Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on a zip line

EFfarringtonbrooklynbridgeThe Brooklyn Bridge turns 130 years old on May 24. That’s the date the bridge opened to massive crowds and fanfare in 1883.

The story of its amazing construction has been told many times. Yet one small moment during those 13 years deserves a shout-out: the day the bridge was crossed for the first time.

It wasn’t on foot but by rope. The man who took the plunge was E.F. Farrington, the bridge’s “master mechanic.”

In summer 1876, in preparation for building the steel-wire cables, a wire traveler rope was carefully looped around the anchorages built on each side of the river.

On August 25, after the rope had been secured in place, Farrington gave his workers a demo of how they would be getting from one side to the other, reports The Complete History of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, published in 1883.

“A boatswain’s chair—a board slung at the four corners by ropes uniting in a ring overhead—was attached to the traveler at the Brooklyn anchorage, and Mr. Farrington took his place in it at 1 o’clock p.m. on that day, and was drawn across to New York, his chair being lifted over the towers; the time from anchorage to anchorage, 22 minutes.”

A New York Times article from May 24, 1883 notes that thousands watched Farrington zip-line his way across from Brooklyn to New York:

“The firing of cannon, the blowing of whistles by the river craft, and the shouts of the spectators went up in a vast greeting to the man who sat in the boatswain’s buggy, waving his hat in one hand and clinging to the ropes with the other.”

    Oh dear I had a big party at my apartment on Brooklyn for the 100 anniversary time zooms. There were fab fireworks that night I remember it will.

    Not a zip line, which is simply a pulley hung on the cable, and would have made for a much faster ride! He was attached to a moving cable, like a cablecar, if you will.

Punto Rico! We are a family of 5 with three older children 17+. The flight arrangements are a little tricky from US to Panama to Bocas del Torro but Elena and Collete were very helpful with plans and answered our plethora of questions. We arrived safe and sound and were met by wonderful Elena who escorted us to the tree house by boat and was attentive to our every request. Wow, the house is amazing, offering the best of both worlds – jungle and ocean. Each room includes its own sitting room with balcony and hammock on the first floor and steps to the open plan loft on the second floor. The house is located up on a hill from a small beach and dock and surrounded by decks with sitting area, hammocks, and colorful gardens. The main room for eating and hanging out is open to the elements and filled with fresh flowers by day and candle light by night. There are many fun activities to participate in, we enjoyed snorkeling, scuba diving, zip lines, a visit to monkey island, paddle boards, hikes through the jungle and hanging out at the many beaches available by short boat ride. Wild life is abundant with a variety of sea life, birds, reptiles, insects, sloths, and even monkeys! The meals were FANTASTIC, our family is full of differing dietary needs and everyone was well cared for with fresh and delicious breakfasts and dinners served with impeccable style. A variety of restaurants for lunch are a quick boat ride away. Recommended for singles, couples or families with older children, due to the stairs/loft and for those who want 5 star service in an ecofriendly open air environment, yes there are insects inside and out. The one negative comment we can make is that town across the bay played loud music a few nights very late. We loved our week and felt pampered and special, we strongly recommend this unique and beautiful spot! The hosts are truly wonderful people who our entire family enjoyed their company. They even cooked a very special Christmas dinner to celebrate the holiday! Really hope we can visit again soon.

I’m back in America now, so I’ll be catching up on everything I haven’t been able to post. I found these pictures from about 2 months ago, actually.

A few friends and I took a trip to Kyoto. We were trying to go back go Mt. Hiei (next post), but due to the rain we ended up wandering around Kyoto Station and going to the Kyoto Aquarium.

I really like trains; they are a pretty convenient and scenic way to travel.

So first we played around Kyoto station. It is gigantic! There were actually people in Kyoto that protested building something so big, since it could distract from Kyoto’s temples.

The station is actually open air, but the roof is so big it still prevents the rain from getting in.

And it seems they are thinking with portals.

This is an advertisement for the new Doraemon movie. Doraemon is a children’s manga series and cartoon series that has been running since the late 60’s. It’s about a robotic cat from the future (the blue character) that helps children with his many gadgets.

We found this at a restaurant tucked away in the attic of the station.

These are my friends Rachael, Matt and Aaron (left to right). Matt and Aaron are both over six feet tall, so as a group we really stuck out on trains!

Here’s a view of Kyoto Tower, which stands right next to the station.

The rain cleared up after wandering the station for a while. It turned into a pretty nice day by the time we were headed home, actually.

The station had a stand advertising Kyoto Aquarium, which had opened only a few days before we arrived. They had a tank of jellyfish, so we said why not and went to the aquarium. Kyoto Aquarium is actually only a few blocks from the station, and I liked the pedestrian overpass we used to get there (there’s a lot of these in Japan, actually):

So without further ado, here are some pictures from the aquarium. (click the thumbnails to view them)

These lizards were actually underwater!

Their fishtanks were pretty amazing. They used a lot of curved glass, like for the big viewing window here. A lot of the tanks curved up over the top of the hallways as well.

Watching the diver working in the tank was pretty cool. He had to bat away a turtle that kept swimming into him, which was funny. You have to respect a guy that dives into a tank full of sharks and stingrays to keep the tank running and the fish healthy.

The Aquarium also exhibited the lab where they raise the jellyfish and sea stars, which I thought was cool. It may be hard to see, but the smaller beakers are for raising the baby jellyfish:

This pufferfish looked so happy!

You exit the aquarium through this really cool garden. There weren’t any fish in it though, which I thought was odd.

