Why do they pretend that "pressure" isn't painful?

In an effort to keep my pictures current, I have decided that there is not much more in the way of good photographic advice that I can give. In order to get good pictures, you have to have good pictures taken, be relaxed, wear comfortable clothes and have fun. That being said, I am puzzled by health care professionals that tell you to expect a little "pressure" when what they really mean is they are about to purposely do something that will cause you pain. Today, I replaced my temporary crown with a permanent one. Yeah, you can see where I am going with this already can't you? So when my dental professional (who does a very good job and who I like very much-consider that the fine print) forced a foreign object up to my gum line (my crown) and pressed with all of his might into the top of my head. It felt like he was using the sole of his combat boots to grind it into my head, but no (I looked) he was only applying "pressure". Look, pressure is what turns coal into diamonds so it is not a little thing. Looking back, the only other health care professional that ever reported pain as pressure was my OB/GYN. It went something like this... "you will feel a little pressure as the head is delivered." Really, sherlock? As a I pass an infant the size of a virginia ham through an opening the size of a small orange I may feel some "pressure". Interesting that I have never had a female health care professional describe pain as pressure, don't you think?

Enough Already

My FIL is still in the hospital. He is still critical in ICU. He just had a second surgery and is back on the ventilator. My MIL's voice on the phone tears out my heart. She is so tired...physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hubby goes back and forth spending every other night at the hospital. He spends his time with his dad's chart trying to figure out what would be best...consulting with other doctors...trying not to worry his mom too much. I can hear the worry in his voice. My little ones are asking when Papaw and Mamaw are coming home. There are all kinds of little messages on their answering machine. My teen is so worried. She got to go back and see him the other day. I feel helpless. I take all the phone calls here...updating all the worried family and friends. I carry on with tball games, TOPS, drama club practice, organizing our stuff for our new home...busy stuff. I can control the tears until they sneak upon me. Then all the trying in the world won't stop them.

I am ready for him to be back on the farm. I want to see him on the tractor mowing the hay. I am ready for him to say one of his random things that annoy me.

Please continue to pray.

Niners Club Cards In Season Finale; NFL Playoff Field Set

At San Francisco:

Alex Smith threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis in the third quarter as the San Francisco 49ers (6-10), in what was likely Jim Tomsula's one game as interim head coach, buried the visiting Arizona Cardinals (5-11) 38-7 in the season finale for both teams on Sunday.

The field for the playoffs is now set.

The top two seeds will have next weekend off and will host divisional playoff games the weekend of January 15 and 16.

1. Atlanta Falcons (13-3)
2. Chicago Bears (11-5)

New Orleans (11-5) travels to Seattle (7-9, first team to reach the playoffs with a losing record in a non-strike season) for a Saturday opening round game, starting at 1:30 PM.

Green Bay (10-6) will be at Philadelphia (10-6) for a Sunday contest that starts at 1:30 PM

The top two seeds will start seeing playoff action at home in the divisional playoffs on January 15 and 16.

1. New England Patriots (14-2)
2. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)

On Saturday night, Indianapolis (10-6) will play host to the New York Jets (11-5) in an AFC opening-round contest starting at 5:00 PM.

Sunday will see Baltimore (12-4) visit Kansas City (10-6) starting at 10:00 AM.

John Dos Passos’s 1925 novel Manhattan Transfer is perhaps best
remembered nowadays as a trial run for this same author's
U.S.A. Trilogy,
a massive 1,200-page work that would take up most of Dos Passos’s
attention over the next decade.  Most of the quirky ingredients
that characterize
Manhattan Transfer—the fragmented narratives, the
bits of newspaper stories and song lyrics inserted into the text, the
hedonistic and alienated characters, the occasional adoption of stream-
of-consciousness techniques—reappear on a more ambitious scale in
the later work.

