Destroy the Village

I just indulged in a physics game that I found on http://www.physicsgames.net/

Seeing as this was a flash game I don't want to be overcritical of the graphics and audio. The graphics were not in a very aesthetic fashion, but the music was decent. Anyways...

The main premise of the game is to control a rocket and try to murder the townspeople littering different structures. There are unlockable rockets, though most are generally just better than the previous so it's more of a strange level up system. The actual gameplay was very nice, though. Seeing as while there was the conventional blow up the rocket next to the person method, you could also cause projectile deaths, nudge people off cliffs, or crush them with debris. A lot of this requiring very complex maneuvering to get the flashiest kill.

I found it worthy of my 10 minutes.

Exponents and Imaginary Numbers

I made this flowchart as a means of handling the different exponents that could be on (i). Just fill in for (x) and follow the flowchart to get your answer.

When should I go to bed?

Seeing as it is the end of the weekend I would love a believable excuse for staying up later than usual even though I still have to wake up at 8:00. So I let math convince me. This series of functions I formulated will let you deduce when you should go to bed:

First you will have to convert the time you woke up and the time you will be waking up tomorrow into a different format:

F(v,u) = 60v + u
Where: v = hours (military), u = minutes

I woke up at 2:30 so that equals 870 and I plan on waking up at 8, which equals 480. Now you will have to figure out what the time to go to sleep will be in the same format:

G(w,x) = x - [(1440-w+x)/3]
Where: w = time you woke up (converted), x = time to wake up (converted)

1440 - 870 + 480 = 1050
1050/3 = 350
480-350 = 130, which is the time I will be going to bed

H(y) = └y/60┘ , y - (└y/60┘ * 60)
Where: y = time to go to sleep (converted)

My answer would be: 2 , 10
The time I'm going to bed. :D

Btw: └3.23┘ = 3
It just removes the decimal place/fraction.

Restaurant Review: Gallo's

I had a wonderful time at Gallo's today, however this was not at all due to the restaurant that was picked, but rather by the company in which it was with.


(Note: Ratings are with an average of 5, 10 being the best)

Service: 4.3
The service was for the most part very average. Although, my water was only refilled once (at the end), and I had found a bone within my Chicken Taco. Quick and prompt, however that may be because there was nobody else to serve.

Delectables: 3.6
I ordered nothing more complex than a meal with two tacos. I had gotten beans, which were heavily congealed and looked as if they were squeezed out of a tube, as well as some undercooked rice alongside my main entree. The tacos were very simple, broke easily, and one had a freaking bone in it. Repulsive. I know I already took away points for that but it ruined the feeling of both qualities. Furthermore, far too much money for being a less successful, more pretentious Taco Bell.

Atmosphere: 3
I'm not really a fan of the whole Mexican theme, so the fact that there was _no music at all_ wasn't extremely disappointing. Just regular disappointing. Across from the (very angular) booth I was sitting at there was a design on the wall. The art was lackluster, boasting a couple large sun and  moon crafts, as well as a plethora of little suns. One of them was broken. There was no flow within the colours, not having any sense of refinement within colour psychology. Oh, and nobody else was there.

Six Day Powerlifting Routine

I've established a unique routine for myself and those that I train that is somewhat similar to Westside Barbell's method of weight training. The routine that I run's main focus is to build strength in all muscle fiber types as well as cardiovascular fitness, not muscle-mass:

Standard Rep Scheme: (harder) 3x12 or 4x8 or 5x5 or 6x4 or 8x3 (easier)

ME = Max Effort
DE = Dynamic Effort

Sunday: Deadlift ME/Back day
Main: Deadlift, work up to one-rep max
Secondary: Pullups, endurance exercise: focus on increasing number of reps in a standard set scheme
Compound: Barbell rows, standard
Isolated: Shrugs, 3x20
Isolated: Rear Delt Flies, standard

Monday: Bench ME/Chest day
Main: Bench, work up to one-rep max
Secondary: Dips, endurance exercise: focus on increasing number of reps in a standard set scheme
Compound: DB Bench, Standard
Isolated: Front Raises, Standard
Isolated: Skullcrushers, Standard

Tuesday: Squat ME/Leg day
Main: ATG Squat, work up to one-rep max
Secondary: Squat, Standard
Compound: SLDL, Standard
Treadmill: 20 mins

Wendesday: Accessory Day
During this day you work out any weaknesses you may have noticed alongside some sort of overhead pressing movement and some grip exercises.

