I liked the one about short people... lol. btw, what's an "ati flock"? All I know of is ATI the company. "Hardest to find schematic"... how odd.
"Bad side effects of nuclear waste"? I'll list them: Death, sickness, mutation. However, none of thse are genetic, if one person is exposed and then reproduces, the child is free of any "bad things" the parent got. But radiation exposure in small amounts is healthy. Also, very few people have ever suffered due to radiation. You may think that people get most of their radiation from industry, aka: nuclear power plants, this is false. This chart demonstrates this.
Radon comes from the earth and is trapped in your house due to insulation. The nuclear power industry would fall under "other".

What does your birth month say about you? brought to you by Quizilla
Well, at least the majority of them fitted me. It would be really odd to have all July people following into this group. However, Harry Potter was born at the end of July, just like I was, and he fits the above description as well (I mention this b/c I just finished re-reading Book 5)

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Reactor
So I was talking to a LSU graduate today about the coaches in college football, Spurrier, LSU's Coach, Bowden, etc (LSU fans are eager to talk football considering they won the National Championship; I'm really glad UF beat them, or I'd have no defense). I mentioned to him about UCF getting a new coach and the possibility that it would make recruiting in Florida even more difficult b/c you already have UF and two other teams trying to get all the good players in this region. He then asked me, "what's UCF?" I thought to myself, "LOL, I have been saying that for so long". This confirms what I have been saying on my website, people outside of Florida do not know of UCF's existance. The SkyofOctober website that confronted mine is flawed.

OmniPrime Grows
I just got internet access in my new appartment, and now I can upload all the changes to my website.
Video Game Reviews now Online
Last time I updated my Reviews Page, I made it so that I could add Video Game Reviews later, and now they are finally added. you can view my video game reviews using the following navigation
OmniPrime Index -> Reviews Page -> Video Game Reviews
or just by clicking on this link. I have two reviews done so far, and you can see the ones I plan on reviewing in the future.
Tall People vs. Short People Post Notcied
The person who wrote an editorial confronting UF's newspaper's ediorial about tall people making more than short people emailed me. Apparently, the Alligator edited his article, his full article is here. My post on the articles is here. His full article is much funnier than the one the Alligaor edited.
Picard vs. Kirk Page Under Attack
Someone just wrote in my forum that my Picard vs. Kirk page is a rip off of this page. My page is not a rip off of it! (well, not exactly) My page confronts his page! Also, he claimed to refuted all my reasons in the Kirk site that he is refferring to's forum. Refuted all my reasons? That had to be a hell of a lot of work. I had no idea some people had that much free time. Anyway, I could not find his post after looking for about 10 seconds (forum too huge).
OmniPrime: UF's Nuclear Waste now in XML
OmniPrime now has XML feed. Thanks is due to Branille for getting the path straighted out. The image that links to it is on the left, but it is meant to be viewed through a reader.

Parties with Neighbors, Incident at the Plant
I finished my first week at Entergy and had my second weekend here. My neighbors in my appartment are awesome. Each Friday and Saturday nights I have spent with them. I came here thinking I would know one other than Bradny and Gordon from UF, adn my coworkers. However, Friday night we had a party, and last night we went to a club in Baton Rouge, then had a party. If it wasn't for them, I'd prob. be very bored here in Baton Rouge. Work shall continue tomorrow. I might actually get work tomorrow since the woman who I will be working with is coming back from another nuke plant north of River Bend (where I work). So far it has been studying. There was an incident at the plant around 3am. I won't go into what happened here, but my boss was called around 3 and had to come to the plant. He left after the incident was resolved around 9am to go to bed, but then he was back at the plant before noon, that's hardcore. Anyways, last night was lots of fun. During the day I created a new page for my website, which will go up as soon as I get the CD to install BellSouth 56k. I am also re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix, I attemted to re-read Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, but LOTR takes longer to get into than Harry Potter.

Work with Entergy Begins
Finished my 3rd day working at Entergy today. I have spent most of my time reading over the past 3 days at work. First, studying for two exams so I can get security clearance, then studying diffusion equations, but I got bored studying that so I switched to studying Visual Basic, since I need that for what I will be working on anyway. I hear I will also have to learn FORTRAN as well. VB is much easier than C++. I also saw the plant's control room and by Friday we may see the rest of the plant. My days though have turned out to be very routine, having to get up at 5 and go to bed at 9, very dull. So little free time. Yeah, I could stay up until 2 like at UF, but then there would be no way in hell I'd get up at 5. Branille says I should do something, so I guess I should go do it...

