Not all of it was spent on the area 51,,,The extra rule involving centuries is an additional correction to make up for the fact that one extra day every four years is slightly too much correction (0.25>0.24219). This scheme results in the vernal equinox gradually shifting its date between March 19 and 21, being shifted once every leap year, and then being abruptly shifted in non-leap centuries . In the Gregorian calendar, 97 years out of every 400 are leap years, giving the total number of days in 400 years as 400.365+100-3=146,097 The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC. However, around 10 BC, it was found that the priests in charge of computing the calendar had been adding leap years every three years instead of the four decreed by Caesar (Vardi 1991, p. 239). As a result of this error, no more leap years were added until 8 AD. Leap years were therefore 45 BC, 42 BC, 39 BC, 36 BC, 33 BC, 30 BC, 27 BC, 24 BC, 21 BC, 18 BC, 15 BC, 12 BC, 9 BC, 8 AD, 12 AD, and every fourth year thereafter (Tøndering), until the Gregorian calendar was introduced (resulting in skipping three out of every four centuries). The UNIX command cal incorrectly lists 4 AD as a leap year (Vardi 1991). But some times it passes in your sleep... www.ManuelCasillas.com

As a matter of fact more damage is done to Traditional copper based telephone wires by rodents than any other factor ( age, breaks due to heating and cooling, weather related events((floods, icing ect.))) Now they are pressurizing the control rooms (or hutches). To enter the tech. has to enter a code on a key pad and you can hear the pressure seal break. Then you wait for a few seconds so that oxygen can enter the room. Most people agree this is important. That is waiting for the oxygen to enter is important to most. Maybe not for that Borg guy... www.ManuelCasillas.com [This message was edited by manuelcasi on November 23, 2002 at 06:59 PM.]

Place moth balls around your micro and in traditional caches or around as well. It seems to keep most things at bay. On an other note UMC beat to the thread by one minute www.ManuelCasillas.com

The saved daylight is kept at many secret locations thru out the United States. It does earn interest that is how we end up with leap years. Its sort of like vacation time if you don't use it you will lose it. So we cash in some extra every four years. As far as how much interest it is something like..."Since the tropical year is 365.242190 days long, a leap year must be added roughly once every four years (four times the fractional day gives 4*.0242190=0.968760=1). There is no penalty for cashing it in but it must be done by an act of congress unless the condition is such that National Security is at steak then the President can release the time for as much as 180 days before having to report to congress. Many say that there is no stop clause here so the President may after the first 180 days and reporting to congress execute an other order for an other 180 days. So it may continue over and over again. This has never been tested and probably would require a Supreme Court Ruling if ever challenged. Unless you are the President I see no way for you to release extra time while Geocaching. Sorry. I hope this answered your question. www.ManuelCasillas.com

Benedryl Benedryl Benedryl It was mentioned above however this really helps to "push" the poison thru your body. It really helps with the pain, swelling and itching.. The faster you get it in you after the sting the greater the benefit. I always carry a few in my first aid Kit along with the sting relief tube mentioned above. www.ManuelCasillas.com

Congrats Jacksons it was a great game and an even better fourth Quarter. I was just going to say congrats but in the spirit of old fashion ribbing ... You have an other big game to win ???

What have we been doing for 32 years? Trying to figure out what an Ohio is... We have also been trying to get used to the funny sounding states... I do understand why you don't know how to spell TEXAS, after all you attended Ohio state or at least you are from there... So giving your limitations I will say it slow T E X A S ..... A derivative of Tejas. But you probably don't know what a derivative is, Ohio State and all... www.ManuelCasillas.com [This message was edited by manuelcasi on November 22, 2002 at 08:29 PM.]

Longhorn National Championships.. UT's three National Championship squads (1963, '69', '70).And we don't have a funny sounding state either HAHA! What is an ohio anyway??? www.ManuelCasillas.com

Before this thread gets deleted for having nothing to do with geocaching.... I used My Gps to confirm my previous statement. That TEXAS is Number one in every thing except for size where we are second.Or was that my eight-ball? In any event a Gps has been mentioned....GO LONGHORNS Beat.... any of those funny sounding states!!!! www.ManuelCasillas.com

Its bad enough we are number two... But that is the only thing that Texas is second at. Go Longhorns... www.ManuelCasillas.com

UMC Its been almost thirty minutes from your previous post to your last post on the topic. Still no mention of the article yet. Are you really THAT slow? Maybe its time for you to make a place holder for your wife? www.ManuelCasillas.com

Here is an other old backpacker with an old tried and true fix for that. Use Leather laces... It works better than pam (I have tried both). And if your not sure which to try next? Put Pam on your leather laces. www.ManuelCasillas.com

Mr. or Mrs. Agaric Sounds like America Bashing rather than a real concern about the geocaching web site. I want to thank our neighbors to the North for their support from your Neighbors to the south. I can not speak for every American but I can say more than a simple majority consider Canadians as goods folks and we (or at least I) ARE jealousy of your open spaces. But more to the point and more importantly I would consider any attack upon a Canadian Business to also be an attack on the Free enterprise system as well as an an attack on our mutual way of life and dare I say the U.S. of A. Bottom line here in the U.S.A. we value "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." So if it brings you Happiness to pro-sue a Canadian web site about geocaching please feel at liberty to-do so. www.ManuelCasillas.com

This is the deal. I am a single guy and seem to have a problem getting Through a whole loaf of bread before it goes stale (I have seen half loafs while traveling but they do not stock them here). So I usually crumble the left over bread and spread around outside near my apartment. I know you are not supposed to feed wild life and never would where they would become dependent upon it. However I was thinking since when I go geocaching I am never in the same place would it be OK to drop a few crumbs here and there. I would drop of the trail so it would not be seen. I know the birds would enjoy it or perhaps some ants? Who knows it just seems Earth friendly to give the old bread to MAMA nature in stead of adding to a land fill? What ya think folks? www.ManuelCasillas.com

NiMh are the rechargeable type. Thanks for the info but I am asking about the Energizer Photo Lithium Battery's. The Blue and silver ones. www.ManuelCasillas.com

I pretty much said it in the Subject line. The question is... Do Lithium Battery's (for lake of a better word) Recharge in cold temperatures? I take my old alkaline Battery's and put them in the freezer for a few days and I am able to get a little more life out of them. Will this work with the lithium types? www.ManuelCasillas.com