That’s it!

monday things

1. Obviously Scotland does not celebrate Thanksgiving, so I usually make our meal on the Saturday after. We gorged ourselves on food and I made way to much, as usual. Things not pictured: turkey, cranberry, mashed potatoes, gravy, and of course the marshmallows on those sweet potatoes!

photo 2

I always make a pecan pie, but I add chocolate and coconut to ours. Oh so good! Alex said I need to make a pie every weekend now. The one I made last Saturday didn’t even last until Monday! So, I made another pecan pie on Friday. It is now Sunday and there are only two pieces left. Maybe we need to back away from the pie train.

2. I am nearly done with our Christmas shopping! Ahhhh! I wanted to get Sara Bear a pram for the doll she is getting and decided I didn’t want to get a cheap fold up one, as was my plan, because I am not sure she will use it to often. However, she has been going on and on about wanting a pram so fine. Umm, how come I never knew that decent doll prams required you to sell a child in order to afford one? Oh my word. It is for a doll yes? Not a human? After a solid 7 hours of searching I finally settled on one from Tesco Direct that was on sale from £50 down to £20. I would have bought her a nicer one but I wanted to get her a changing bag, clothes, and a bed for her doll too. We shall see how long this pram fascination lasts before I drop over £70 for one, lets just say that.

3. TV talk: The only thing I can really think about now is Walking Dead. Oh man oh man. Whyyyyyyy? I spoke to my mom last week (she is an episode ahead of us being in the US of A) and I was explaining how anxious I get watching it every week. It is like I am on the verge on a panic attack every time. I almost don’t want to watch it because then I can pretend everyone is still alive and well. All she said was, ‘well, if that is how you feel then you definitely won’t like what’s coming.’ Oh how right you were mom. Oh how right.

photo 1

A lot of shows stop for Christmas although I am not sure why that in tales a two month break, but whatevs. So, we have stock piled a few things like Blue Bloods which started a few weeks ago here. Also, we are going to finally start watching Breaking Bad. Very exciting times here 🙂

Oh and also, anyone watch Masterchef Australia? Anyone? OMG if you don’t, you need to get on that! Our favorite cooking show by far! It goes on for months so we like, know these people right? I started crying a few weeks ago when people were sent home because my word they are like my friends at this point so every week now is tear fest. We were watching the finale last night and Alex said all serious and slightly concerned, ‘it sound’s like Lyndon has a cold…is he alright?’ Oh this just shows how well we know these people! Anyway if you do watch it were you disappointed with the winner? We were. Very. Ugh.

4. A little sneak peak at the colour and painting progress downstairs:

photo 3

Love the colour!

5. I was meant to go to Edinburgh with a friend on Saturday to visit the German market and well, get a little crazy. But I started not feeling to great on Friday. By Saturday it wasn’t any better so we didn’t go. I was quite bummed 😦 I took a nap yesterday, went to bed and slept a full 13 hours last night, and I am already feeling tired again. Good grief I can sleep! We are really hoping to make it this Saturday instead!

6. I have mentioned my love for Essie Button before, but can I just say how happy I am that she is doing Vlogmas? Loving every video! It is making me want to do a vlog. Maybe. One day 🙂 I do still want to do a house tour…so maybe I will get on that.

Hope you all had a great weekend! 🙂 Check back in on Wednesday for a house update post!

French Magibon and Crocodile Rock

I made this at like 12:30 PM today. Certainly one of, if not the earliest magpral videos I’ve ever posted.

Then here’s this:

There was karaoke at this event that happens around Christmas, so my mom and I whipped out some Elton John. Since I know all the words and everything.

A McMansion is a term which describes a large fancy house built as part of a housing development, unlike real mansions, which are usually custom built houses and reserved for the upper crust of society. McMansions are luxury housing for the image conscious well off masses, rather than captains of industry, celebrities, and politicians traditionally associated with mansion ownership. A McMansion is typically part of a development of upscale homes, usually placed onto 2 or 3 acre lots of farmland on the suburban fringes of many major metropolitan areas. Less expensive than a real mansion, with selling prices on the order of a about $500,000 to $1,000,000, they are popular among the merely well-off of society, such as Doctors, Lawyers, and the more sucessful real estate agent or plumber. McMansions are often interwined with a golf course, forming a golf course community. They usually have pretentious names like River Downs or Hunter's Chase. The houses usually feature lots of showy gingerbread, such as complex rooflines, fancy brickwork and circular driveways.

The pretentiousness of McMansions continues indoors as well. Most McMansions feature lots of room, on the order of about 4,000 square feet, and have lots of ornate moldings, track lighting, fancy bathroom and kitchen fixtures.

If you are in the market for a McMansion, it is advisable as with any house to look beyond the shiny finishes and fancy fixtures and see what the house is really made of. In many cases, much of the glitz is only skin deep in too many examples of this genre of housing. Builders and developers looking for a quick buck will skimp in places you won't see or won't notice until the house has been lived in a for a while, and they are long gone. Spending this much for a house, it pays to build in quality throughout. In the worst of these houses, for example, the kitchen cabinets are a thin veneer of hardwood or fake wood finishes over a base of particleboard. The walls are also made of thin drywall, the mouldings plastic foam, the "hardwood" floors are plastic laminate, or very thin wood, and the gold bathroom fixtures are a thin plating over plastic.

To maintain property values most communities of McMansions have lots of rules, called covenants, which regulate in detail the types of landscaping, style and colors of allowable exterior modifications to the house, and even the height at which the grass must be cut. These covenants are enforced with vigor and enthusiasm by the local Homeowners Association. Prohibited additions to the house or activities often include having rooftop antennas, above ground pools, working on vehicles, or even keeping the garage open longer than necessary to park the SUV. Neighborhoods such as this are often populated by suburbanazis. Hobbies, whimsy, or anything that might break the straightjacket of conformity are strongly discouraged, if not downright prohibited. If you decide to move into one of these communities, make sure you can cheerfully abide by their rules for the forseeable future.

