The Fibonacci sequence

0  1  1  2  3  5  8  13  21  34  55  89  144  233

This is an exemple of a recusive sequence,obeying the simple rule that to calculate the next term one simply sums the proceeding two:

0+1=1+1=2+1=3+2=5+3=8+5=13+8=21+13=34........

This sequence is found everywhere:

Many plants produce new petals in quantities that are based on the Fibonacci numbers.

In music:

13 notes make the octave of 8 notes in a scale,of which the 1st,3rd,and 5th notes create the basic foundation of all chords,and the whole tone is 2 steps from the root note

But it gets better:

Lets look at the ratios when you take a Fibonacci number and divide it by the prvious number:

1/1=1;  2/1=2;  3/2=1,5;   5/3=1.66;   8/5=1.625;   13/8=1,615384614;   21/13=1.1619047619;   34/21=1,617647059

You will see that te ratios converge towards 1,6180339887 otherwise known as Phi or

The golden ratio

Not only is the golden ratio everywherre it is also associated with how we perceive beauty:

The features of Jessica's simpson face are proportionatly placed according to the golden ratio.

This mask of the human face is based on the Golden Ratio. The proportions of the length of the nose, the position of the eyes and the length of the chin, all conform to some aspect of the golden ratio

When placed over the photo of Jessica Simpson, we see there is a good fit (that is, the proportions of her face fit the geometrically "nice" proportions of the mask, based on the Golden Ratio).

In the solar system

The average of the mean orbital distance of each succesive planet expressed in relation to the one before it is approximates phi

In music and acoustics

Fibonacci and phi are used in the design of violins and even in the design of high quality speaker wire

It is believed the Greeks used Golden Section to achieve the wonderful sound and "ideal acoustics" that Golden Proportion rooms have.  Many cathedrals also use the Golden Section, in part, for the same reason. The Golden Section not only minimizes acoustic resonance, it also imparts a very musical quality to the remaining sound.

Phi and Fibonacci numbers are used in technical analysis of stock charts,but I'll spare you that one. 

Our 5 year old performed in her first ballet recital.

All the mommys and daddys went all mushy watching their little ones,we were no exeption.

The theme was Alice in wonderland,and it was pretty good,with lots of humor.Twiddledee and twiddledum did a hip hop pas de deux,the whole audience loved that one and the older students were pretty impressive.

I am woman.I am invincible.I am pooped!

Women have always been powerful.But never in history did they have to work so dam hard to remind themselves of this.

Women have always worked,they raised their kids,administered the household,nourished their husbands and their offsprings.They have been very powerful as wives mothers and yes even as mistresses.

Then feminism came along.Motherhood was debased and so in great part was womanhood.Our work as wives ,mothers,lovers and the power we derived from our womahood was rendered inadequate,judged as trivial,we now had to do all this AND work outside of the household.Feminism has enslaved us.

Yes I can smell my flesh burning for my heretic utterences,but what the heck I'm on a roll.

I have had access to a good education, I have political opinions which I can translate into a vote,I have a fascinating job.I am grateful to feminism.I'm also grateful to my husband,he's the one that made all the money while I celebrated my role as a mother.

Now I work.This evning I was playing hide ans Seek.My two year old and I were hidding in the closet and my 5 year old was seeking,,,and I was thinking:The bonds have stabilized,well they were oversold,wonder what the reaction to the PPI is going to be,agricultural chemicals are doing well,am I chasing if I try to get in those now,gold's taken a drubbing,could there be a tradable bounce in that one,got to check the dollar chart....".I found you "shouts my happy 5 year old. Well thank god for that,because I loose myself  often these days.Work,motherhood,husband.....
