Hurricane Sandy – According to forecasting firm Eqicat, Hurricane Sandy caused somewhere between $30 to $50 billion worth of damage in the United States. On a local level, Garden City got slammed pretty hard by the storm not only losing power throughout the village for an extended period of time, but losing approximately 575 trees, (72 percent of which were oaks according to Tanners Pond Environmental Center head Rob Alvey), as well as spending $4.5 million for clean-up efforts of which approximately 87.5 percent will be refunded by the federal and state governments.
School Budget Passes – At a time when school districts around New York State are trying to pass budgets that stay within a state-mandated two percent cap, the Village of Garden City got its 2012-2013 school budget passed by a margin of 1,820-1,044. The passage of the proposed $104,215,528 budget was an increase of $3,098,470, a 3.06 percent increased over its 2011-12 predecessor. Cost control efforts that included a renegotiation of the Garden City Teachers Association (GCTA) contract that represented an overall savings of approximately $675,000 for the 2012-13 school year, staff minimization and the district's continued membership in a number of purchasing consortiums helped bring the proposed budget number down. Along the way, class size guidelines were maintained, special programs were retained and no buildings closed. The May announcement of the school budget passing coincided with U.S. News and World Report recently ranking Garden City High School 138 nationally, a gain of 60 places since 2010.
Results Of Fire Department Analytic Report Sparks Outrage – When the village board of trustees paid $36,000 to commission International City/County Management Association (ICMA) in 2011 to analyze procedures and performance of the Garden City Fire Department, it was with the idea of achieving better efficiency and saving taxpayers money. As one of only two combination departments comprised of both career and volunteer firefighters, (Long Beach is the other municipality), the GCFD has a unique set-up not shared by most companies on Long Island. As part of its ICMA's ruling on the structure, it found that the department oftentimes operated as if two separate entities versus one to the detriment of the community.
The other outcome of this survey was a set of 14 recommendations, ranging from the suggested increase of the number of structural/interior certified volunteer firefighters and enforcement of the false alarm ordinance to reduce unnecessary calls for service to developing written policies and procedures for volunteers responding to incident scenes, with appropriate records for accountability. But the two that stirred up the most opposition were the elimination of staff at satellite stations located on Edgemere Road and Clinton Road during evening hours and the changing of dispatch to Firecom as a means of reducing response times.
The reaction was unsurprisingly one of concern and fear that shuttering these satellite stations would actually increase response time while anecdotes about the inefficiency of Firecom started popping up at village board meetings. With numerous retired and active firefighters making a point of showing up to weigh in overwhelmingly against this particular mandate during the public comment portion of the trustees meeting, the debate has carried over to the new year.
St. Paul's School – As has been the case since it was shut down in 1991, the fate of St. Paul's remains controversial. The first St. Paul's incident came early in the year when the village board of trustees signed off on repairs to damage done to the historic building's clock tower and roof by Hurricane Irene in 2011. Following an offer by Bob and Patricia Kaliban to donate $11,300 in December 2011 that found the board being blocked from voting on accepting the money due to a procedural technicality, the board voted to accept $6,500 pledged by the Kalibans towards building materials to be used by Old World Quality Corp. owner Vincent Muldoon, who was donating pro bono labor. The agreement came with numerous stipulations including no conditions and/or restrictions being attached to the gift, the village not being responsible to supply funds should the amount be insufficient and that the Kalibans and Muldoon would get no restitution should the clock tower end up getting demolished.
The second dust-up came when Mayor Don Brudie was accused by Trustee Dennis Donnelly of recommending that a $10,000 donation by Kiehl's Since 1851 be directed to the Committee to Save St Paul's (CSSP) without consulting village counsel or the board of trustees. The mayor denied this assertion during a contentious April 19 board of trustees meeting.
While any disagreements over St. Paul's lay dormant for the next few months, further dissension over the issue arose during the last village trustees village trustees meeting of the year that was held on Thursday, Dec. 20. This was where the results of a report commissioned by the village to review an $8.2 million proposal submitted by CSSP were revealed. Don Erwin, principal in the architecture/engineering firm of Erwin & Bielinksi, conducted the study and drew up the report that found the commission's proposal and estimate falling short on a number of levels. Safety flaws and code violations were the main problems with restoring St. Paul's, although E&B offered a number of options that ranged in cost from $17.2 million to roughly $100 million. Trustee Brian Daughney proposed accepting the report's results and rejecting the CSSP plan with himself and fellow trustees Donnelly, Laurence Quinn, Nicholas Episcopia and John DeMaro voting affirmatively while Mayor Brudie and Deputy Mayor John Watras and Trustee Andrew Cavanaugh cast negative votes.
Acrimony On The Board – The disagreements on the village board of trustees went beyond St. Paul's when Mayor Donald Brudie was challenged over his annual committee appointments. When Brudie announced his appointments during the Monday, April 2, organizational meeting, a comment by Trustee Episcopia regarding the spreading out of various committee chairmanships, sparked some sharp discourse between him and the mayor. A subsequent vote to ratify Mayor Brudie's appointments were voted down by a 5-2 vote, with trustees Watras and Cavanaugh voting yes, the mayor abstaining and trustees Episcopia, Dennis Donelly, Laurence Quinn, Brian Daughney and John DeMaro opposing. These differences carried over to the subsequent village board meeting held on Thursday, April 19 when the mayor read a statement clarifying that the mayor solely appointments trustees to various committee assignments who he believes will operate in the best interest of the village. Trustee Donnelly made a counter-proposal that would suspend the mayor's appointments and offer a slightly altered version of the mayor's original assignments. The measure passed by a vote of 5-3, with trustees Donnelly, Quinn, DeMaro, Daughney and Episcopia voting for approval and Mayor Brudie and trustees Cavanaugh and Watras voting against it.