Anatomy of an Author's Tic: Dos Passos's Reflected Light

Yet Manhattan Transfer was much more than a blueprint for U.S.A.  It
also established a new style of slice-and-dice fiction that continues to
flourish in the current day. To a greater or lesser
extent, a host of later important novels adopt a
similar structure.  We see it in works as diverse
as Don DeLillo's
Underworld, Doris Lessing's
The Golden Notebook, George Perec's Life A
User’s Manual
, John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar
and Fritz Leiber's The Wanderer.  Each of these
offers a literary collage, a holistic picture con-
structed from the juxtaposition of isolated pieces
of narrative. Upon its publication, Sinclair Lewis
seemed to anticipate this development, praising
Manhattan Transfer as "a novel of the very first
importance" and predicting that it could represent
"the foundation of a whole new school of novel-

In preparing to write
Manhattan Transfer, Dos Passos jotted down an
odd assortment of notes on scraps of paper: ideas for scenes, bits of
dialogue, facts, slogans, a textual collage waiting to be assembled into
something larger.  The finished novel retains this fragmented quality, an
Ikea of fiction where the reader needs to take charge of the final
assembly. The effect could also be described as cinematic, and just
as film allowed rapid shifts from scene to scene that made the
dramatic theater of the 19th century seem static by comparison, Dos
Passos offered a literary equivalent, a book in which characters and
settings flash by in a blur, and different stories are juxtaposed in rapid

But another influence is evident in this book, one far older than the
movie technology that was emerging as a major entertainment industry
during the period this book was written.  In his spare time, when not
working on his manuscript, Dos Passos read the Bible, a work that both
delighted and infuriated him.  "This is not a book to put in the hands of
Christians," he concluded.  But, in a strange sort of way, his own work-
in-progress began to take on a Biblical tone.  Characters come and go,
with their worries great and small, but a all-powerful deity presides over
their travails—namely Manhattan itself, poised to bless the few, curse
the many, and receive the worship and blasphemy of its chosen people.

Dos Passos makes many unconventional choices in crafting this novel.
He undermines the heroic, downplays the dramatic, and tempers the
tragic with absurd or fatalistic elements.  If other books portray bold
protagonists who seize their own destiny,
Manhattan Transfer offers up
characters whose fates seem random or perverse.  One of the most
successful inhabitants of Dos Passos's Manhattan is Congo Jake who
starts out as a peglegged sailor and ends up as a wealthy New Yorker
with a new name, Armand Duval, an attractive wife and more money
than he knows what to do with.  On the other extreme, we encounter
Joe Harland, the Wizard of Wall Street, who makes a killing in the stock
market and loses it all, but attributes his change of luck to the loss of a
crocheted blue silk necktie that his mother had given him when he was a
youngster.  (Shades of Rosebud!) Harland’s conviction is ridiculous, but
very much in keeping with the ethos of
Manhattan Transfer, in which  the
wheel of fortune is more like a runaway rollercoaster, taking people on a
wild ride beyond their ability to control or forecast.

Dos Passos is equally iconoclastic in his approach to the moments of
intense action in this novel.  These invariably happen out of sight or at
a distance, presented with a deliberate attempt to suppress any sense
of suspense or excitement.  The most heated encounter in
finds Congo and several other characters involved in a gun
battle between bootleggers and a rival gang that wants to hijack their
illegal shipment of champagne.  Yet Dos Passos decides to describe
the entire scene from the perspective of a bystander who is hiding in a
nearby building, and only catches a few glimpses of the action from a
window.   In another subplot, a down-and-out couple decide to stage a
series of holdups, and though Dos Passos describes the before and
after of their crime spree, he presents only indirect accounts of the actual
incidents.  The effect is peculiar and undermines the intensity of the story
—imagine if Tarantino had edited
Pulp Fiction, removing scenes of
conflicts, hold-ups, or violence, yet still wanted to convey the same
tension and ambiance, and you will have some idea of the impact here
—but very much in keeping with the approach of this novel. When
another one of his 'lost generation' characters commits suicide, and
sets his apartment on fire in the process, Dos Passos cuts away from
the action at the crucial moment, and continues the narrative from afar.
Again and again, Dos Passos downplays precisely those tumultuous
incidents that most other storytellers would bring to the forefront. This
reticence—an almost ascetic renunciation of high drama---would
remain our author's
modus operandi.   A few years later he would write
a war novel,
1919—the second volume of the U.S.A. Trilogy set in
Europe during World War I—and not include a single firsthand account
of combat.   In the world of John Dos Passos, exciting and violent things
are constantly happening, but always in the background.