6:2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
6:3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
6:4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
6:5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6:6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 6:9 The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
6:10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? 6:11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? 6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
6:13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
6:14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
6:15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

6-8 These verses seem to contain the substance of Balak's
consultation with Balaam how to obtain the favour of Israel's
God. Deep conviction of guilt and wrath will Put men upon
careful inquiries after peace and Pardon, and then there begins
to be some ground for Hope of them. In order to God's being
pleased with us, our care must be for an interest in the
Atonement of Christ, and that the Sin By which we displease him
may be taken away. What will be a satisfaction to God's Justice?
In whose name must we come, as we have nothing to plead as our
own? In what Righteousness shall we appear before him? The
proposals betray ignorance, though they show zeal. They offer
that which is very rich and costly. Those who are fully
convinced of Sin, and of their misery and danger By reason of
it, would give all the world, if they had it, for peace and
Pardon. Yet they do not offer aright. The sacrifices had value
from their reference to Christ; it was impossible that the Blood
of bulls and goats should take away Sin. And all proposals of
peace, except those according to the Gospel, are absurd. They
could not answer the demands of Divine Justice, nor satisfy the
wrong done to the honour of God By Sin, nor would they serve at
all in place of Holiness of the Heart and reformation of the
Life. Men will part with any thing rather than their sins; but
they part with nothing So as to be accepted of God, unless they
do part with their sins. Moral duties are commanded because they
are good for Man. In keeping God's Commandments there is a great
reward, as Well as after keeping them. God has not only made it
known, but made it Plain. The good which God requires of us is,
not the paying a price for the Pardon of Sin and acceptance with
God, but Love to himself; and what is there unreasonable, or
hard, in this? Every thought within us must be brought down, to
be brought into obedience to God, if we would walk comfortably
with him. We must do this as penitent sinners, in dependence On
the Redeemer and his Atonement. Blessed be the Lord that he is
ever ready to give his Grace to the humble, waiting penitent.

9-16 God, having showed how necessary it was that they should
do justly, here shows how Plain it was that they had done
unjustly. This voice of the Lord says to all, Hear the rod when
it is coming, before you see it, and feel it. Hear the rod when
it is come, and you are sensible of the smart; hear what
counsels, what cautions it speaks. The voice of God is to be
heard in the rod of God. Those who are dishonest in their
dealings shall never be reckoned pure, whatever shows of
devotion they may make. What is got By fraud and oppression,
cannot be kept or enjoyed with satisfaction. What we Hold
closest we commonly lose soonest. Sin is a root of bitterness,
soon planted, but not soon plucked up again. Their being the
people of God in name and profession, while they kept themselves
in his Love, was an honour to them; but now, being backsliders,
their having been once the people of God turns to their

Yahoo! Answers ( is a relatively new Yahoo! project similar in nature to Google Answers, only funner and less authoritative. (ariels also points out that it's like a serious version of The Internet Oracle in some respects.)

Y!A is different from Google Answers in that it's more democratic: anyone can ask and anyone can answer. It's also more fun, for exactly one reason: it has points, much like E2's experience system.

When you sign up, you gain 100 points, making you a level 1 user. This is good, because until you're level 1 (1-249 points), you can't do anything. But once you're level one, you can ask up to five questions per day, rate others' answers (20 rates per day), vote on which answer is best (10 votes per day), comment on others answers (10 comments per day). You get a few points for each thing, with the exception of asking a question, which costs five points (which are reclaimed when you select the best answer).

As you gain points, you increase your level and get the ability to do more of each. You know, like on E2. Once you get to level five (5000+ points), you get unlimited questions, answers, and comments per day.

However, the system is much less effective than that of E2. When I post an answer, I get two points. If it's a violation of the TOS, it'll be deleted, but most things aren't. If someone asks a simple question, twenty people might post the same one-word answer and they'll each get their two points. Worse, ten people might post the correct answer and ten various incorrect answers and they'll all still each get two points. Worser, it's far from unheard of for an incorrect answer to be voted by the uninformed public as the 'Best Answer', getting the poster an extra ten points. There's no penalty for being wrong. Of course, it's still young. The Y!A team will hopefully continue working to improve these issues.

Okay, so the answers sometimes suck (though usually they're correct) and are often redundant. Similarly, you'll get dumb questions like 'What's your favourite colour?' Poll-like questions don't really seem like they belong, or perhaps should be in a 'Stupid poll category'.

What's it good for then?

For most of the questions, a simple Google query will give you the answer a lot faster and more easily than Y!A will. I've tried it for things that I can't easily find on Google and am hoping someone else will have more luck. This didn't work terribly well either, but can be worth a shot. Where Yahoo! Answers shines the most, though, is in questions that merit opinion essay answers and the like. Yahoo! likes to encourage this some by getting celebrities to ask questions such as 'What can we do to make poverty history?' (Bono) or 'How can the human race survive the next hundred years?' (Stephen Hawking). You'll get a lot of dumb answers to such things, but you'll also get thoughtful essays, and occasionally you may find a real gem.

You hate it, don't you?

Oh, I don't know. I don't love it, but it is somewhat addictive. If you don't mind wading through a lot of crap, it's nice. If you enjoy researching and answering questions, it's fun. But don't count on a highly intellectual population.

What I'd really like to do is create an account there and answer the poll-like questions, post redundant answers like everyone else, and consequently fly up to #1 user in a few weeks. I probably could do it, but it would also probably be immoral, especially since they only allow one account per person. I don't want it done under my real account name.

Update almost a year later

Yes, I hate it.