It's a cute little 'bug.' What it represents, however, is anything but cute.
An unusual-looking Volkswagen is toodling around Long Island this month. Painted to resemble the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), the VW Beetle is part of efforts by the US Department of Agriculture to eliminate the pest, which can destroy 70 percent of an area's tree canopy, according to the agency. Initially, officials held hope for complete eradication from about 23 square miles of the Island designated as infested or at risk by 2016. Instead, this "landcape-altering pest" is spreading.

Primate Priorities
Posted by midiguru on April 1, 2012
This week my eye doctor told me I'm starting to develop cataracts. My hearing is getting a little less acute too. For a 63-year-old I'm still very, very healthy, but time is starting to catch up with me.
My career has been devoted mainly to helping other musicians. That was the mission at Keyboard, where I worked as an editor and staff writer for more than 25 years. Since being laid off ten years ago, I've written four books on music topics, plus a couple of hundred more magazine articles. I've also been teaching cello privately.
All this has been very rewarding. But in whatever time remains to me, I think I would like to concentrate on my own music, thank you very much. I think I've done enough to help others — this is my time.
Our ancestors evolved as social creatures. They lived in small, roving bands. Being part of the group was vital. If you wandered off on your own too liberally, your genes tended not to be passed on to the next generation. Today, we all actively seek social approval, and that's why. Not being part of the group induces anxiety.
I've identified three factors that are keys to my music-making. I need to have creative input, I need a commitment to excellence, and I need some sort of social approval for the activity — some form of social feedback that keys into my instinctive need to feel that I'm part of the group.
Recently I've been playing in my local community orchestra. This gives me a very adequate level of social support. I'm part of a large group, we get applause, and because I'm the principal cellist I actually get a small paycheck too. Unfortunately, my creative input is approximately zero, and I would have to say that the orchestra's commitment to excellence is marginal at best. I could give you some graphic descriptions of occasions on which excellence has not been demonstrated, but out of respect for your delicate sensibilities, I will refrain.
What I'd really like to be doing, with whatever years remain to me, is sitting here at my computer, composing and recording my own music. I have a suite of amazing, exciting tools with which to do this, and I'm proficient in the use of the tools. I have plenty of musical ideas and a high level of understanding of music theory.
This activity would be very creative, and my commitment to excellence is whatever I choose to make it. (Usually it's very high.) The difficulty, and it's an enormous difficulty, is that this is an activity that provides no social support whatever. When I'm doing it, there's nobody else in the room — and when I finish a new piece, nobody cares. Sure, I can put it up on my website, but my website gets no traffic. Nobody will ever hear the music. When I die, it will be just some files on my hard drive, and the hard drive will be hauled off to the electronic recycling center and that will be the end of it.
As a practical matter, my awareness of my isolation produces waves of sadness and loneliness. I end up not producing much music, and it's because I'm keenly aware that nobody cares. I might as well turn on the TV. If I put hours, days, weeks, months, years of creative effort into creating new music, there will be no applause. I will never get a check in the mail. I will never have anybody patting me on the back and saying, "We appreciate your hard work."
Please don't tell me about online self-promotion. I know all about that. Online self-promotion is, in an emotional sense, a way of courting enormous amounts of rejection. You send out emails, you send out demos — and 98% of the time, nobody cares. I don't have nearly enough emotional stamina to put myself through that wringer.
What I want to do is what I've always done: I create the content, and somebody else promotes and distributes it. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to find or create a setting in which I can do that with my own music. So I end up playing in a second-rate community orchestra, because that's where the social support is. What a fucking waste.
One Response to "Primate Priorities"
June 1, 2012 at 4:36 pm
I've read many of your pieces in magazines and always found them interesting and helpful. So I'm sorry to hear that you won't be doing that any more.
I think I have some idea of how you feel about finding an outlet for your music. I've had the same thoughts about my music as well as about a large collection of what are now historically relevant photographs that I've accumulated. Your comment, "Nobody will ever hear the music. When I die, it will be just some files on my hard drive, and the hard drive will be hauled off to the electronic recycling center and that will be the end of it," is genuinely sad, really sad. It certainly resonates here. But isn't it simply how life is? Everything is transient. In a few dozen years nobody will even know we were here. I often think about that. Possibly, as a result, I've been learning to let go of the idea that "me" and "my work" are terribly important. These days, when I get out of bed I ask myself "What do I feel like doing today?" And that's been incredibly liberating.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with your readers.