But even as we admire
Manhattan Transfer for its ambition, readers can
hardly overlook the flaws in its execution.   Dos Passos shifts his scenes
from character to character faster than he can invent worthy plots to keep
them busy.  An interlude featuring an aimless character without direction
may reinforce the 'lost generation' ambiance of the book, but after fifty or
a hundred of these passages, the device loses it impact, and ennui sets
in.  In the closing pages of this book, when one of the characters gripes
"why don’t you do something instead of talk," the reader is inclined to
nod in impatient agreement.  Dos Passos also overuses certain
descriptive techniques.
He seems incapable of writing about a setting
without referring to the reflections of light—this verbal tic shows up every
few pages in his novel.  Another example: When people walk down the
street in
Manhattan Transfer, our author again and again describes grit
blowing against their faces.  Was New York’s air quality really so much
worse back in 1925?  Even if that were the case, the repetition here is
awkward. Every so often, Dos Passos breaks out of these tired
repetitions and delivers a burst of prose that shows his capability as
an author.  But these are few and far between.  I suspect that most
readers, having finished this novel, will remember the innovative
structure, but not any turn of phrase or striking incident.  The characters
themselves seem determined to lead as forgettable lives as possible.

In all fairness, the structural innovation here is substantial, and will be
sufficient to keep this book in print, and impart some luster to its
author's posthumous reputation.  And given the increasing popularity of
fragmented narratives on the current literary scene,
Manhattan Transfer
has certainly lived up to Sinclair Lewis’s bold prophecy that it would
initiate a "whole new school of novel-writing." That said, it is a shame
that John Dos Passos didn't make a better case for this innovative
structure as a vehicle for delivering an equally compelling story.

Three Existential  Horror Novels

Essays by Ted Gioia
For the narrator of Nausea, Antoine Roquentin, a
failed historian, the horror is everywhere—so much
so that everything surrounding him can produce a
queasy sense of nausea.  Physical objects leave
him disgusted. “Every existing thing is born without
reason,” he laments, “prolongs itself out of weakness
and dies by chance.”...

To read more, click here
The essence of this horror is not the disgusting
nature of the cockroach, but rather our narrator’s
realization that she shares an affinity with the
creature. “I’d looked at the living roach and was
discovering inside it the identity of my deepest life.”
The realization cuts even deeper—G.H. discovers
her basic oneness with the entire universe. ....

To read more, click here
It's easy to laugh at Edvard Brandes, the Danish
critic, who jumped up in the midst of reading
Hunger and “ran like crazy to the post office” to
mail Hamsun ten kroner—he was certain, from
reading the book, that its author must be starving.
But you will have a similar reaction....

Driving restrictions in Paris to curb air pollution

Air pollution in Paris and its surrounding areas has reached an unusually high level this weekend and is expected to worsen. The air quality is so bad that people can hardly see the Eiffel Tower from a distance.

In an attempt to curb air pollution in Paris, the French government has introduced a law by which drivers would have to alternate the days they could use their vehicles based on license plate numbers. Starting from Monday at  at 05:30 am, only drivers with number plates terminating in an uneven digit to take to the roads. Motorcycles are also affected by the ban.
Since Friday, public transport was made free of charge for three days in an attempt to encourage people to leave their cars at home. This measure will continue on Monday until the end of the driving restrictions.

The recent high concentration of particulate matter in the Parisian air was blamed on the near absence of wind in the region and shortage of rain.
Following a peak in air pollution in December 2013, the Paris police prefecture lowered the speed limit for automobiles to 20 km/h in some areas and banned trucks weighing more than 3.5 tonnes from entering the city.

This will be the second time since 1997 that such a restriction has been enforced. The French government made the decision after air pollution exceeded safe levels for five days running in Paris and surrounding areas.

Saturday, February 21, 2009

Today the QB was trying to get both boys in the car to go to the Museum and she set the Monkey in his car seat and ran back into the house to get something (I was at school while all this happened). While she was gone inside Mr. Baseball buckled his little brother in and closed his door,opened the driver's side door for Mom, walked around the car, climbed into his own seat, buckled himself in, closed his own door, and waited smiling for the QB to come outside.

Later that day...

Mr. Baseball was asked to pick up a living-room-floor-full of toys by himself because he'd failed to pick them up earlier and as the QB and I left the room the monkey said "I help brother" and began picking up a pile of Lincoln logs. Mr. Baseball, who was not very happy about having to clean up all the toys was, nonetheless, apparently not interested in having any help from his do-gooder little brother.

"I'm supposed to clean it up by myself," said Mr. Baseball, irritated. And then, for emphasis, added "You idiot!"

I overheard him from the other room and couldn't believe my ears. Its funny what goes through my mind when Mr. Baseball says something like this: 'Why would he talk to his brother that way? Does he talk to people at school that way? I hope he doesn't talk to anyone anywhere that way. I have to make sure he doesn't ever talk to anyone anywhere that way?'

