Well, if Rich did it, I guess I can do it

Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.


Figures 4-20a and 4-20b show a series of relaxation data obtained by successive load relaxation and reloading relaxation runs in whiich the specimen was strained by about 7% over a period of five days [Lee, 1993].  The sequence of experiments is: 1st load relaxation; reloading relaxation (#1); reloading relaxation (#2); and 2nd load relaxation.  For the sake of clarity, the first relaxation data and two sets of reloading data are shown in 4-20a, while the second load relaxation run are included in 4-20b.  An interesting feature of the data is that, apart from the initial transients, the first and second sets of reloading-relaxation curves fall at higher levels of stress than the initial load relaxation curve.

The Mechanics of Solder Alloy Interconnects, Frear, Morgan, Burchett, and Lau


(In the interest of full disclosure, this was the second book I opened, since the first one had a large picture on page 123, and only four lines of text.  It was also a solder book.  I guess I'm lucky I didn't pull down the CRC.)

Oh, sure, if I do it (in response to seeing your hubby's post), it doesn't count. I see how you are.

Even worse, I was able to hold out past Rick and Ang and you and Katy before crumbling to Rich. But, to be fair, I have been moving into a new office, so there were no books out for me to grab...

I haven't felt this special since I was in a Midland, MI theater review.

At least she liked me!

Y'know, I still have that review. The group I worked with at the time framed it and gave it to me. I don't think they realized what a bad review it was. Heh.

So what if George, Janet, Theatre Guild, MCFTA, and 70% of the cast got ripped mercilessly? She liked us!

Wasn't it something like... "A porcelain doll face with a painted on smile. Her half-witted charm never showed through."?

It was actually the critical mass of Rick and you that made me do it. So you do have influence.