Book Description:
Little is known of Villard de Honnecourt, apart from the fact that his Sketchbook is one of the most treasured documents in art history. Active in the early part of the thirteenth century, the French artist produced remarkably accurate representations of diverse subjects that interested him: religious figures; insects, birds, dogs, and humans; architecture, including details from the cathedrals at Chartres, Rheims, and Laon; church furnishings; and mechanical devices. His technique--for the period--was fairly complex, especially when drawing the contours of draped clothing.The artist's charming, annotated sketches reveal a knowledge of architecture, sculpture, carpentry, and masonry; and his comments reflect a keen and perceptive eye, whether depicting a monumental clock tower or describing a perpetual motion machine.Comparable to da Vinci's notebooks for their historical importance, the drawings from Honnecourt's portfolio are reproduced here in their entirety, complete with authoritative translations of the artist's words, annotations, and editor's commentary.

I thought it would be fun to research LUXURY pet accommodations, from the outrageous to the sublime… and what I mostly found was a lot of places call themselves luxury dog care when they clearly are not. Kuranda beds and cots do NOT make pampered pets feel spoiled. Just having comfy sofas do not either. Most places charge between $20 and 50 a night. There is a pet hotel in Las Vegas that charges $70 a night but does not look like its services and accommodations are worth the extra expense. Charging people that much, the place should be truly spectacular, in my humble opinion. A veritable Doggie Palace fit for royalty. People don't want to pay extra unless there is glitz, bling bling and glamour involved, people. Just to say that your dog or cat stayed in a pet hotel in Las Vegas, is that worth the additional cost?
Here are a couple of places that actually live up to the name luxurious and do not charge exorbitantly for the privilege.
And if you are interested in starting your own doggie daycare business, here are a few pointers.

ROCKmagneten / MVRDV & COBE
The MVRDV and COBE scheme for the transformation of a former concrete factory into a multifunctional creative hub was chosen as the winner of an international design competition. The masterplan proposes an informal transformation of the 45.000m2 site into a dense neighborhood, incl. 8.000m2 existing factory halls, organized around a plaza for events. Three new volumes will be added on top of the halls: The 11.000m2 ROCKmagneten consists of The Danish Rock Museum, The Roskilde Festival Folkschool incl. student housing, and the headquarters of the famous Roskilde Rock Festival. They share program in a public creative communal house. The museum with a total of 3.000m2 will be completed as the first phase in 2014. More images and architects' description after the break.
Architecture City Guide: Madrid
This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to Madrid. As the third largest city in the European Union, Madrid is the economic and political capital of Spain. The streets and neighborhoods for the most part remains historic, but the city is punctuated with moments of engaging and interesting contemporary architecture. For those who have followed our city guides, you will have noticed that this is our second stop in Spain. That said, Madrid is distinctly different from Barcelona. The differences between the two are manifested in their architecture, both old and new. Our lists only cover relatively recent projects, but a quick glance at the two will give you a sense of the differing cultures and lifestyles (Barcelona's City Guide). Both lists are far from complete and we are looking to add to them in the near future. In the meantime add more of your favorites to the comment section below.
To check out other cities visit our world map or our Architecture City Guide page.