I came back in the room and gently asked him to join me on the stairs for a moment. We have been having lots of talks lately in the quiet of our stairwell and they've been going fairly well. The question is always this: How do I convey my disapproval in a loving way so that he understands not merely that I am disappointed, but why what he said/did was hurtful to his brother.

The thing is, Mr. Baseball is a good kid, a nice, kiss you on the cheek and hug your leg kind of kid whose biggest desire in the world is to playreadwrestledrawtalkbuildafort with you. He knows that words like that are hurtful, and he knows he shouldn't say them. It's difficult to know how much correction he needs. Sometimes I think we overshoot ("No TV for a week") and sometimes I think we're too lenient ("Next time please don't throw a stick at that man's run along and play"). I don't want to merely give him a guilt trip, but rather I want to show him the results of his words and actions so that he can make decisions based on that knowledge.

What's really going on here at the most basic level is a recognition that Mr. Baseball struggles with a lot of the same problems that I do. He has the same short temper and easily bruised personality that resists authority and wants recognition for the good things he is doing without having to hear about the mistakes he occasionally makes. And also a recognition that when he calls his little brother and idiot, I fear that somehow he picked up the mind set (if not the word) from me, or when he throws a tantrum, or sneaks a candy or tells a lie or lashes out in some way that he is merely doing a five-year-old's impersonation of me at my worst.

One thing this recognition is doing for me at least is helping me notice how I tend to react to his negative behavior so that I can step back a little and allow a little objective distance between us when things get rough. It's also forcing me to acknowledge that in so many ways we are similar, and in so many ways we are different and that that difference is okay. It's worked well the past few weeks. I guess we'll just have to see what happens in the future.

Pruning of Joe and Gino Perata harvestingthe vines is severe. One vine concentrating its energy on a few clusters of grapes produces better quality than a vine struggling to ripen many clusters. A harvest of two tons per acre is the goal. The vines are cane-pruned to distribute the fruit evenly along the trellis wire. Leaves are pulled so clusters have the best exposure to the sun. The Zinfandel is head-pruned for low tonnage and optimum sun exposure.

The vines are hand-harvested in small lots as each area of the vineyard reaches its peak of flavor and balance of sugar and acid. We don't just schedule a crew and harvest all at once. The harvest crew realizes that tonnage, grape clusters and berries are small. It takes a lot more work to harvest than a high tonnage vineyard.

From the one-half ton bin, the grapes are destemmed and placed in 1 1/2 ton open top fermenters for primary fermentation. The cap formed during this stage is punched down by hand four times per day for greatest skin contact. We extract color and flavor from the skin by this process.
Joe Perata filling barrels
After eight to up to fourteen days, the pressing begins. This is done in a stainless steel bladder press, with pressure only up to 1 1/2 bar. Higher pressures cause harsher, bitter wines and we don't/won't make a second label wine. The wine is pumped to oak barrels to finish fermentation. The pomace is spread in the vineyard, acting as a fertilizer, to complete Nature's cycle.

Over the course of years, both the vines and our winemaking techniques have matured. Gino Perata pressing grapesExperience has been a good teacher. Every vintage has its challenges and rewards. After twelve years of commercial crushes, we have blended tradition and science, refining our cellar methods to suit the demands of our exceptional terroir.

The selection of which wine to which barrel, American or French, old or new, is determined by the brothers, with Gino acting as head winemaker. Each variety has its strengths and subtleties; each demands its perfect match. New French and American oak of the highest quality are purchased every year. The wine with the most depth demands the fullest oak flavors and produces the most complex finished product.

The barrels are racked to pull the new wine off the sediment and into a clean barrel, to start again the gentle falling of the sediment to the bottom of the barrel, leaving clear wine above. No filtering nor fining is done. The aim is to preserve all the fruity aromas the grapes have given. When the wine is bottled, though visually clear, it will still throw some minimal sediment (we use punted bottles). This is a small price to pay for the depth of flavor in the wine glass.

Most wines are given two years in the barrel, a year of bottle age. For example, the 1988 Cabernet Sauvignon was our first of that variety. It shows good fruit, silky tannins and further aging potential. The key is deep, balanced fruit, being careful in the winery and bottling with Joe Perata with the stainless tanksthe best cork.

