I watched Gloria's confession on the 'Hello Garci' issue and she looks pathetic! Her image as the leader of the country was greatly tarnished. I lost my respect for her. Furthermore, she just added more variables to the current complex issue that made it more complicated. She is now on the verge of being impeached, (she and all under her), and no one is competent enough to replace her (with all due respect to VP Noli de Castro). Her move created more questions than answers. Although the 'Hello Garci' tape does not explicitly and directly suggest that she cheated but her actions (and reactions) to the issue is questionable. I suggest she fires her presidential adviser. Looking at the current situaltion, I believe an honorable exit would be a better alternative. People are very confused right now... a breach of trust has been committed. Oh well, God help us!

All applause to the best team of the NBA 2005 season! Duncan was efficient as ever and Ginobili was a surprise. I didnt realize Ginobili was that good! He actually got my vote as the Finals MVP, but Duncan was undeniably the team's superstar. The Spurs defeated Steve Nash and the Suns... so i guess they do deserve the NBA trophy! hehehe!

Next season, I'm going for the Phoenix Suns in the West and Philladelphia 76ers in the East.

The temperature of heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is the Bible, Isaiah 30:26 reads, "Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days." Thus, heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as the earth does from the sun, and in addition seven times seven (forty nine) times as much as the earth does from the sun, or fifty times in all. The light we receive from the moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the sun, so we can ignore that. With these data we can compute the temperature of heaven: The radiation falling on heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation. In other words, heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation

where E is the absolute temperature of the earth, 300°K (273+27). This gives H the absolute temperature of heaven, as 798°K (525°C).

The exact temperature of hell cannot be computed but it must be less than 444.6°C, the temperature at which brimstone or sulfur changes from a liquid to a gas. Revelations 21:8: "But the fearful and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone [sulfur] means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, which is 444.6°C. (Above that point, it would be a vapor, not a lake.)

We have then, temperature of heaven, 525°C. Temperature of hell, less than 445°C. Therefore heaven is hotter than hell.