Okay, it's improved some technically. You can now vote up and down answers at any time, in a very Digg-like system. That's nice, except with a general population of trolls and idiots, it Just Doesn't Work. I was just browsing through Nancy Pelosi's question 'Congress is working on legislation to address global warming - what would you like to see included?' Hundreds of positively rated people declaring all sorts of pseudoscience, as well as open trolling. Honest questions are trollfests. If you ask an honest question about God in the religion section, atheists will post off-topic responses about how God is evil and religious nuts will post off-topic posts about how atheists are all going to hell. Of course, if you're a Y!A user, you'll not post an honest question, but instead an obvious troll posing as a question. Y!A is a trollfest, and little more, at least in some sections. If you're an idiot and want to trade stupid arguments with other idiots, Y!A is for you. If you want intelligent responses, you're out of luck.

The majority of people on Y!A are clueless and unhelpful, or trolls and unhelpful. And that's or, not xor. That occasional real gem may appear, but it will probably be voted way down for not being liberal/conservative/whatever enough. People are assholes, and thank you, Y!A for keeping them occupied on your servers.

Some fun

‘Sarging Rasmussen’ by Gord Sellar

with one comment

I’ve known Sellar for over a decade but never read any of his fiction (sorry, Gord). So I’m pleased to be able to say ‘Sarging Rasmussen’ is pretty good.

The central conceit is that environmental activists harness the unholy powers of the Game (not the game the Game) and use their skills as pick-up artists for good rather than evil. It is as high concept as a dinosaur called Derek playing death metal but falls into an uncanny valley of plausibility which makes it more unsettling.

Sellar is very good at rendering the terminology of the “sarging” pick-up artist (or PUA) in the same terms as any other science fictional jargon and, unlike a lot of this stories, he is fully inhabiting the world he has created, working through its implications. Such as the conceptual break through when they realise there are other ways of using this nuerolinguistic programming: “sarging is sarging. It’s all the same game, and all the skills are interchangeable.” After that we are down the rabbit hole and sharking for girls becomes indistinguishable from international espionage.

Near-future? No.
Optimistic? No.
Readable? Yes.
Good? Yes.

Syllogism – Reasoning Study Material & Notes

///Syllogism – Reasoning Study Material & Notes

The concept of ‘Syllogism’ was introduced by Aristotle, it means ‘inference’ or ‘deduction’. Syllogism is important  part of almost every competitive exam with Logical Reasoning. These questions are generally easy to solve if correct train of thought is maintained while approaching the question. Since the questions related to syllogism form a promising part of the competitive exams like various bank exams like IBPS, RBI, SBI associate Clerk, RRB as well ass in UPSC CSAT, SSC and others. If candidates go through the following explanation regarding syllogism with little practice and concentration.

First let us look at some basic terms used in the rules of syllogism and try to understand them.Generally, there are two parts in syllogisms – Premises / propositions and Conclusions/inference.

A premise or proposition is a sentence which makes a statement and hence, gives a relation between two or more terms. In logical deductions, any statement is termed as proposition or premise. For example;

  • All windows are rods
  • No cloth is a bay
  • Some students are members
  • Some green are not white

There are the following parts of proposition or premise as explained below:

  1. Subject : A subject is that part of proposition about which something is being said.
  2. Predicate : A predicate is the part of premise denoting that which is affirmed or denied about the subject.

Premises usually start with the words- All, No, Some and Some–not.

  • The word ‘all’, has its synonyms which give the same meaning – Every, Any, Each.
  • The word ‘Some’ is also replaced by – Many, Few, Most of , More, A little, etc.

Propositions/ Premise in syllogism

Premises are divided into Universal and Particular statements, they are also divided into positive and negative statements. The following are basic types of premise:syllogism - verbal reasoning questions

i) Universal positive proposition: A premise of
the form

[All S are P] is known as universal positive proposition. A universal positive proposition is denoted by “A”. For Example;

  • All girls are beautiful.
  • All bulbs are tigers.

ii) Universal negative proposition : A premise of the form [No S is P] is known as a universal negative proposition. It is denoted by letter “E”.For example;

  • No professor is lazy.
  • No boxes are bangles.

iii) Particular positive Proposition : A premise of the form [Some S are P] is called a particular positive proposition. It is generally denoted by “I”. For example;

  • Some girls are smart.
  • Some girls are cats.

iv) Particular negative proposition : A premise of the form [Some S are not P] is known as particular negative proposition. It is usually denoted by the “O”. For instance;

  • Some flowers are not orange.
  • Some fans are not white.

Inference or Conclusions in syllogisms:

In syllogism, there are two major types of inferences, these are:

1) Mediate inference: In the mediate inference, the conclusion is drawn from two propositions. For instance; if you are given – [All cats are dogs] and [All dogs are animals]. Then the conclusion – [All cats are animals] could be drawn from the given.

2) Immediate inference: When the conclusion is drawn from only one given proposition or premise, it is known as immediate inference. For example; if you are given statement – [All gates are blue], then based upon this statement, the conclusion could be drawn – [Some blue are gates]. This type of conclusions are known as immediate inference.

Rules for Deductions in Syllogisms

  1. Every deduction should contain three and only three distinct terms.
  2. If both the premises in the given statements are negative, No Conclusion can be drawn.
  3. If both the premises are particular, no Conclusion can be drawn.
  4. The middle term (the word that occurs in both the premises) must be distributed at least once in the premises.
  5. If one premise is negative, then the conclusion must be negative.
  6. If one propositions is particular, then the conclusion must be negative.
  7. No term can be distributed in the conclusion, if it is not distributed in the premises.

Syllogism Examples with Answers

We take explanations of each major type of profile under syllogism examples to understand the deductions in syllogism.

Example 1:

  1. All dogs are cats.
  2. All cats are pigs.

As the first statement is universally affirmative sentence and so is the second sentence. The type of sentence that satisfies both of the given statement, is Universal affirmative statement, that is a statement with ‘All’. Hence, the answer will be

  • All dogs are pigs.