An average of 100 barrels of wine are produced each year, yielding about 2300 cases of finished wine. To make the best wine we can, we have chosen to retain complete control over the entire process. We only use our own grapes, our own bottling line, we even label each bottle by hand.

We have produced "Bambino Grande," Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva, Chardonnay, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Zinfandel. Each is a reflection of the history of the variety, the Paso Robles viticultural region, and the family's passion for winemaking. Each reflects our goal to present a wine of depth, nuance, and most of all, character, To share with your family and friends: Salute!

NOAA’s Decades Old Worn Out Scarcity Story Challenged Again-This Time By Southern New England Lobster Industry

NOAA’s outdated and decades old, self-serving and worn out story line about doom and gloom fisheries status is disputed by the southern New England lobster industry.

The latest lobster stock assessment found lobsters in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank are doing well; but lobsters in southern New England are not. Most southern New England fishermen disagree with that assessment.

Is it Possible to Build a Space Elevator?

First of all, what is a space elevator? Well, as the name suggests, it’s an elevator-like structure that extends from the surface of the Earth up into space. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention…it doesn’t actually physically exist just yet. Clearly, it would be totally awesome to be able to take a cute, little elevator ride straight up into the heavens, but…easier said than done. – At this point that is.

Even though the idea has been around since the late 1800s, there are still many obstacles that make its practical realization nearly impossible. The first ideas started out as simple towers built so high so as to enter the geostationary Earth orbit (GEO). Once there, it would orbit Space Elevator Schematicthe Earth with an equal orbiting period, causing it to remain stationary relative to Earth.

The problem with this model is that it would be a compression structure, with the primary forces being compression. A tower can only go so high before it will buckle under its own weight. There is simply no material known to man that is both strong and light enough to withstand the compression forces the weight-force of a 35,000 kilometer-high tower (the approximate altitude of the geostationary orbit) will exert along its height.

The other option, and the one that is currently considered “viable”, is a model that utilizes tension as opposed to compression. The way this would (theoretically) work is by launching repeated (thousands actually) space shuttles loaded with materials into the geostationary orbit, from where they would begin lowering cable toward the Earth’s surface. By gradually connecting additional segments, the cable should eventually reach Earth, where it will be anchored.

So is it possible to build a space elevator? Well, I sure hope so…However, hope may not be enough at this point. The rest of the article covers various physics-related aspects of a space elevator as well as the limitations scientists and engineers face in making it a reality. Note that research on a space elevator is ongoing, and as such, certain aspects are subject to change as new technology emerges.

Physics of the Space Elevator

There are two primary forces at work concerning the statics of a space elevator – the force of gravity or centripetal force, and the Earth’s centrifugal force. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on an object, the strength of which varies depending on the object’s altitude. The further it is from the Earth’s surface – or its core, depending on how you look at it – the weaker the force of gravity. The force of gravity can be calculated by the following equation:

Gravity Gradient Equation

where gh is the gravitational acceleration at height h above sea level, re is the Earth’s mean radius (6,371 km), and go is the standard gravitational acceleration on the Earth’s surface (9.806 m/s2). Using this formula, the gravitational force at the geostationary orbit would be about 0.2 m/s2.

A centrifugal force is one that is directed away from the center of a given object, and is used in relation to spinning or rotating objects and the phenomenon of things seemingly flying outward from a spinning object. A ride in a merry-go-round is an example of a centrifugal force pulling you away from the axis of rotation.

But the fact of the matter – and here is where it gets a little tricky – is that this force only exists so long as the opposing centripetal force exists. It’s really no more than the “sensation” of being pulled outward from the center of the spinning mass.

In reality, if the centrifugal force overpowers the centripetal force, it will cause the object to fly tangent to the point on the orbital path that it occurred – not outward from the center of the spinning mass. A yo-yo being spun like a sling-shot is a good example that illustrates this principle. The yo-yo is kept in orbit by these 2 forces, the centripetal and centrifugal forces.

The string that keeps the yo-yo from flying away is continually pulling it toward the center of the spinning mass – your hand – as it spins. This force that tries to pull it in is the centripetal force, and the opposing force that keeps the string taut, is the centrifugal force. However, if you were to let the yo-yo go, releasing it into the air, in which direction would it fly? Yes, tangent to the orbital path!

If you were to take several photos in continuous shooting mode of the yo-yo “in action” within split-seconds of each other, you would no doubt witness this phenomenon first-hand. If you want the yo-yo to fly up vertically upon release, you’d have to release it when the string connecting the yo-yo to your hand forms a horizontal line, with the direction of angular motion being upward.

