Hopefully there are some links in there that help someone understand what is going on in our systems. i know it is a bit haphazard, but that is how my brain works sometimes. some of the links are pretty straightforward, others are pretty intense. take them for what they are. i posted them here so that anybody can create their own opinions on the data instead of taking someone else's interpretation.

Happy Reading.

G~

P.S. i will update links on occasion in their proper category.

WOW Geoff thanks for the info,...and I thought I had nothing to do today
