1. An architect has designed a plate glass window that’s in the shape of an equilateral triangle. Each side of the window is 7.5 feet long . If the window is oriented such that the base of the window is parallel to the floor, what is the approximate height of the window?

2. The balloon is on a rope that is 118 yards long and the rope makes a 45 degrees angle with the ground, about how high is the balloon from the ground?

3. The Eiffel Tower has an altitude of 1012 feet and a fountain has an angle of depression that’s 60 degrees. What’s the approximate horizontal distance from the tower to the fountain?

4. A concrete cylinder with a steel core has a height of 18 inches and a length of 6 inches. The steel core has a diameter of 1.5 inches. What is the volume of the steel core and the concrete part of the cylinder.

I love Oblivion. I thought Diablo II was okay but overrated. Will I like Dragon Age Origins?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I’ve been hearing great things about DAO. I was considering picking it up, since no one around me has it available for rent, but I need some honest opinions.

What I love about Oblivion is the free landscape, go anywhere anytime, do anything type of gameplay. The leveling is cool, and the fighting and storyline is decent as well, but I like the way that Oblivion gives you a huge world to explore with so many different options, quests, things to do, and the freedom to tackle quests in any order and however I want to play them.

What I liked about Daiblo II was the idea of randomness- random world map, random equipment properties, stuff like that. What I didn’t like was the overhead perspective and repetitive nature. I had fun, but I was in no way addicted like everyone swore I’d be. After a few hours, I was thinking "My inventory is full. I have to turn around and go back to town to sell all my stuff AGAIN?"

Okay, to the point: I see why Diablo was fun, but to me the overhead perspective and general repetitive nature of hack, slash, go to town to sell my belongings, repeat, wasn’t all that addicting. So seeing what I DID like about an RPG like Oblivion, and what I DIDN’T like about an RPG like Diablo II, can anyone here tell me how Dragon Age Origins compares to each game? Like how its strengths and weaknesses measure up?

I know DAO is an overhead game, and I know there is dungeon crawling. But is there more to it than that? I guess I just need to hear some reviews that don’t just keep saying "It’s this year’s Diablo / Baldur’s Gate / Oblivion". *PS: I never played Baldur’s Gate.*

Thanks for any info. Strengths, weaknesses, I would like to hear it all.

I am looking for grass seed to supplement a sodded lawn that is 2 years old. The soil is sandy and full sun.?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Much of the lawn is growing well. Parts of the lawn are spotty and look bad. I plan to use a slit seeder to apply the grass seed. I am hoping for a hearty seed that can handle the soil type and the full sun. Lawn is located in upper midwest.