So, relating this to the space elevator, the force of gravity equals the centripetal force, the yo-yo string if you will. The centrifugal force would counter the force of gravity, keeping the cable taut in tension, and is what would prevent the whole structure from crashing down to Earth. In order for the centrifugal force to be strong enough however, the entire system’s center of mass would have to be above the geostationary orbit.

To achieve this feasibly, a large counterweight would have to be installed some 144,000 kilometers above Earth – almost half the distance to the moon. This counterweight would be slowly extended into space to match the gravitational pull (centripetal force) of the lowering cable to Earth as it is constructed. An alternative would be to simply extend the cable (instead of the counterweight) to the needed distance to achieve equilibrium.

The Coriolis Effect and How it Will Affect a Space Elevator

Imagine you and a friend on opposite sides of a carousel tossing a ball back and forth to each other. As it spins, the rotation will The Coriolis Force and Space Elevatorcause the ball being thrown to seemingly assume a slightly curved path. If the carousel spins clockwise viewed from above, the curve will be to the left from the thrower’s perspective, and to the right from the receiver’s.

The Coriolis effect only manifests itself in a rotating reference frame, or non-inertial frame of reference. A non-inertial frame of reference can be described as a point of observation where you, the observer, are experiencing continuous changes in velocity. A rotating object is just such a situation, where even though the rate of rotation may be constant, the direction of movement is continually changing.

Let’s say there was a tall tree that hung over the carousel in the above example, and you climbed up and observed 2 kids throwing the ball back and forth while spinning. From your vantage point up in the tree, now an inertial frame of reference in relation to the carousel, the ball will no longer seem to curve, but will fly straight. The difference lies simply in the observer’s frame of reference.

Well, we all know that the Earth rotates as it orbits the Sun, right? So doesn’t that mean we should see the Coriolis effect even if we’re not on a carousel? The answer is yes. However, because the Earth rotates at only 1 revolution per day, the effect is so small that it’s not detectable unless an object is in flight for a fairly long time.

But let’s say we succeed in building a space elevator…will the Coriolis effect have to be taken into consideration? Yes, it will! As a climber ascends up the cable vertically, it must accelerate not only in the vertical direction, but in the horizontal as well. Because the Earth is spinning and the cable is spinning with it, the ascending climber must also achieve the equivalent angular velocity as it climbs.

The good news is that even though the Coriolis effect will cause the climber to pull the cable slightly backward as it ascends, the centrifugal force will always bring it back to the vertical position due to it being the natural energy-favorable position. By the time a climber gets to geostationary orbit, it will have reached an orbital velocity of roughly 3 kilometers per second.

Here’s an animated video clip on the Coriolis effect and centrifugal force for those who are interested.

Practical Limitations

The primary snag in the development of a space elevator is the lack of a material that is both strong and light enough to support the enormous tensile load of the cable. Various calculations put the required tensile strength of the cable between 130 giga-pascals and 300 giga-pascals (Gpa). As a comparison, structural steel has a tensile strength of about 250 mega-pascals (Mpa) – about 1000 times weaker than required.

The closest known material to being a viable candidate is carbon nanotube. It has a measured tensile strength of 63 Gpa, but a theoretical tensile strength of 300 Gpa. However, at this point, carbon nanotube can only be produced in very small quantities – in the tens of centimeters. So to think of making a 100,000+ kilometer cable out of carbon nanotube is simply unrealistic at this point.

2 Responses to Is it Possible to Build a Space Elevator?

  1. John Chapman says:

    Thanks for this. Of course there are other problems to building a space elevator.
    The cable would be at risk from every single item of space junk orbiting the Earth. There are thousands of them and every single one, including all our satellites would at some time impact the cable.
    Thereâ€™s also the problem of locating the base station. It has to be on the equator and preferably at altitude. My own preference would be at Cayambe in Ecuadorâ€¦ but thatâ€™s on a volcano which is not certain to be extinct.

    • freehandyman says:

      Hi John, thanks for your thoughts.
      Yes, there are many risks at this point. I suppose having it at altitude helps in that it lessens the amount of cable needed, but at the same time, like you mentioned, finding an ideal location might be difficult. However, on the flip side, a few thousand meters in altitude would make a crucial difference only if the tensile strength of the cable is barely strong enough. Ideally, for a space elevator to be not only possible but safe as well, we need a material that exceeds the minimum tensile strength by much more than a few mega-pascals. — And in which case, a few kilometers in altitude won’t make all that significant a difference.

