I'm here on behalf of the <b><a href="http://www.arnold-air.org/" target="_blank">Arnold Air Society</b></a> to attend our annual executive board meeting representing schools in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Also included are several social functions, most notably the Airmen of the Year dinner and Air Force anniversary gala. I'll return to Knoxvegas on 14 Sep.<br /><br />I plan to sightsee as much as possible (only my second time in DC), so look for pictures as the trip goes on. That is, of course, assuming I can continue to mooch free wireless off of "Yoni and Kitt," who are presumably located somewhere nearby in my hotel. http://jayarr.livejournal.com/66702.html travel military college life tired public http://jayarr.livejournal.com/66388.html Wed, 17 Aug 2005 07:01:57 GMT Limerence?

Twenty is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10. It is also the sum of the first four triangular numbers, making it a tetrahedral number. Twenty is the smallest abundant number that is not a multiple of 3. It is a Harshad number and a self number.<br /><br />The ordinal form is “twentieth.” Twenty is factored 2^2 * 5. Twenty is represented in Roman numerals as XX, and in binary as 10100.<br /><br />It is the total number of digits on the human body, which makes it a possible candidate for a numeral system. Twenty is used as a radix for vigesimal number systems.

Someone who is exactly twenty years old is described as hatachi.<br /><br />The “Twenty Year Curse” refers to the pattern of the president of the United States elected every twenty years starting with 1840 to die in office.

The magazine showcases fashion and photography much like its parent publication Vogue.<br /><br />Baume, who said she looks to European fashion runways to spot what will be hot for American teens, said designers have been focusing on “ladylike and almost old-fashioned” styles that were inspired by the 1950s.<br /><br />That would phase out the belly-baring, skintight numbers championed by the likes of Britney Spears. “There is nothing form-fitting about the latest fashions,” Baume said.</i></blockquote>Read the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050608/lf_nm/fashion_modesty_dc_1" target="_blank"><b>full article</b></a>.<br /><p align="right"><b><font size="1"><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/jayarr/6264.html"><b>Disclaimer & Copyright Notice</b></a></font></b></p> http://jayarr.livejournal.com/62517.html "Who's Sorry Now" by Connie Francis pleased public http://jayarr.livejournal.com/62407.html Mon, 30 May 2005 21:08:29 GMT Memorial Day 2005 http://jayarr.livejournal.com/62407.html Over 1,223,275 American soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen have died in America’s wars since 1775.

Sanger writes in today’s edition of <i><a href="http://www.nytimes.com" target="_blank"><b>The New York Times</b></a></i>:<blockquote><i>WASHINGTON, April 24 - The Bush administration, facing a series of recent provocations from North Korea, is debating a plan to seek a United Nations resolution empowering all nations to intercept shipments in or out of the country that may contain nuclear materials or components, say senior administration officials and diplomats who have been briefed on the proposal.<br /><br />The resolution envisioned by a growing number of senior administration officials would amount to a quarantine of North Korea, though, so far at least, President Bush’s aides are not using that word. It would enable the United States and other nations to intercept shipments in international waters off the Korean Peninsula and to force down aircraft for inspection.</i></blockquote><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/25/politics/25prexy.html?ex=1272081600&en=94ad0d41a2140d36&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss" target="_blank"><b>Full story available.</b></a><p align="right"><font size="1"><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/jayarr/6264.html"><b>Disclaimer & Copyright Notice</b></a></font></p> http://jayarr.livejournal.com/60198.html awake public http://jayarr.livejournal.com/60014.html Tue, 19 Apr 2005 23:39:06 GMT Viva il Papa! http://jayarr.livejournal.com/60014.html <blockquote><i>Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam!

Ballots from those votes were burned and produced black smoke, indicating that no choice had been made. Two more votes are scheduled later today. When a new pope is chosen, smoke from the Vatican chimney will be white; the next ballot burning is expected at 1500 EDT.<br /><p align="right"><font size="1"><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/jayarr/6264.html"><b>Disclaimer & Copyright Notice</b></a></font></p> http://jayarr.livejournal.com/59705.html tired public