Architecture City Guide: Amsterdam
This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to Amsterdam. With its numerous canals, Renaissance architecture, and bike friendly culture, it is hard not to fall in love with Amsterdam. Also, if you love modern or contemporary architecture one could hardly argue against making this city the first stop on a tour of Europe. Our list of 24 buildings hardly does justice to this amazing city, but it will certainly give those less familiar with the city a starting point. We will be adding to our list in the near future, as we didn't come close to incorporating all our readers' suggestions. In the meantime add more of your favorites to the comment section below.

Urban Farming in numbers
Interesting study by MVRDV, The Why Factory and Stroom Den Haag.
A lot has been said (through) on Urban Farming, but many don't consider their feasibility.
I´m not being pessimist (I grow some of my own vegetables and herbs), but I think that urban farming goes more in the direction of the last phrase of the video: "could it (urban farming) help bringing some agriculture into the cities to bring us closer to our food again?".

MVRDV exhibits "China Hills: A vision of future cities"
Saturday 28th of November the Beijing Centre for the Arts opened the exhibition "Green Projects II, Three Dimensional City: Future China" featuring work of Paolo Soleri and MVRDV. The centre piece is an installation by MVRDV, "China Hills": a scale model of a future Chinese city which offers alternatives to the current urbanization in China.
On a hypothetical site of 1x1x0.5 km the plan offers space to accommodate up to 100,000 inhabitants and a well balanced mix of urban program and nature, agriculture and energy production; all in the shape of a Chinese mountain landscape: realizable with today's technologies. The exhibition is open until February 28th 2010.

Middle Ages[edit]
The phrase "no anointment" puzzles me: does it refer to lubrication of the machinery, or to 'oiling' the torsion device to prevent - or minimise - the effects of damp which would otherwise reduce the efficiency of the balista? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawright12 (talk • contribs) 12:14, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
A lubricant/coolant is needed at higher tensions. This is especially true with wood which can become much more abrasive when exposed to heat. The problem with adding the lubricant/coolant (often either water or oil.. but not both) is that some of the material will expand (and later shrink. The expansion requires more monitoring and adjusting. It also causes dual axis accuracy problems. I don't have a source for this other than personal experience and discussions with other hobbyists. KadaganX (talk) 15:30, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
How can a Latin word claim to derive from a Latin one?
- It can, how did WiFi come from Wireless Fiberoptic?
- ITYM "Italian" on the second one, and yes, it doesn't make sense. Dictionary.com gives the etymology as Greek via Latin, so I've updated the article accordingly. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 04:47, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Lee Tru. 01:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Human Hair[edit]
Can someone give a reference to the use of human hair in ballista ropes? It seems unlikely to me. --Carnildo 08:37, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Since no one has obliged, I've edited out all mention of human hair for now. --Simetrical 01:39, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It is mentioned in Salammbô (novel) by Gustave Flaubert. Wandalstouring 19:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Human Hair[edit]
I have heard that the ropes use sinews and horse hair, but in a pinch they would use human hair.
i've heard that the hair of blonde women was favoured, but that it was useless when it got wet or humid.
- I can confirm that wet rendered the torsion system less usefull. therefore it was oiled and protected.
blonde could refer to the length and not to the colour. Germanic women were very proud of their long hair, being part of their sex appeal. And like all Germans in these times invested a lot of time in taking care of their hair.
Wandalstouring 19:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Longbow more powerful than a ballista?[edit]
"as the .. Longbow, and eventually the Crossbow (learned from the Chinese) were more accurate and powerful"
According to what definition of "powerful" can a longbow outclass a ballista? I suggest to change that paragraph into
"as the Trebuchet and Mangonel were more powerful, while the Longbow, and eventually the Crossbow (learned from the Chinese) were more accurate."
Actually, none of these weapons had the same level of precision of the ballistae. These ancient weapons were the most precise type of catapult ever made and the most sophisticated too. It is impossible to compared the precision of catapults with bows, because bows were operated by hand. Also, it is impossible to say that some type of catapult was more powerful than others.RafaelG
-Removed "(learned from the Chinese)", since no reference is given for this statement, which is dubious since the Romans had a crossbow (the arcuballista) and the Arabs called crossbows "Frankish" bows, suggesting it is more likely the weapon was passed to Western Europe from the Romans rather than the Chinese.
Perhaps "powerful" refers (was meant to refer) to the speed of the projectile shot. But I agree, that it doesn't seem practical to compare "power" of weapons with several magnitudes difference in between the projectiles used. (Is it like to compare a machinegun to a SCUD?)188.8.131.52 (talk) 09:53, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Last use in combat?[edit]
Would anyone know the last time a ballista was used in combat? 220.127.116.11 03:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Look up the history of the byzantine Empire. Wandalstouring 19:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
composite bow[edit]
Gastraphetes means belly bow what does it have to do with a composite bow and how does a crossbow develop from a composite bow? Every other wiki says Gastraphetes were an early version of crossbows. Wandalstouring 19:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Size of a ballista[edit]
Main source about siege engines and ballistas: http://members.lycos.nl/onager/history.html
The small versions were called Scorpions: http://members.lycos.nl/onager/scorpio.html http://220.127.116.11/Siege/CatapultaPhotos/Catapulta.htm
Gastrophates: http://members.lycos.nl/onager/gastrophetes.html
The ballista and especially the Cheiroballista were developed into small all-metall versions, a development compareable to the Medieval crossbow.
Wandalstouring 19:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
They made a lot of improvements, and around 400 b.C., they came up with the Gastrophetes. This was a big step forward in siege engineering, since the gastrophetes (or "bellybow") could lauch an arrow further and with more power than an ordinary bow. It couldn't, however, be used for sieges against towns, since a stone wall wouldn't break down because of a little arrow. http://members.lycos.nl/onager/history.html
-> Gastrophetes is no siege engine and all that stuff about not being able to handle this weapon is nonsense.
The real siege engine was called oxybeles http://members.lycos.nl/onager/oxybeles.html