Iron(ic) Results

I failed with my New Years Resolutions for 2008. Although I would guess that a majority of weeks I ran 30 miles (give or take a mile or two), I never averaged 30 miles a week. I had a couple of weeks with essentially zero miles (e.g., the week Bee was born). So not even close to averaging 30 miles a week. And my time in the Cherry Blossom race this year was better than last year but not sub-70 minutes.

In weights, well, it was not a great year, in terms of building weight. I benched 215 clean today (without a lift-off!), but I have failed on every attempt at 225, and that means I am still a good 30 pounds short of my all-time max of 245 lbs.

Given that I started the year with 205, that means that I moved 10 pounds closer to the goal in 12 months. Not great. I think I need a more intensive training regime. I lift weights most weeks once, and probably a plurality of weeks twice. But I have lifted three times only a handful of weeks and probably can't expect to do so.

Not an epic fail for the year, but not a rousing success, either.

At 8:46 AM, Blogger fronesis said...

I think you are too quick to determine goal number 1 to be unmet. As we all learned in our statistics class, the ordinary language word 'average' can imply mean, median, or mode.

You didn't achieve 30 miles per week as your mean, but since you stated that you ran 30 miles or more in more than half the weaks of the year, then it's obvious that over 30 is your modal week, and your media week is also over 30.

So you averaged over 30!

At 11:37 AM, Blogger Number Three said...

I hadn't thought of it that way. My goal for next year will be a median week of 30.5 miles!

Actually, there's a funny story in here. Last year was the first year I was going to keep a detailed training log. I started January 1 (actually I think December 31) and was going strong until I misplaced the damned log! Yes, I know I should do it electronically. But I was enjoying doing it in longhand. Then I found it, like two months later, but the thrill was gone.

Next year, I'm going to do this right. Electronic. So at year's end, I will have the statistics. E.g., mean run distance, mean run time (medians too).

The big question is unit of analysis. I guess you keep the numbers . . . at the day level, and then aggregate to week?

At 1:36 PM, Blogger Wilson said...

Day of the Week
Starting Time
Ending Time

I think if you kept all that data there would be some interesting data which we might see.

College Basketball

Bloom is off for Florida, bullied at home by Loyola-Chicago

If you’re Florida, you must win that game.

If you’re an SEC contender, the flavor-of-the-month Final Four pick, the team that might snatch Kentucky’s league crown, a crew that nearly knocked off Duke two weeks ago, you beat Loyola-Chicago on your home floor.

If you’re No. 5 Florida in Gainesville, and Loyola-Chicago enters the game without starting point guard Ben Richardson, who suffered a broken hand last month, you win that game and let the reserves earn some clock in the final 10 minutes because you’ve secured a comfortable lead.

But that’s not what happened to a Florida team that embarrassed itself Wednesday with a 65-59 home loss to a Loyola squad that was picked to finish third in the Missouri Valley Conference. But that projection preceded Richardson’s injury.

Without him, the Ramblers are a middle-of-the-pack program in a mid-major league. A good mid-major league, but still a mid-major league.

Loyola (9-1) didn’t need Richardson to alter the perception of Florida basketball in early December, though.

Florida’s double-overtime tussle with Gonzaga at the PK80 tournament in Portland, Oregon, over Thanksgiving weekend is still the game of the season thus far.

In the title game, the Gators traded leads with top-ranked Duke in perhaps the runner-up game of the season.

But rival Florida State humbled Mike White’s squad Monday with an 83-66 victory.

Fine. It’s a rivalry game. Florida State is always athletic, long and aggressive. So perhaps Leonard Hamilton’s Seminoles deserved more hype before that matchup. But top-five teams like Florida shouldn’t be having too much trouble with unranked opponents at home.

Then it all got worse.

On Wednesday, Loyola waltzed into the O’Connell Center, slapped the Gators in the face and left with a quality road win that voided Florida’s convincing victory over Gonzaga in Portland.

Save the excuses. Yes, the Gators continue to await the return of big man John Egbunu.

And they entered Wednesday’s game shooting 43 percent from the 3-point line, a top-15 mark, but finished 2-for-19 from beyond the arc.

The same team that scored 108 points in regulation against Stanford on Nov. 23 couldn’t crack 60 on Wednesday against a Loyola program that surrendered 87 points in a 34-point loss at Boise State last month.