America's plan of action
LOL, this is great. props to Alicia's DJ.
1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevich and the rest of those good ol' boys: We will never "interfere" again.
2. We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.
3. All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. France would welcome them.
4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5. No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" (for "deport") and it's back home baby.
6. The US and Canada will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7. Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give them is stolen or given to the Army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9. Move the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10. All Americans (Including Canadians)must go to charm and beauty school. That way no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The language we speak is ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE...

Ways to make Interstate 10 more interesting (satire)
 I-10 is perhaps the most boring road in the United States. It is straight with two lanes in each direction. The two most interesting things that happened to me while driving on it was a two minute shower and a drop in speed from 70 mph to 50 mph, but that wasn't interesting that was more like, wtf? This road needs some things to stop people from falling asleep or dying of boredom. Here's what I would do to make things more interesting.
1) Forget bridges, when it crosses any river, have ramps. That way, you have to accelerate really fast in order to make the jump and fly over to the other side. This would probably be bad for mega rivers like the Mississippi, but for the smaller ones, that would be awesome.
2) Get rid of the cops. Just imagine how interesting things could get without them.
3) Are you imagining #2 yet?
4) Add some tunnels, because tunnels are cool.
5) Get some Rock / Alternative / Rush Limbaugh stations in Mississippi / Alabama and get billboards that advertise them so I can easily find the stations.
6) Mountains, volcanoes, valleys, actually, anything but a straight road with trees on both sides.

In Baton Rouge
Tomorrow @ 7am my internship starts at the River Bend nuclear power plant. I arrived in Baton Rouge Friday. (Post on I-10 to come later) The furniture I am renting arrived yesterday, which meant I spent the first night in my apartment in a sleeping bag. My apartment is freakin' huge; it has two floors and all the usual amenities. Since I was in a dorm up until now, my apartment still looks barren since I had no use for a big TV, I brought the 13" I had in my dorm.
The people that live around me are awesome. The entire row seems to know each other. So far I have spent two nights in Baton Rouge, and there was a party each night. Btw, Louisiana girls can cook! Spaghetti, jambalaya, and sirloin steak stir-fry, so good... There is like, no point in me cooking anymore. But I shall still attempt it. Also, lots of Anti-UF sentiment here. Prob due to the fact that UF was the only team to beat LSU, the Baton Rouge team that won the national championship.
I have not signed up with anyone for internet access in my apartment yet, I may get BellSouth, $14.95 / mo. So until then, I will not have access to AIM. How am I even making this post then? Well, my apartment complex does have a computer lab, but it's at their front office which is very far away, so I will not come here often. Can't install programs, so no AIM here.

My Very Short Summer
It's been a while since I updated my blog. I blame this on dial up and not having time to just fool around online while in Orlando. I want to make a post on recent world events later. Now, for what I have been up to:
Got out of UF last Friday, got quite a work out bringing all my stuff down 3 flights of stairs with nothing in me but sushi. At home, I had to prep for my internship. I searched all over southern Baton Rouge for an apartment via web. Found the best place is the same place two other interns are staying at. So carpooling will be a plus. I also have a good amount of paperwork to do: a huge packet just to get past the nuclear power plant's security as well as Dept. of Justice and other forms. Phil said he'd give me ten bucks if I yelled "PRAISE ALLAH! MY TASK IS COMPLETE!" on the last day. I'd probably get tackled by plant security and spend the rest of my life in Cuba, but on the plus side, I'd have his 10 bucks. Also have a drug screening lined up for tomorrow.
I have also been hanging out with friends as much as I can over this week off. I went to Tijuana Flats with Steve and hung out at his house / AT&T mLife store. I went to a Chinese Restraunt with Phil and hung out at his house playing X-Box, watching Simpsons / Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And tomorrow I will go over to the UCF area to hang out with Dave. I wish I could of gotten together with several of my highschool friends at once. But one is in Germany and another in Chile. Also, BMHS grad is on next Sunday, which I cannot attend. A group of my friends are going, but I will be in Baton Rouge by then.
