


Please join me in congratulating Drs. McEachron, Allen, Papazoglou, Seliktar and Vaidya for this outstanding project which will enhance our ability to continuously assess and improve our curriculum and to impact our students’ learning performance and retention.

Best regards,

Banu Onaral

The Weather Girls
It’s Raining Men lyrics

Hi - we’re your weather girls.
And have we got news for you? You’ve gotta listen:
Get ready all you lonely girls and leave those umbrellas at home.
The humidity is risin - risin

Barometer’s gettin’ low - how low
Girl?
According to all sources - what sources now?
The street’s the place to go - we better hurry up.
’cause tonight for the first time - first time

Just about half past ten - half past ten

For the first time in history it’s gonna start rainin’ men.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
I’m gonna go out. I’m gonna let myself get

Absolutely soaking wet. It’s rainin’ men.
Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men
Ev’ry spe-ci-men:
Tall
Blond
Dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean.

God bless mother nature
She’s a single woman too.
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do.
She fought ev’ry angel
She reananged the sky

So that each and ev’ry woman
Could find a perfect guy.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
I feel stormy weather movin in about to begin

Hear the thunder don’t you lose your head

Rip off the roof and stay in bed.
God bless mother nature
She’s a single woman too. . . .

Ooh
It’s rainin’ men
Yeah.
Humidity is risin - humidity is risin

Barometer’s gettin’ low - it’s gettin’ low
Low
Low . . .
According to all sources - according to all sources
The street’s the place to go

Cause tonight for the first time - first time.
Just about half past ten - half past ten.
For the first time in history

It’s gotta start rainin’ men - it’s gotta start rainin’ men.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen.
It’s rainin’ men. Hallelujah
It’s rainin’ men - amen. . . .

OMG, f’ing Burger King bath

This is crazy!

A couple of funny pictures

LMFAO!  So true, don’t you think? :-)

Agreed, again.  I really trully dislike that show!  To give it a chance I’ve watched the first, what, 5 seasons I think…  Crap!

And again funny.  Me too, actually…  Hmm…

Seeds

In response to “You have to spread your seeds of creativity around,” Gogga replies:

“We all like to jerk off in the wind”

Dick

In discussing the difference between Gogga and other men:

“Everybody has dick. My dick comes with complex personality.”

8,516 words

So, I’m 8,516 words into my thesis.  About 60 pages so-far.  I think I’m very well past half-point and progressing very well (considering this was done in a few days).

This song goes well with the whole idea of writing.

Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Well, it’s actually this past Monday, but you’re right about “the rest is still unwritten” :-)

Cheers, mates!

I’m back to work.

Unwritten

I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can’t live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Swimming without music? Ah, that’s so 2007!

According to this article, there’s a new toy coming from Speedo.

Now, there’s nothing about this on Speedo’s site, but that article claims that this toy’s waterproof up to 3 meters and has 1 gig storage.

Kickass!!  Where do I get it??  I mean I am so in!

Do you all really think this (or something like it) would work?  I’m not convinced.

I swim.  I swim less than I’d like, but I do swim.  Matter of fact now that I’ve hurt myself playing soccer last week I’m sure to spend more time in swim sessions rather than lifting, so I sure could use something like this!

Would this work though?  Swimming’s kinda loud as-is. Hmm…

REdiscovery Institute and the truth about the elements

LMFAO!

Oh, so true…