When the 3-pointers stop falling, good teams find a way. Because they’re not limited to one tool or scheme.

But when Florida (5-3) couldn’t make any shots from beyond the arc against an overmatched — on paper — Ramblers squad, the Gators didn’t search for an alternative.

They just accepted the loss on their home floor, and any criticism — all justified — that will follow.

Two weeks ago, Florida seemed capable of winning the SEC and reaching the final weekend of the NCAA tournament.

After Wednesday, however, we should table those ideas.

Until those bruises heal and the Gators decide — if they decide — to fight again.

Because Loyola bullied them on their home floor Wednesday night.

Guests and Faery Festival - 2

What a fabulous weekend. I have enjoyed myself immensly and the little man has been on cloud 9.
I am always a little nervous when first meeting people because there's always a chance that there won't be that friendship chemistry and I am useless at small talk. No need to worry, Sarie, Colin and Alice are absolutely lovely and many a hour was spent chatting, watchin the children play and of course attending the Faery Festival.

Rye took an instant liking for Colin and pestered him to death for attention. I did feel quite emotional watching Rye interact with Colin and the utter love and devotion Colin has for his daughter. Rye's dad is missing so much - and so is Rye too; thankfully we have in our lives many wonderful people who love and adore Rye.

The Faery Festival was rather fab too. Saturday was very busy, which made getting around difficult - even using the slings. The hall was very hot too. Belly Dancing workshop was brilliant, loved it - even if I did feel very ungainly and had to sit down toward the end because I was shattered. And yep I ache a bit today :) The faeries there were wonderful, some of the wings were incredible.

Rye loved the festival too; although this year was much more tiring with him. Last year he was in the sling mostly and while carrying him for such a long time was tiring - the constant vigilence of a very mobile toddler was exhausting, thank goodness local friends were with us as well as Colin and Sarie to help me keep tabs on him. I was astounded by the sheer energy this little man has. He collected himself a harem of little girls and spent an age running up and down with them, inciting them to chase him. It was lovely to see; although bless, he did get very very hot and sweaty, and for once, getting him to have a drink was a bit difficult because he was having so much fun.

Sunday was lovely too, a more leisurely start to the day so we all had a chance to recover from Saturday and then back to the festival for another look around and to watch a few more acts. The hall was much cooler because there weren't as many people, so looking around the stalls was a bit easier too. There was some lovely tut, I could have spent a fortune, had I had a fortune to spend lol. I satisfied myself with buying a few "magical" herbs.

I was very impressed with the way Rye played with Alice too, for the most part he was very gentle, sharing, sometimes without even being asked to; taking turns, it was lovely. He did sometimes get a bit jealous and try to take things off her, or shove her out of the way; but in the main he played beautifully and was gentle and kind. Oh, and Alice, she is utterly gorgeous, beautiful skin, blue eyes and red hair... and the festival and fresh air tired her out so much on the Saturday that she slept through, which Sarie was most appreciative of :)) She seemed to enjoy playing with Rye too; although sometimes he was a bit boisterous for her; but then he must have seemed quite big too.

Ohhh and I finally got to meet the twins :) I've only met Sarah Jane a few times but we've talked slings, breastfeeding etc for hours and so to finally meet her twins and see her and her hubby wearing the babies and to hear how much she's enjoying breastfeeding was a delight.
And actually, the Faery Festival was almost a sling convention! 3 of us were using ring slings, Sarah Jane and hubby had carry me closer slings and we saw a lady with a bjorn type sling. I've never seen so many people wearing slings in public before, it was marvelous.

After the festival on Sunday, Sarie and Colin packed up, chatted some more, watched the children play in the garden - sadly I didn't get any photos, wish I had because there was a lovely kodak moment when Alice was playing with the colourful softplay balls and sand bucket - it just looked so pretty particularly with the gorgeous faery dress she was wearing. And she had a go on the trampoline too (one of the times Rye got a bit jealous). Then sadly it was time for them to leave; the house seemed very quiet and empty. I don't think Rye understood they were going home because this morning he ran outside looking for their tent and seemed a bit confused.

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

sarie said...

Hi there,
tell Rye we'll be back soon and are thinking of you both(and thank you for having us and putting up with my insesant drivle).

Joxy said...

Oh it was pleasure, I love having company and Rye certainly adores it too :)

Feel free to come back any time; even if you want a long weekend at the beach or Goddess festival in August etc.