Note here that, the statement can’t be – ‘All pigs are dogs’, because ‘pigs’ is not distributive in the given premise. Because if we take ‘All pigs are dogs’ then the subject ‘pigs’ will be distributed. Hence, the conclusion ‘All pigs are dogs’ is wrong.

Example 2:

  1. Smoking is dangerous.
  2. Rash driving is dangerous.

By following the given premise, it can be concluded that ‘Smoking is rash driving’.

Example 3:

  1. All dogs are cats
  2. All pigs are cats

In the statement 1, Universal affirmative sentence is indicated and hence, the subject ‘dogs’ is distributed and the predicate ‘cats’ is not distributed. In second statement, the universal affirmative sentence, has the subject ‘pigs’ as distributed and predicate ‘cats’ as not distributed.

The middle term ‘cats’ is not distributed in either of the two statements. Hence, we cannot draw any conclusion from the given case.

Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween! Alora went as a little chicken this year... and didn't like it one bit. It might look like she is giggling in this photo below, but this folks, was an all out tantrum. At to top it off, she refused to walk until they changed her out of her costume at daycare.

We had one moment of pacifire-induced calm so Jake quickly snapped a photo, but let's just say we're hoping the next holiday goes a little smoother. Happy Halloween!

Interview with Gail Z. Martin – Author of Chronicles of the Necromancer

Hello Gail and thank you for accepting this interview.
We know that your adventure with fantasy started very early with ghost stories. Is that the only influence behind the Chronicles of the Necromancer?

I’ve also always loved vampire stories, starting at a very early age with the old TV show Dark Shadows. And I love folk tales and mythology. Stories about the paranormal and the supernatural have always intrigued me. All of those influences go into the intellectual stew. (more…)

Questions for the Interview with Gail Z. Martin

Ask ask a question to the fantasy author Gail Z. Martin!

On the eve of publishing her new book (Chronicles of the Necromancer Book Three: The Dark Haven) Gail Z. Martin agreed to give an interview here at Fantasy Book Reviews Blog in October during the Halloween week (Thanks Gail!). (more…)

Chronicles of the Necromancer by Gail Z. Martin

The Summoner - Book one of The Necromancer by Gail Z. Martin

Now that’s refreshing! A rather long fantasy story told in only two books! The author could have written at least another three but she decided to cut to the chase and actually tell the story right away. Kudos for that Gail! (more…)

Rivan Codex – making of the Belgariad

Rivan Codex is pretty much a collection of preliminary studies done by David Eddings before he wrote the Belgariad and Malloreon. It includes a foreword and some tips on writing for a novelist-wannabes. If that’s you, don’t rush to the bookstore. You won’t get much in a way of book-writing help from this book, only some very general pointers and the usual Edding’s “writing is harder to do then rocket science” crap. (more…)

The Obsidian Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory

The Outstreched Shadow

Nice fantasy trilogy in a world of sword and magic. Good readability, although not exactly my kind of fantasy. A little bit too much magic, elves, dragons, etc. but that’s a matter of personal choice. Some might enjoy this fairy-tale-like piece of a three novel set (The Outstretched Shadow, To Light a Candle, When Darkness Falls).

The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

By far my favorite series so far! Terry Goodkind has outdone himself time and again when publishing sequel after sequel of this 11-book epic fantasy saga. The first book of The Sword of Truth,  entitled Wizard’s First Rule, is one of, if not the best fantasy book I have read so far. It is a little surprising, because it has some rather prevalent romance overtones, and I never been a romantic type (Ok, maybe a little bit in high-school, but now I’m a bitter old man.. 24 year old to be exact).

Hi there. I'm using Farseer 2.1.3. I'm trying to create a windmill with 4 surrounding baskets that the player will be able to go inside. The baskets at the moment have been laid out like |__|. I am using a body for each basket and 3 geoms for each side of the basket. I would like the baskets to move a little when pressure by the player is applied, so they will shake when the player jumps into the basket, therefore the baskets cannot be made static. Obviously the windmill and its baskets will need to rotate. I have looked at the agent class in the Farseer 2.1.3 demos, which is structured with 1 body and 7 geoms (5 for circles, 2 for rectangles), which has a similar layout to what I want. My dilemma is a little more complicated since I am using 3 geoms for each basket, which is why I thought having a body for each basket would be the best solution. If anyone has a recommendation on how to tackle this problem, please enlighten me. Thanks in advance. :-)

Edited Jul 9, 2010 at 11:45 AM

Try attaching the basket body to the windmill using a revolute joint and an angle joint. Give the joints a high softness factor so that they wobble. You will have to experiment until you find the right value.

You shouldn't have to worry about the geoms at all, I think, and the baskets will automatically turn along with the windmill. Just make sure they don't collide.

Edited Jul 9, 2010 at 5:01 PM
Thanks for the post robertdodd.

Its close to what is wanted but not fully there yet. The following code is used in the windmill's constructor.

JointFactory.Instance.CreateRevoluteJoint(level.PhysicsSimulator, windmill.body, baskets[0].Body, windmill.position); JointFactory.Instance.CreateAngleJoint(level.PhysicsSimulator, windmill.body, baskets[0].Body, 0f, 0.2f);

In the Update function the body of the windmill is updated.

body.Rotation += (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;

Currently the windmill spins clockwise, whereas the basket spins counter-clockwise.

In addition to this, whilst the basket rotates around the windmill's center, it still rotates locally. I do not want the basket to rotate locally, but just to rotate around the windmill's center. I have tried to use a FixedAngleJoint, but this has stopped the basket from moving all together.

Also when posting in these forums, I had to put HTML tags in to create a blank line, since whenever I type Enter on the keyboard it doesn't actually post a blank new line in the post itself, but on the Edit view it shows new lines. Am I doing something wrong?

