Here is another essay I wrote for my Creative Thinking & Research class. In it I share my own experiance with gaining wieght when I quite smoking. It was horrific and I was scared to death. I was afraid I was just going to keep getting bigger and bigger.

Luckily I found out what was happening. In the process I found I wasn't alone, and that 66% of my fellow American citizens where going throught the same thing.

Enjoy! I hope you get as much out of it as I have writting it.

I'm often amazed at the technology used in this world to persuade one group of people to hate, dislike, and even at times demonize other groups or individuals. The term used for this type of technology is called demonization. I understand that some would disagree and not call this a technology, but I do think it is a technology. It is not something we are born to do. Hating people without direct experiance is man made. Therefor, I call it a technology.

I have written an essay for one of my classes regarding one of the more popular uses of this technology title "Demonization of Black People in Advertizing." This is a very real and present practice. Fundamentally, this is a practice that affects us all.

One down and six more to go!, my first week in college went very well. I finished my assignments in no time flat and I'm ready for my 2nd week of school. So far it has been a no brainer. It is far easier then I originally thought.

I have uploaded my homework and it can be viewed here.

Essay 2) Critical Thinking & Research - Why American's are FAT!

Feel free to comment on my Essays. I very much look forward to any and all feedback.

"The Story of Jesus"

There are as many as 13 stories very similar to the jesus story as far back as 8,000 B.C. Yeap that is correct 8,000 years before Jesus. That is a long time ago. So just to make clear and so that I'm confident you understand, as far back as Eight Thousand Years ago there have been stories told of a "God" that was born of a virgin on our planet earth and that traveled the lands to save humanity, all traveled for one year then they died or they were killed and rose again three days later to go back into the heavens.

Think about this, this story of Jesus has been told 13 times as far back as 8,000 years ago.

If your chosen religion is Southern Baptist, then this is something you just might want to look at.

End Transmission for now!

In Central Texas we have a nasty little spider called the Brown Recluse. A friend of mine sent me some progressive pictures of what happens if bitten by one of these nasty little suckers.

This is not for the faint at heart!
You should eat breakfast first.....

This is the most poisonous spider in the US.

              IP Filter Based Firewalls HOWTO

              Brendan Conoboy 
            Erik Fichtner 


                Wed Dec 11 12:42:58 EST 2002

     Abstract:  This document is intended to introduce a new
     user to the IP Filter firewalling package and,  at  the
     same  time,  teach  the user some basic fundamentals of
     good firewall design.


1.  Introduction

     IP Filter is a great little firewall package.  It  does
just   about   everything  other  free  firewalls  (ipfwadm,
ipchains, ipfw) do, but it's also  portable  and  does  neat
stuff  the  others don't.  This document is intended to make
some cohesive sense of the  sparse  documentation  presently
available for ipfilter.  Futhermore, this document will also
serve as documentation for  syntatically  compatible  packet
filters  (notably  pf)  and, wherever applicable, will point
out any important  differences;  however  this  document  is
specifically  targeted at the rules language and syntax, and
is not intended to be platform specific.  Some prior  famil-
iarity  with  packet  filtering  will be useful, however too
much familiarity may make this  document  a  waste  of  your
time.   For  greater understanding of firewalls, the authors
recommend reading Building  Internet  Firewalls,  Chapman  &
Zwicky,  O'Reilly  and  Associates;  and TCP/IP Illustrated,
Volume 1, Stevens, Addison-Wesley.

This is the Short & Skinny, Long & Short and Quick & Dirty to understanding your Credit/FICO scores.

The Who:
The big three repositories that keep track of your credit ratings are:

• Experian
• TransUnion
• Equifax

Your FICO can range from 200 to 900. According to this model, the higher your score, the less likely you are to default on your loan. FICO is a mathematical model created by the Experian credit bureau as a tool for lenders to use in evaluating the risk associated with lending you money. FICO stands for Fair Isaac Company, the company that created the original scoring model.

What makes up your FICO score?
There are 5 factors that make up your credit score.

Re-Scoring/Recasting:
Every 30-50 days your FICO score is recast by the credit bureau
