wow, it's been 4 months, and I just remembered I had this for some reason.

Well, today we have no school, accaully we've only had school on monday of this week, which isn't good, considering that we will have to make it up at the end of the year-_-'.

Well, nothing new is in my love life, other than there's this one girl whom I really like, but she likes another, so yea, thats all down the drain...grr...but ohwell, I've found another, but she lives up in Hamlet, but ohwell, we talk for at least an hour every night on the phone, so all's good^_^, well I think that's all for this subject.

Now for the school catagory. Well, it's going fairly well, AP Chemistry isn't kicking my butt as bad as I thought it would, which is good, I somehow managed to get a 75% on my mid term, which made me a happy man. In english we have to read some totally craptastic book called The Adventrures of Huck Fin, I totally hate the book with a passion...and then we have Computer Applications, lmao, it's a joke class, all I do is play games, and I got an 81 in the class. Now for US hisory, that's also a joke class, I don't do half the crap in that class, and I made a 87% in the class, and w are going over WWII, and that will skyrocket my grade, because WWII is such an EASY subjectbut also I've done so much research on that subject it's not funny. Well, I think that's all I want to write in this subject.

Well, now for sports. Wrestling season got over about a month ago, and track season is soon, and yea, we had 3 people make it past sectionals, those people were Chris Maxwell, Cory Basset, and Jacob Gick I think, and only Maxwell made it past that, and that's very suprising, becuase he's a freshman, but also he's one of our best wrestlers. Now for Track, I'm not sure what I will be doing this year, because I was a slacker and didn't do it last year, and yea... but I'm picking it back up this year, but I haven't been to conditions in a while, becuase of the weather, and I would need a ride home, seeing as how I don't have a car anymore-_-'

Well, that's all for now, I might decide to update this in another 4 months or less, it depends of if I remember.

Well, Lata people,

WASHINGTON - Scientists are boldly going where only fiction has gone before — to develop a Cloak of Invisibility. It isn't quite ready to hide a Romulan space ship from Capt. James T. Kirk or to disguise

In this first successful experiment, researchers from the United States and England were able to cloak a copper cylinder.

It's like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky.

"We have built an artificial mirage that can hide something from would-be observers in any direction," said cloak designer David Schurig, a research associate in Duke University's electrical and computer engineering department.

For their first attempt, the researchers designed a cloak that prevents microwaves from detecting objects. Like light and radar waves, microwaves usually bounce off objects, making them visible to instruments and creating a shadow that can be detected.

Cloaking used special materials to deflect radar or light or other waves around an object, like water flowing around a smooth rock in a stream. It differs from stealth technology, which does not make an aircraft invisible but reduces the cross-section available to radar, making it hard to track.

The new work points the way for an improved version that could hide people and objects from visible light.

Conceptually, the chance of adapting the concept to visible light is good, Schurig said in a telephone interview. But, he added, "From an engineering point of view it is very challenging."

The cloaking of a cylinder from microwaves comes just five months after Schurig and colleagues published their theory that it should be possible. Their work is reported in a paper in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

"We did this work very quickly ... and that led to a cloak that is not optimal," said co-author David R. Smith, also of Duke. "We know how to make a much better one."

The first working cloak was in only two dimensions and did cast a small shadow, Smith said. The next step is to go for three dimensions and to eliminate any shadow.

Viewers can see things because objects scatter the light that strikes them, reflecting some of it back to the eye.

"The cloak reduces both an object's reflection and its shadow, either of which would enable its detection," Smith said.

The cloak is made of metamaterials, which are mixtures of metal and circuit board materials such as ceramic, Teflon or fiber composite.

In an ideal situation, the cloak and the item it is hiding would be invisible. An observer would see whatever is beyond them, with no evidence the cloaked item exists.

"Since we do not have a perfect cloak at this point, there is some reflection and some shadow, meaning that the background would still be visible just darkened somewhat. ... We now just need to improve the performance of cloaking structures."

In a very speculative application, he added, "one could imagine 'cloaking' acoustic waves, so as to shield a region from vibration or seismic activity."

Natalia M. Litchinitser, a researcher at the University of Michigan department of electrical engineering and computer science who was not part of the research team, said the ideas raised by the work "represent a first step toward the development of functional materials for a wide spectrum of civil and military applications."

Joining Schurig and Smith in the project were researchers at Imperial College in London and SensorMetrix, a materials and technology company in San Diego.

The research was supported by the Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program and the United Kingdom Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

WOOT, I am working the next chrysalis flight in november!!!, WOOT!!!!!!!, well, that is all that I wanted to say here, be happy I update everyonce in a while people, lol,

well, I have steak I have to go eat

OUT

Currently Listening Hellbilly Deluxe By Rob Zombie Super Beast see related

well, I really don't care about this thing, and I had totally forgotten I had it until I got an e-mail about the new weblog entry..., but ohwell, the only thing I have done is helped make a clan on starwars battlefront 2, and I also got ace combat zero(EFFING AWESOME GAME!!!)but yea....my parents are gone for the week, they left last friday, and get back this saturday, I accually get some peace and quite...for once...you poeple need to check out my signature for my clan website, here is a link.http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/Blackknight3088/testsig2copy.gif

but, yea.....my car is finally fixed also, and I am happy again, haha....and also, yesterday I met the most amazing girl I've ever seen in my life, but I can't tell you the details, because none of you deserve them, haha., but yea.....

I'm out

Nuhaku over and out!

hey hey, I am going to only write about saturday, because nothing else has happend,

ok,  saturday at about 1:45 I got a call from April(my girl), asking if I wanted to come over, well yea, I went over there, we watched the end of 2 movies, Meet the Fockers, and some other movie, that I don't know, but that isn't the point...but at about 4:00 we left to go pick up Hattie, to go and see RV, it was accually fairly good, but yea, I'm not going to go into detail with that, the movie ended at about 6 and we went to the mall for about an hour, I was dragged into alot of stores, but I don't really care though, we went into the pet store thing, and messed with the puppies, and suprisingly saw Mr. Hentzimen, after about a grand total of an hour we left the mall, to go back to April's house, we took Hattie home, and went back to April's where we watched some nascar, and then after her dad went to his room we watched some of Shark Tale, but we didn't get to finish it, because I had to leave, but ohwell, it was about 10:49 when I left, so yea it was a good day for the most part
