As you may know, most of the mages (if not all) love to burn things... Well, it seems that a farmer thought that he was Sultar's reincarnation and lighted a little fire. Undisclosed Sources told me that it COULD have been started by Torg Snowflake, or maybe Surak, but nobody really knows. Anyway, the REAL problem isn't the fire, but the incredibly HUGE amount of smoke we have on Buenos Aires now. I mean... It's all hazy, air smells like my computer (like a sheet of paper on fire) and there's more than 20 ppm CO2 (the maximum is 35ppm). My head hurts, my eyes are red and it seems that this is not going to end soon.
Here's an article about the smoke on the city:
www.throughthetube.com/2008/04/17/buenos-aires-envoloped-by-smoke-from-delta-fires[/url] ]Smoke clouded the Buenos Aires skyline this afternoon, the result of island grass fires in the Parana Delta. Strong winds are driving the smoke down river, creating severe visibility problems on the highways and enveloping the city in an acrid odor. The fires are located 30 minutes north of Buenos Aires and provincial governments are proving unable to extinguish them.

Buenos Aires obscured by smoke from the delta fires.
The fires are consuming grasslands in the Parana Delta, a complex network of islands, rivers and mainland, 30 minutes north of Buenos Aires. The fires are currently not accessible by overland vehicles, leaving the government with few options in extinguishing them. Firefighters are trying to dampen the flames through the use of water delivering helicopters, however that is proving ineffective as the fires rage on into the second week.
The provincial governments are working in tandem to prevent the fires from moving upriver and into the farming pastures of Entre Rios.
The Interior Ministry closed over 200km of highways today as a safety precaution. With visibility described as "virtually zero," the notoriously dangerous Ruta 9 became impassable. Already this week numerous accidents on Ruta 9 have left 4 dead and more than 20 injured.
Two men suspected of starting the fires have been detained by police, although neither has been charged with a crime. The authorities are still searching for the cause of the fires.
Well... If you don't believe me, here are some photos...
This one shows the obelisk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk_of_Buenos_Aires), a large phallic symbol built by the Egypt forerunners (well, not really, but's a nice story).

You SHOULD see the obelisk on the next picture, but the smoke is so dense that you simply can't. It's a few blocks away.

Please, take into account that I took the photos from the bus with a cellphone, so don't expect much quality.

This is a square near the Luna Park:

This is the Mail Post Palace (wonder why they call it that way? You should see it from inside). It's in front of the ITBA university.

This was shot from the Mail Post Palace Square. Look at the buildings...
Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of the ugly Casa Rosada (pink house, and yeah, it IS pink...) or the luxurious Stock Market.

Poor? The problem's not related to money, but to climate. Hot air and south winds usually dissipate the smoke, but it's cold and the wind's blowing north this week.
I'm enjoying this... Some songs, like Wildfire (sonata arctica) and Sorrow (pink floyd) fit perfectly with the story xD

You asked me "not 2", which can be interpreted as: "not * 2". That's "not + not", and remember that two negatives make a positive ^^

lim x--> + or - infinity f(x)
assume that a funtion converges,
that means the limit of the function as it approaches infinity exists.....
but lets say,
as x approaches infintity from the left, its gonna be the same,
what about from the right? the function doesnt even exist beyond infinity...!??!?
so, it doesnt agree and no limit exist as x approaches infinity? (or - infinity)
???????
im confused.
if it exists, what about function like 1/sqr(1-x^2) or some function whos domain is limited to a certain real number....
look, whats the lim of x--> 1 [1/sqr(1-x^2)], infinity?
but there is no graph on the right? the limit approaching from the right is undefined, does the limit exist or not???