Thursday: Bench DE/Upper Body day
Main Chest: Bench, 60% of max for 8 sets of 3
Main Back: Pullups, endurance
Secondary Chest: Dips, endurance
Secondary Back: BB Rows, standard
Compound Chest: DB Bench, standard
Compound Back: Bodyweight rows

Friday: Squat DE/ Leg day
Main: ATG Squat, 60% of max for 8 sets of 3
Secondary: Squat, Standard
Compound: SLDL, Standard
Treadmill: 20 mins

Saturday: Off


My stats:
Bench: 305, 6x4
Squat: 370, 5x5
Deadlift: 505

Movie: The King's Speech

(Note: Ratings are with an average of 5, 10 being the best)

Plot: 7.3/10 
Definitely above average however not substantially so. While the plot did not have any psychologically moving concepts or contraptions, it did, however, boast a wonderful link to the past, allowing us to delve within the world of King George VI in an involving manner. Not only does the film depict the more historically relevant topics ... such as the speech ... it also does well to illustrate the behavior and personality of the king in a more personal guise. Overall the plot sufficed to hold attention.


Music: 4.2/10
Aside from a few classical pieces there were not many musically driven segments. The music was all appealing to my taste in particular, but I seeing how arbitrary that is in nature I will try to stray from bias and simply state that the music was not expertly placed nor awe-inspiring.

Special Effects: --
If there were any, I don't recall them.


Acting: 5.8/10
The acting was well, especially on the part of Geoffrey Rush. While the acting didn't provide much spectator dissension and flowed nicely throughout the film, the cast was not so impressive as to make it noteworthy or to designate it as greatly superior to some of it's peer films.

Dialogue: 8.2/10
Awesome. The dialogue was awesome. Parts of the dialogue was taken from historical speeches, adding a great deal of rapport between the audience and the time setting in which the movie takes place. In addition to this there were many clever exchanges between Lionel Logue and King George VI that could stimulate one's brain in socially complex ways.

Cinematography: 5/10
I didn't sense much refinement in the camera usage, though all of the basic elements of cinematography were clearly present. I'm going to give this a dead average rating because it was so average I really haven't anything noteworthy to present.

Mental/Action
Serious/Funny
Heavy: 5 (4) 3 2 1 :Light

Kakuro Puzzles

I've always been a fanatic of puzzles and riddles, and eventually that led me to discover Kakuro. I enjoy Kakuro due to the mathematical and logical synergetic nature. I also enjoy the sense of superiority when I compare it to a popular yet very simple puzzle, Sudoku ... which Mindona does. ;D

This is an example of an easy Kakuro puzzle. The objective is to saturate the grid with the numbers 1-9 while making certain that you do not use the same number twice in a given row or column and that all the numbers within a given row or column add up to the given total. Now look at the upper left where you see two rows both with three square. The only way to fit three integers into six is by using the smallest available (1, 2, 3) and to fit three in seven you substitute the three for a four (1, 2, 4). Next, we'll look at the column that calls for two numbers that add up to 4, which will be 1 and 3. Seeing as 7 cannot host a 3, we can tell that a 1 will go in the top box and a 3 will go in the bottom box. Rinse and repeat until solved.

While ones like these are excellent for beginners, do not fear that the difficulty caps off here. There are many puzzles which will require you to look numerous steps ahead in order to deduce which numbers should go where.

I generally do these while eating breakfast and during any periods in which I find myself doing nothing else productive ... such as waiting for Mindona to finish up in the locker room. ;P

Hello, World!
