Good going you guys very good you pass.

BOYLE’S LAW:

The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure, that if the pressure was increased, the volume must decrease proportionately and vice versa. This is if the temperature remains constant.

Dalton’s Law:

The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of each of the different gases making up the mixture - each gas acting as if it alone were present and occupied the total volume.

In essence each gas within a gas mixture acts independently of the others.

HENRY’S LAW:

The amount of gas that will dissolve into a liquid at any given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas.

Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect gas solubility in liquids.

CHARLES’ LAW:

If the temperature of a gas rises and volume stays constant the pressure will increase. If temperature rises and pressure stays constant, volume increases.

Sadly we now just teach the principles, old day we had to really know these puppies.

Congratulations Grammie Leslie.

Being a grandparent is so much fun.

 

[papa]

Congratulations Leslie.

Grandchildren are God's gift to you for not killing your own They are special. Mike

Wow. Came over to check the thread. What a wonderful combination.....pole dancing and science class.

Celeste.....you can still do the pole dance on the 5 night cruise. It could be on deck 9, at the adult pool. Would be a great warm up for the Buffett tribute night.

Scott, I think you missed your calling. You should have been a High School science teacher. Ah, you would be a good one. Molding young minds and all.

Peter, good luck on the new job. Just don't be doing too many hours in a week. Don't want to see wrinkles in that pretty face.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

[BobandLee]

Mike, no big deal here this weekend.
But next one should be wonderful. Weather will finally be normal.
Three days off from work. I think the grill will get a workout.
Sauages and Mickeyburgers I think. Maybe a little corn on the cob.

What do ya think?

 

[papa]

Sounds great Bob. Maybe a big bowl or pot of baked beans and homemade potato salad. Top it off with some cherry pie with ice cream Mike

I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers, it has meant a lot to me. Thank you!!!

[Scott H]

Long week and I even took today off 16 hours Wednesday and 17 hours yesterday, and there is no end in sight. I need a vacation. Oh well 2 years 10 months. LO


In Denver right now waiting for our flights to SLC then SNA and then DL….. Yeah…. Dreading the crowds at DL. So I am setting my what we can do expectations low. Will be great to see some fellow cruisers.

 

[winotracy]

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you! Thank you for your offers of prayers, pixie dust and support. Thank you for your virtual greetings, mail greetings and in person visits. Thank you for your phone calls to let me know you care. And thank you for your condolences by discussion forum, email, phone or by mail. It has meant so much to me!

You can never have too many friends and I have been blessed with so many of you!

Today my mom would have been 66 years old. Today also would have marked 45 years that she and my dad were married. They are together today. My mom was an amazing woman. I always knew it, but what really meant so much to me was when her friends would tell me how proud she was of me and my sister and when she would say great things about us to Debbie and I. I would simply reply back "How do you think we got this way?".

Tonight we are getting together with family (some of whom I am planning to surprise at Christmas with a trip on this cruise) to celebrate. Mom would have wanted it this way. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!!

AT DL:

Up good and early did a one mile speed training and then a 5K at a 11 min pace. I am ready bring it on …. Then walked a couple of miles with Lynn.

There is Free Internet at the DL hotel How KEWL, are ya listening WDW???????

Looking forward to seeing old friends and new one alike. Later kids I gotta get some coffee and hit the parks early……

 

[Scott H]

Kids It is Africa Hot here at DL, spent ost of yesterday with Kay, Susie, and Linda’s Crew . We were really surprised that the crowds seemed less than we expected. Maybe the heat has kept folks away.

We had dinere with Kelly, Ann, Karen etc….It is great to see past cruisers.

I really liked the fireworks here at DL.

We are hoping that the mornings stay cool.

Today will be a rest day.


Wish I had signed up for the 5k, the course loks really Kewl. Next year….

Mike and Kathy - Happy 35th Anniversary!

AKA Papa



WOW

 

[Scott H]

Great Job Kathy and Mike, congrats KEWL!!!!

 

[papa]

Thanks guys.

Kathy slept for most of our anniversary as she is in the middle of a four night run of 12 hour shifts. I baby sat the youngest grand daughter that is 9 months old. So we will probably celebrate once we are onboard the Magic on the 22nd. Mike