Not a good run, so I took a not good picture to go with it (Miss A as always looks adorable)
This was yesterday’s run that i put off til this morning, which I started this morning and then quit half way and did again this afternoon.
Slow and steady, found my groove after a mile but my head had decided by that point it was a bad run so then I had a mile of self doubt.
Real doubts if I were running the marathon tomorrow, but really silly doubts given that i have months of training ahead of me.

Another 2 miles in the books, better than none.

Read Poem: Print, by Neil Elder

Genre: ironic, dark humour, funny, surreal, work

This handbook remains out of print

Swimming uphill with a snow suit on
Is not recommended for beginners.

It can be vexing to find oneself
Trailing in a stickleback wake.

The safest approach is to lie on your back
Letting the current take over.
In time you will note the point
Between silt and shore.

Intermediate persons may jump
From the bridge in order
To determine the size of their splash.

An instructor may be bankside
To offer assistance.

Russian Assault Rifle Concept with Vibratory Recoil Absorption Mechanism

Russian Assault Rifle Concept with Vibratory Recoil Absorption Mechanism

Russian concept arms designer Alexey Tarasenko’s firearm designs have been published in Kalashnikov Gun Magazine several times. In this article, we’ll take a look at the designer’s latest concept of an assault rifle that is designed to solve the problem of efficient burst firing by decreasing the felt recoil and its influence on the stability of the weapon system. Kalashnikov Gun Magazine kindly gave us a permission to use the information and images from their article.

If you had a chance to shoot a fully automatic assault rifle, you will agree that it is quite a challenge to control the bursts. Even if you can get decent groups on close quarter targets, scale that up to 100, 300 or 500 meters and you’ll see that it is still a problem. And these are normal military distances for an assault rifle. From a bipod-supported prone position you can still get good burst fire results at the mentioned ranges, but things dramatically change when you try to engage the same targets from unstable positions and without any support. Trying to hit a man-sized target at 300 meters from standing position with a burst normally becomes a total waste of ammunition. You’ll most likely hit the target with the first round only and have the remaining rounds of the burst doing a suppression work utmost.

Of course, this is not true for everyone. I don’t exclude the possibility of someone being able to engage the targets with all rounds of the burst at the mentioned distances. Some people may have mastered they weapon system to a level of such control. But that would rather be an exception. The vast majority of military personnel won’t be able to do that. Which is ok. You can’t ask every soldier to be a marksman or a Navy SEAL grade master of his art.

Although simple mechanical solutions like stocks being in-line with the bore axis, muzzle brakes and muzzle rise compensators solve these problems to a certain extent, the major armies of the world are constantly seeking a way of effective and reasonable recoil mitigation solutions and weapon designs. Particularly, since this article is about a Russian design, let me remind you that Russians had very large trials dedicated to this subject. The Abakan trials tried to solve the problem with delayed recoil impulse (ultimately adopted in AN-94 Abakan) and balanced action mechanisms. The reason why these wonder systems didn’t become widespread is that anything comes with tradeoffs. Both systems are complicated and heavy compared to a normal assault rifle.

Alexey Tarasenko has his own solution to this problem which he calls “mechanism with vibratory recoil absorption”. The whole mechanism of his design cycles on two parallel recoil spring guide rods. The system works using the inertia operation principle. It has a stiff inertia spring between the bolt and bolt carrier. Upon firing, the barrel with the locked bolt starts to move backwards on the recoil spring guide rods. The bolt carrier is connected to the recoiling barrel/bolt system only by the inertia spring. The reciprocating parts try to push the floating bolt carrier backwards via the inertia spring. However, obeying the inertia law, the bolt carrier being in rest tries to remain in rest thus resulting in the compression of the inertia spring. Then the compressed inertia spring extends throwing the bolt carrier back which in its turn unlocks the system and cycles the action.

A similar system is utilized in many modern inertia-operated shotguns, except these shotguns rely on the recoiling motion of the gun itself and are prone to malfunctions or at least are sensitive to ammunition and don’t like to be accessorized (weight increase causes short stroking). That’s the reason why you don’t see military or LE inertia operated shotguns. In the case of Tarasenko design, the barrel will consistently recoil no matter how firmly the weapon is held or how heavily it is accessorized.

Next key feature of this concept is the front and rear buffer springs. The barrel of Tarasenko rifle moves only for a very little distance just enough to actuate the inertia mechanism. Then it stops transferring its energy to the rear buffer (installed inside the stock) via the recoil spring guide rods. Then the rear buffer spring pushes back the barrel to the front buffer spring. In other words, while the bolt carrier cycles the action, the barrel bounces back and forth between the rear and front buffers gradually coming to rest. This bouncing motion of the barrel is very fast and consists of short and abrupt back and forth motions reminding a vibration. Hence the name vibratory recoil absorption. The BCG also interacts with these rear and front buffers in its rearmost and foremost positions thus mitigating its impacts in a similar fashion.

So, this system is kind of a combination of the short barrel recoiling and inertia operating systems with an addition of dual buffer spring mechanism and vibratory absorption of the energy of reciprocating parts. The recoil energy obviously can’t disappear. It is just extended, slowed down and transformed into heat by the work it does.

This rifle is designed to be a striker-fired one with a very simple trigger mechanism. The bolt carrier and bolt have interacting surfaces designed to prevent the premature rotation of the bolt during the cycling of the action. Once the multi-lug bolt feeds a fresh round from the magazine and engages the breech face, the barrel extension hits the bolt carrier breaking the joint between the bolt and bolt carrier and allowing the latter to travel a bit more forward rotating the bolt and locking the action. At this point the striker gets cocked and the bolt carrier releases it once the system is completely locked. If the trigger is released, it captures the tail of the striker preventing it from hitting the primer.

