Fallacies And Fooleries |
“When the two theories have the same evidence they must both be accepted at equal value.” This is the first of letter writer Pete Greer’s many logical fallacies and fooleries. Two theories, in dramatic contradiction, one scientific, one mythological, must each be given equal respect as long as they are both based on th... |
“Manipulating the genetics of a kind (or form) of life has never caused a new kind to appear.” By this does he mean, like, trying to cross-breed a duck with a crocodile and getting a “crockoduck” in Kirk Cameron’s brilliant formulation? Do creationists forward such infantilisms as serious arguments? |
Evolution, Greer says, “has to violate the Cell Theory and The Law of Biogenesis in order to be true.” What does he mean by “Cell Theory” in this context and how does evolution violate it? I’m guessing “Law of Entropy” refers to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. |
Pete, you might check with Answers in Genesis, “Arguments we think creationists should no longer use.” Even AiG recognizes the folly of the Second Law argument. It has been thoroughly and repeatedly discredited for 40 years. |
“Concerning DNA, we know that all information codes come from a source of intelligence and this is without exception.” Really? Who is the “we” referred to here? It can only be the creationist community, which has been somewhat behind the curve on all this for thousands of years. How does “we” know it, or know anything.... |
And because the Bible is the Word of God. But how do they know that? |

Well, didn't the brilliant all knowing scientists of the past tell us the world was flat and you could sail off the edge. And that the Earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around the Earth? They even made official maps depicting this. So much for science knowing the answers. |

I would like to clarify some things and respond to your questions. Common evidence is the geologic column. Uniformitarianism has faded into the background and punctuated equilibrium seems to be in favor among most evolutionists. Biblical creationism holds to the formation of most of the sedimentary layers as the result... |

I'm trying to figure out why this works in FireFox, Chrome but not in IE and not properly in Safari and Opera (you can view it working at http://41six.com/about/) |
<div id="menu"> |
<a href="/" class="home" title="Home" alt="fortyonesix"> </a> |
<div id='home-hover'>Home Page</div> |
#menu .home { |
background-image: url('../images/Home.png'); |
#home-hover { |
padding: 3px 0 3px 10px; |
width: 100px; |
height: 20px; |
color: #fff; |
opacity: .9; |
filter: alpha(opacity=90); |
-moz-border-radius-topright: 5px; |
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px; |
-webkit-border-top-bottom-radius: 5px; |
$('.home').hover(function() { |
function() { |
It's definitely not pretty but I'm not sure why its not working for Safari, Opera and IE |

I noticed your using jQuery 1.3.2. You could try jQuery 1.4.2. – Samuel Apr 16 '10 at 14:09 |

First, a suggestion: set "overflow" to "hidden" -- it will get rid of a small animation artifact. |
Interesting, the hover effect happens in ie6.... =) |
Ok so I've found something that will help: try setting |
#menu { |
yeah, it's not pretty, but it will show you something; mouse over "home", and you see the "Home Page" thing animate out all nice...at the very bottom of your menu. It looks like You have two problems: overflow and positioning. |
To highlight the overflow problem, set |
#menu { |
#home-hover { |
(again, these values are just for debugging purposes). |
Mouse over the "home" icon, and you will see the problem. |
You can fix this (I found by trial and error) by removing the "position:fixed" from #menu, and changing the "z-index"s on all your #home-hover etc. to 1000. |
So that's a fair start for you. |
Frankly, though, it might be worth while to start over -- it looks like some of this css could benefit from some serious refactoring. |
All the best, |

When you mouse-over the left-menu you are showing a DIV that covers the link, thus you are no longer over the link, you're over the DIV that's on top of it, so the animation goes to the un-hover state immediately. |

The DIV is displayed to the right of the link. In IE the animation doesn't show at all (it would at least start to show if the above was the case). In Safari it shows the first time and then only half shows the rest. In Opera it shows, then only goes partially away until you hover over another part. – silent1mezzo Apr... |

Leopards may drag their prey 50 feet (15 meters) up a tree to protect it from large scavengers like lions. |

Leopard Predation |
Think about the last time you dangled a toy in front of your house cat. You can easily goad one into "hunting" a piece of string and witness its stalk-and-pounce maneuvers. Once the feline spots the moving string, it immediately crouches down toward the floor, eager to catch its newfound prey. If the string is too far ... |
While a cheetah will chase down its dinner, leopard predation involves a similar stalk-and-pounce pattern as the house cat uses, taking its prey by surprise. This sneak-attack style allows a leopard to strike large prey, such as giraffes, antelope and apes. Its offensive arsenal begins with its coat. Not only is the le... |
Like their domesticated relatives, leopards are also nimble climbers. Their proportionally large paws and claws provide them with the best climbing tools among the big cats. As nocturnal animals, many leopards prefer arboreal hangouts during the day, lounging on a shady branch when the sun's up. These elevated resting ... |
Because they mostly hunt after dark, leopards rely heavily on their keen nocturnal eyesight and hearing. To locate prey in the dark, leopards have circular pupils that dilate more than the human eye can [source: NOVA]. Their eyes also contain a specialized membrane called the tapetum that reflects the light that passes... |
To get an idea of a leopard's strength, consider these stats. When pressed, leopards can run up to 36 mph (58 kph), leap 20 feet (6 meters) in one bound and jump 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground [source: San Diego Zoo]. Researchers have witnessed these camouflaged leopards edge toward their prey with a slow, deliberat... |
Once in position, the leopard leaps at its prey with claws outstretched. When assaulting a larger animal, the big cat will bite the throat to suffocate the prey [source: Kruger National Park]. After a successful hunt, a leopard may haul its victim up a tree branch 50 feet (15 meters) above the ground to keep it safe ag... |
With eyes, ears, coat and muscles all adapted for hunting in the wild, it's surprising to learn that leopards don't have a highly successful kill rate. Observational evidence indicates that daytime hunting is rarely effective, and they slay medium-size animals less than 25 percent of the time [source: Sunquist and Sunq... |

Battery charging via Solar pannel |
1. Hey guys, I recently conducted an experiment which involved charging a battery via a PV module and also logging the I and V values to calculate conversion efficiencies. I also logged the I and V values from two other circuits with a fixed resistance. I understand that every irradiation has a Maximum Power Point (M... |

No, but depending on the battery type the terminal voltage and so the current availabel from the PV will change as it charges. |
For everythign you want to know about batteries see here |
4. I've looked through that but I still don't understand what is actually happening. |
5. As long as the PV output voltage is higher than the battery it will charge the battery. When the PV output drops, the battery will drain through the PV circuit. Many sailors have woken up to find drained batteries from either leaving their solar charger on at night or not installing diodes to keep the current flow... |
Are you certain that durring the low irradiance test the battery was not what you measured for power conversion? |
6. The forward voltage drop of a diode is roughly 0.6 volts, and is roughly 3 times the emitter-collector drop of a saturated PNP transistor, so using a simple regulator comprised of a simple control circuit and a PNP pass transistor on the + side of the charging voltage is better. |
