ok, let me do some eduction here. GMT (greenwich mean time) is the standard world time. So every time you hear someone say "00:00 GMT" you know it's midnight in London, UK (not to be confused with London, Ontario, and believe me, if you had been THERE - I was - you wouldn't !!!) CET (central european time) is the main european timezone. Most of Europe live in that zone (Portugal, UK, and some eastern european countries are the exception). It's GMT + 1, so when it's midnight in London (UK, you know by now) it's already 1am in the morning in VIENNA, OSIJEK and BRUXELLES. EST (eastern standard time) is the timezone for the US east coast (that's where New York, Philly and even Miami live). About 65% of SSBA GMs are from there too. It's GMT - 5, so when it's midnight in London (...) you prepare for dinner in "EST land", as it is 7pm EST. I won't even go into central and midwest timzones, and every child knows that PST (pacific standard time) which is used all the way from Baja California to Vancouver Island (hey, that's the whale trail !) is GMT -8. So when it's midnight in London . you just leave work at 4pm in LA and head to the beach like everyone else. So if bods now says 10pm let's do some calculation ... achczegzesdcdcsjhfruceifrekflrkfjlrefjkrelkfjrekfljref ... done. 10pm BODS TIME equals 4am IVAN TIME.and now i earned some beverage ...  |

Some 5 hours from now? that's easy: a.m. means After Midnight while p.m. means Past Mid.... now wait a moment, I have no idea. anyway, AM is before noon and PM is after noon. I just never completely understood why it can be 12:30am then. According to THIS page it actually can't be (but i know it still is): http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm |

a.m. means After Midnight while
p.m. means Past Mid....
Yeah, i knew that before. But even then, sometimes things weren't logical so i wasn't sure how accurate that is. I have no idea anymore. Why can't we all use the simple 0-24 clock, and just +/- hours?  |

How come you decided to rebuild now considering you don't have your pick this season?
I know Dirk's value will probably be even lower next year but at least you should have kept him until the trade deadline, no?
im happy that i do have his, my worst wishes for your record this season ....and well i guess Blazers are ready for the title hahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahaahhahaha |

Why can't we all use the simple 0-24 clock, and just +/- hours? True. And we yould all use centimeters, km/h, liters and the EURO curreny. I mean who needs inches, mph, gallons and the dollar. And Beatrix from netherlands would be our Majesty, the Queen. And Bush would have to govern together with germany's Merkel. Man, why didn't they think of that earlier ? |

On a 24 hour clock...
0:00-12:00 = AM (ante meridiem: (latin) before middle day).
12:01-23.59 = PM (post meridiem: (latin) after middle day)
Tom, 12:30 AM is the same as 00:30 on 24 hour system (military time in US lexicon)

But you see the illogicality here. AM and PM are seperated into 12 hour blocks, yet each one runs from 01:00 to 12:59. Why? If this information is true ( http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm) AM and PM should run from 00:01 to 12:00 |

If this information is true ( http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm) AM and PM should run from 00:01 to 12:00[/quote] The confusion actually lies in whether 12:00 midnight is AM or PM. Same with 12:00 noon. Everyone knows that 11:59:59 AM is 1 second before noon and that 12:00:01 PM is 1 second after noon. But noon has never been defined as either AM or PM. So there is 11 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds in each AM or PM period. |

I know Dirk's value will probably be even lower next year but at least you should have kept him until the trade deadline, no?
Actually, Kirk's leaving caused havoc with my original plan... With Hinrich, Deng, and Ruffin, I felt that I still ahd a playoff team. heck, devin Hinkle played so well in the playoffs, I though I could easily make the playoffs, with whoeevr I received in replacement for Dirk. But, when Hinrich left, I was screwed. And, to be honest, Hinrich had alwasy been the key to the Warriors... It was his play that won or lost playoff games. So, I decided to start over... probably should have tried to get my pick back first, but, oh well... |

What are you trying to say...?  London is quite close to me, and before this year (when I went to a different city for school), London was always the choice for a day of shopping. It's a nice city. |