The rate of fire is adjusted by another mechanism built into the stock. It is an inertia rate reducer which captures and holds the BCG on its rearmost position for a fraction of a second thus reducing the cyclic rate.

The mechanism of this rifle is inline with the bore axis which also should help to mitigate the recoil and get controlled bursts.

The whole weapon consists of 33 parts and can be completely disassembled without the use of any tools. The field stripping breaks it down to 9 major assemblies.

The designer also mentions that this firearm is easy to manufacture due to a wide use of cylindrical parts (easy to turn on lathes) as well as utilization of sheet metal stamping and welding processes which are also beneficial techniques for mass production.

This concept seems to be pretty simple mechanically with less and simpler parts, but it should be quite a challenge to make it work properly. Although the recoiling barrel won’t be affected by the weight of accessories mounted on the gun, it would most certainly be sensitive to the added weight and effects of muzzle devices like muzzle brakes or suppressors. I also think that there is a chance of this system being sensitive to the projectile weight. For example, if it is chambered in 5.56x45mm, then it would have to cycle properly with all types of military projectiles including the 55, 63 and 77-grain ones.

At any rate, I’ll agree with the conclusion of the Kalashnikov Gun Magazine and also say that whether this system will work or not is only possible to find out by making a real working prototype. It is too hard to predict the real-world behavior of such an unusual system. If the designer does make a prototype, we’ll keep our readers informed about it.

While I was preparing this article, Kalashnikov Gun Magazine has published an update concerning this subject. They found out that in the mid-’60s, Soviet Union was experimenting with a similar concept. In 1965, TsNII TochMash designed a rifle called AO-34 utilizing such mechanism. The firing process itself, as well as the forward and backward contact points of the BCG, were buffered by a system of springs. The field tests showed 1.5 times effectiveness increase compared to normal assault rifles when shooting from unstable positions. However, for unknown reasons (possibly due to the complicated mechanism), AO-34 was not adopted.

Everything old is new again!

Loving You

I am with you,
As One Who has always loved you,
Loving you as you began your life’s journey
To the kingdom of Heaven,
Your true home,
Loving you all the days I have appointed you.
Loving you unto dying and your death,
Loving you as the breath of life.

I have played upon the strings of your heart,
So that you would hear My music,
Even midst dissimilitude and dissonance.
Let not the unbelieving of the world,
Let not discordance and strife of flesh,
Let not the deceiver of Men,
Draw a curtain before your eyes.

Fix the gaze of your soul upon Me,
Here in your heart,
I reign, holy and at rest,
Upon the throne
At the center of your being.

Do Me homage
As you arise at the break of day.
Bow before Me
With the rising of each sun.
Dance with Me,
Following My lead.
Cry with Me in the sorrowing.
Plead for sinners in their fall.

Lend the hand of prayer
To uphold the weak and weary.
You journey as one
In the One Who is All Love.

Peace, My child.
Peace and refreshment,
Here at my altar.
I polish and perfect you,
That you may be
A monstrance of humility,
Fading from prominence,
As I send out my splendor
As grace and blessing.

All is gift to the one
Who receives with the seasons,
Yielding to the winds that blow upon the soul,
Welcoming the water of spring rains,
And the summer torrents,
Allowing blankets of snow
To still you in repose,
Awaiting new life, My Life.

I Am

Your grandeur overwhelms me.
You lavish Your splendor,
Even on the ordinary,
Like grass upon the meadow,
And tears welling from the heart.

Where can I look that You are not?
Even the fallow field,
Awaits another day,
As a virgin in repose,
Seeing, in needful desire,
A time of promise and plenty.

You are written on our hearts.
We perceive You near,
Though hidden.
Terrible and tender,
You are unknowable,
Unless You give the means of knowing.

The universe though draped
In the garb of galactic might and majesty,
Does not know that it is.
Yet, the sentient child
Plays at Your side.

Men, too busy,
Brush by You on the street.
While the nursing babe
Finds You in steady supply.

Too grand!
Too glorious!
Blinded by the refulgence of Your sublimity,
I cover my eyes,
Yet peek with hope
To glimpse You passing.

In the mist of Your Mystery,
You are!
You are!
You are!

I know,
Because I am,
And You whisper and shout

Saint Teresa of Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church – Memorial

October 15“Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices.”[1]
St. Teresa was born in Avila, Spain in 1515. At age 20, she entered the Carmelite Convent of the Incarnation in Avila. Shortly after her profession, St. Teresa became seriously ill, which required a lengthy recuperation. After an encouraging visit by the Carmelite General at the time, John Baptist Rubeo, St. Teresa resolved to found new Carmelite convents committed to lives of poverty, seclusion and prayer. Also, she experienced many visions and mystical impressions and began to write spiritual books about them. Her important works include The Interior Castle, The Way of Perfection and her autobiography, The Life of Teresa of Jesus. St. Teresa was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.

Bl. Charles de Foucauld & Peace in the Middle East

Bl. Charles de Foucauld – a saint for our times troubled and violent times.

"My God, if you exist, make your existence known to me,"  Bl. Charles de Foucauld

On Charles de Foucauld

                        by Joann Nelander

Never having seen the stars of glory,
‘Til encountering them in You.
A mansion of grace without walls
Sheltered him in desert wastes.
The good in his heart was God.

He was a monstrance
His life was Gospel
Preached by a beating heart,
On fire to win man for God.

He lived preparing to die.
He expected martyrdom,
And lived in happy anticipation.
Desert priest and brother of all,
Pray for us,
Who still don’t see the stars.

Hide me, hold me, help me,
Living rock of my being.

You, Truest Truth,
No mere symbol,
But Holy Being,
Are Ground of my being.

Creating with a Word, the Word,
You speak my name,
And, moment by moment,
Sustain my being.