the two merge requests[edit]
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
The result was no merger. -- G1ggy Talk/Contribs 09:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC) i am all for these mergers, their article are both short and under developed and they are both pretty clearly deeply related to the balista and would serve the community better by being in this article then having them stand by themselves. on top of that with the cheiroballistra there is already a section about it in this article, which covers nearly all of the same points as it's stand alone article--Manwithbrisk 16:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- No merger - these are separate weapons and should have their own articles {{{Keep and Expand}}}. Headphonos 23:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- then expand on them, but leaving them as vestigial articles only begs two responces, merge, or delete--Manwithbrisk 06:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Broken (?) Link[edit]
Under "The cheiroballistra/Manuballista": the external link returns a "403 Forbidden" error.
Basesurge (talk) 09:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
The Missing Link[edit]
Please note, the link for "skeins" only goes to a disambiguation that has no relevant link from there. I would dearly love to know what a skein is in this context so perhaps someone would kindly put a bracketted sub explanation next to the actual word in the opening paragraph or better still, make a whole new entry for it in the encyclopedia and fix a link to it. Kindest regards to all Outofthewoods (talk) 23:30, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
+1: I would like to add my one to this request. "Skeins" links to a very generic axplanation of any kind of fibres curled up in loops or something similar, it applies mostly to knitting yarn. I understand, that in case of ballistae some kind of animal, or herbal fibre could be used in some kind of string, or rope that could be twisted and then spring back when released, but some more technical details would be definitely wellcome.18.104.22.168 (talk) 10:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Longbows as sniper weapons[edit]
At the bottem of the page, it says that the ballista was replaced with crossbows and longbows as sniper weapons. First off, I am fairly certain that longbows were primarily used in only a few countries. Additionally, I know for a fact that medeival archers fired as a unit, while targeting other units, not as individual men firing at other men. I belive the same can be said for men using crossbows, but I am not completely sure.---Obolisk0430 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obolisk0430 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
- The crossbow was more of a sniper weapon than the longbow due to the fact that a long bow had to be fired right after drawing and the crossbow could not and the crossbow was more powerful.-- Lee Tru. 01:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
You seem to have blocked people because they vandalised thus talk page. User zchad also did this yesterday — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Lack of In-Line Citations[edit]
In my opinion, there should be more in-text citations. Past the opening/overview paragraph, there are only one or two citations, and it is unclear where the information is originating from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TriesToFixGrammar (talk • contribs) 03:46, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Ballistae vs ballistas[edit]
In the heading section it is said that the plural form is "ballistas" while in the text, we can see "roman ballistae". Now which one of them is correct? As far as I know, if the word is of Latin origin, the plural should be ballistae, and maybe, with an accepted form (especially in US) of ballistas (MS Word gives me ballistae). But English is not my first language so I'm not in a position to correct this. Apass 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:24, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ballistae is the proper Latin plural form however (sadly) that is becoming more and more un-importaint.-- Lee Tru. 01:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- But still a decisive point, it is a Latin word after all and the Latin plural is generally still used for this word and others describing Roman things. I !vote to continue with "ballistae". Richard Keatinge (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
