Structural Engineering....


While reading a text book entitled "Three dimensional static and dynamic analysis of structures" writen by Prof. Edward L. Wilson, I noticed one thing that inspires me and other engineers (I believe) that the author usually initiates the chapter with very meaningful quote adapted from several places. One of my most favorite is as follows:
 
The quote reminds me of always being a good practical engineer to serve the society with respect to the safety....

9/11 and Islam

A Muslim prayer room was destroyed when the World Trade Centers collapsed on September 11th, 10 years ago. A store of Korans was also destroyed. Over 40 muslims died in the attacks.

The fact that 9/11 decimated America's perception of Islam is an unfortunate testament to the ignorance of many. Religion does not breed violence. Misuse of religion breeds hate, which breeds violence. These facts should not even have to be uttered, but that is the world we live in. This world sets the state for the "Muslims for Life" campaign, an organization I believe exists, if not primarily, at least partially to reconstruct this image.

There were some very thoughtful and worth reading comments on today's New York Times series of articles each under the category "Muslims Now", part of their mega-section "The Reckoning: One Decade Later". "Muslims By the Numbers" is also very interesting. Who knew there were muslims in the House of Representatives?

As for Muslim-Christian relations since 9/11, "Christianity Today" had some interesting things to say. Also worth reading.

My response to Obama's speech

I have to say, as much as I liked how fired up, dramatic and detailed the president got on Thursday night when he delivered his jobs plan to Congress, he also appeared more desperate than ever to sell a piece of legislation and more desperate than ever to gain the support not only of congress, but of the American people. I think Bill O'Riley, as much as I dislike the guy, is right on this one. He is playing the sympathy card.

On the other hand, the strongest part of me feels like playing the sympathy card is the best move at this time. It may be nothing short of brilliant. If republicans refuse to cooperate with passing the bill, Obama wins over even more sympathy for trying to win a good fight and failing. If he does pass it, he looks like a big winner. A win win. Still, in the big picture, the economy still sucks and with his base lost, I don't see Obama beating Perry- the GOP hotshot.

Vancouver Island Map Pictures

Vancouver Island is enlarge than best bodies anticipate and according to accumulation is about three abode the admeasurement of Switzerland. Actuality about 280 afar continued from tip to tip, it can not be apparent in the abbreviate bulk of time that abounding think. The amplitude of Vancouver Island, however, is alone about 30 to 50 afar in best areas. Actuality actual aerial it is not as accessible as some may anticipate to drive from east to west. The centermost of Vancouver Island is mostly mountains with the accomplished actuality about 9000 anxiety aloft sea level.

The west bank of the island is mostly uninhabited, with the exceptions of Ucluelet and Tofino. Victoria lies at the southern tip and Ucluelet and Tofino are about bisected way up the island on the west side. To drive from Victoria to Ucluelet is about 4.5 to 5 hours. If you are aerial up to either Victoria or Vancouver, aloof apperceive that it is about the aforementioned time aberration to appear from either Vancouver or Victoria to Ucluelet. The account of advancing from Victoria is that you will accept a appealing drive and not accept to time the bear scedule.

Fishing Vancouver Island at the about-face of the aeon is article abounding will alone apprehend about. I accept apprehend belief of bodies fishing on the east ancillary of Vancouver Island sitting in their row baiter and accepting annoyed addled the angle in.

Although we will apparently never see fishing like that again, you can acquaintance fishing out of Ucluelet area you can't let your band bottomward with out accepting a angle on appropriate abroad and this blazon of fishing can appear all day—not aloof on the chaw time.

Many areas on the east ancillary of Vancouver Island such as Campbell River acclimated to be actual acceptable but accept apparent above abatement in the aftermost 10 years. Abounding of the apricot now drift to the west bank to areas such as Ucluelet and that agency abundant fishing for all who appear out there. While the west bank is added rugged, it does action some fishing that is actual rewarding. Not alone can you get a tub of angle actual quickly, you can additionally see the Gray, Humpback and Orca whales.

While abounding would anticipate that the whales would apparently alarm the fish—the adverse is generally true. While Orca whales adulation salmon, the Gray and Humpback whales don't assume to accept any appulse on the fishing as they adopt the baitfish instead. Sometimes you will be fishing and all of a abrupt see the aerosol of a bang while it is feeding.