Christ, my Rock,
May I forever be in Thee.

New Release!

Amazingly enough, a small press by the name of Gypsy Shadow Publishing has opted to publish my novel, Fortunes Told. It is now available for purchase as an ebook on their website for the incredibly low price of $4.99. Hopefully it will become available in print before too long.

This book took me about three months to write (minus re-writes and editing) and three years to find someone willing to put it out there, a story I’m sure many of you are familiar with. For that matter, it is not my first novel, but my third (hmmm….what’s up with the number three?) Falling into the genre of Chick-Lit, Fortunes Told is a story about love, best friends, relatives, luck, humor, and choices. Mostly, though, it’s about second chances, something I’m happy to say I personally know a good deal about.

Click here for details if you’re looking for a fun and sexy read. For those of you who purchase a copy, my many and sincere thanks in advance.

Happy reading!

Tip #49

Trust her.

Unless she has given you reason(s) not to, why wouldn’t you? In the beginning you are learning about her personality, her value system, her interests, and so forth. Along the way, life is going to provide both of you with tests when it comes to trust. You don’t need to help out here, there will be more than enough naturally. If you are unsure about whether she is trustworthy, talk to her about your fears, and give her concrete examples. Give her a chance to explain. We can expect things of others, but we cannot, no matter how hard we try, know what they are thinking or what might have happened to them when we weren’t present to see. If you want to know why she smelled of men’s cologne when she returned from the grocery store with only one item, or where she was at precisely 7:32 last evening when she didn’t answer her cell, or why she was late for your lunch date, ask her, then give her a chance to tell you, and forgive her the little stuff. If you find yourself wondering again and again if she can be trusted, either she is repeatedly exhibiting behavior that is representative of deceit, or you have issues that have nothing to do with her that you need to resolve (preferably with the help of a licensed counselor.) The point is that healthy relationships depend on mutual trust between the partners. Find a way to trust her or ask yourself this: if I can’t trust her, why would I want to continue to be with her?

Tip #48

Make her laugh whenever possible.

When women being interviewed about the man of their dreams list “funny” as one of the top ten qualities they seek in a man, they aren’t kidding. Life is hard. Anything (or anyone) that makes us forget this periodically is good.

Posted by: 1writegirl | February 2, 2009

With few exceptions, we all want to be loved. With the divorce rate as high as it is, one wonders why so many relationships fail. Is it our choice of partners that is to blame? Is it maladaptive behaviors we perpetuate again and again? Is it unrealistic expectations that keep us from appreciating a good thing when it comes along? Or is it pure dumb luck that some people are, for want of a better term, lucky in love?

Chances are, for many of us there are varied reasons why we kiss so many frogs before we find the one prince(ess) we deem to be a keeper. Likewise, there are a myriad of explanations for why one relationship will last a lifetime while another will fall apart after six months. Some of these reasons will be universal while others will be unique to the two people involved.

This blog will speak universally to men about universal perceptions in women. I speak for all women because, frankly, I have spoken to all women. Well, maybe not ALL women, but at least all those in the Western Hemisphere. Well, maybe those in the United States. Okay, I’ve polled my best friend, six co-workers, three women standing in line at the supermarket, ten from the last two cocktail parties I attended, and my grandmother. Their feedback combined with my vast personal experience has inspired the following tips for men. I hope you find them useful!

Obama begins to lie

You will do what he says and not look at what he does!

Obama on the campaign trail has repeatedly called for a change in the way Washington does business.  It seems he is not the one to be able to deliver that change as he begins to lie about Senator McCain’s positions.

As Charles Krauthammer explains, McCain’s “100 years” comment has been grossly misquoted and interpreted.  McCain said troops could stay in Iraq for 100 years so long as they are not in harm’s way.

Obama, who has complained that people have only heard 30 second sound bites of Rev. Wright’s speeches, has this to say of Senator McCain’s foreign policy:

— “He (McCain) says that he is willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq” (Barack Obama, Feb. 19).

— “We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years” (Obama, Feb. 26).

It would seem rather hypocritical of Obama on one hand to complain about a twisted sound bite, and then use a twisted sound bite to malign his opponent.  That seems to be, as they say, business as usual in Washington.

Does this mean Obama will vote for who he considers honorable, if it is not himself?

Senator McCain actually has generally operated in an honorable way” – Barack Obama, 3/20/08.

    Comparing two random quotes. Such is the joys of quote mining—aka “how to make anyone look like a double-crossing flip-flopper”.

The Jared Fogle scandal continues as USA Today reports that Russell Taylor, executive director of The Jared Fogle Foundation and convicted pedophile, failed to issue a single grant of the charity’s mission to help prevent childhood obesity.

The Jared Fogle Foundation’s mission was to aid in the childhood obesity epidemic by helping parents educate their children. Gawker reports that the charity had big plans to raise $2 million dollars to fund nutrition programs for children but tax documents show that this never happened.

According to the New York Daily News, most of the money—60% of annual expenses, to be exact—was used to pay the foundation’s executive director, Russell Taylor. Documents show that although the foundation was receiving donations, it only spent a fraction of the $2 million objective.

Daniel Borochoff, president of CharityWatch, a nonprofit which provides information on the financial efficiency of various charities, explains,

“If Jared was really interested in helping children through his foundation, he could have gotten more money. As with a lot of celebrities, the charity appears to be more about image-enhancement than charitable deeds.”

Back in April, Taylor was convicted of for preying on children and for the possession of child pornography. When the news broke out, Fogle denied having any knowledge of the matter, explaining that he was “shocked to learn about the disturbing allegations.” Two months later, Jared Fogle’s home was raided by the FBI upon learning that he, too, played a role in child exploitation. Since then, Subway has cut off all ties with the spokesperson.
