Well after much deliberation between this and a 5d Mark II i decided to opt for the 7D and spend the extra I save on some nice wide angle lenses. First of all for anyone who is expecting a 1.6 crop camera's image quality to be better than the 5d mark ii you can forget it. The 5D mark ii is a full frame sensor camera and the 7D is a crop, different cameras for different purposes. I know three people who own a 5d mark II, wedding photographer, cinematographer and a landscape photographer. As you can tell, they all need wide angle and good low light performance. The 5D Mark II/other full frame cameras are targeted towards users with wide angle needs. So if you find yourself in a crowded room with little light during a wedding the EOS 7D may not be for you, less you put on a 10-22mm EFS lens which is the widest Canon Zoom Lens for a APS-C camera. (Or 8-15 F4L Fisheye).
Image Quality from this camera is amazing, I'll put up some pictures once it stops raining where I live. Detail is very good, and the 28-135 lens accommodates this cameras ability very nicely, however, starting off at 28mm will probably be too long for most people in everyday situations such as those for street photographers. Picking up a 17-55 2.8 lens will probably be highly recommended by many.
Build Quality is superb. This "tank" of a camera is no light weight and one of the first things you notice when you pick up the camera is the hefty feel you get. Very ergonomic grip and a robust feel all around. Don't expect to have it hanging around your next too long though. Weather seals are improved and you can notice that the area above the viewfinder is much larger thanks to a 100% coverage pentaprism.
Autofocusing, now I've read some issues about the 7D's new focusing system such as softness from auto zone focusing and I am also getting some mixed results with that as well, some images ranging from very soft to some being as sharp as single AF select. I will update later as I take it out for more situations. However, with that being said, the camera's autofocusing with the 28-135mm lens is very quiet, very fast and accurate for the most part especially with using the cameras single AF select mode.
Battery Life: still on the first charge off the box, taken about 500 test shots and a few seconds of 720p recording, battery life is about halfway.
ISO performance. Now here is where many have a bone to pick. I am not afraid to use high ISO as my prints rarely go beyond 11x14. More than often I found myself using nothing higher than ISO 1600 on my girlfriend's 500D/T1i. With the 7D I feel very comfortable using 3200 with about ISO 4000 being my cut off point, that's where the trade offs between detail and noise will become apparent and start to bother me.
Overall this camera is a very impressive and I'd give it a rating of about 90/100. It has alot to offer being a HD video DSLR. It'll provide many rebel users enough room to learn and grow. However, I cant stress enough that if you find yourself needing wide angle capabilities and low light performance, saving up for a full frame, it will definitely be worth the wait in the long run. In fact a few 5D Mark I cameras are available for cheaper than the 7D. Without a doubt this is one of the top crop cameras of the market right now. You won't regret buying this camera.
The Canon EOS 7D has some great features on it. One to start with is just the amazing body solidness and style. Everything on this camera feels solid in your hands and very comfortable. Its almost natural when you shoot with it. Great weight, weather sealed, and button finger friendly. The second thing is the LCD screen. I've never seen such great clarity on the back of a DSLR before. The pictures you take look on the camera LCD screen as clear as they do on a 27inch iMac blown up to full screen. Now this camera is not a full Frame camera like its big brother the Canon 5D mark II. But it also is set up a whole hell of a lot better to take video and fast photography. In my opinion this camera is better then the Canon 5D Mark II and cheaper to buy. This is just my opinion I think they are both great cameras but the 5D is more for portraits and the 7D is more for sports or fast movement and video. HD video is amazing on this Camera too. Although it does not have a 3CCD chip it will take the highest quality of video I've ever seen. If you just shoot video I would suggest you know the differences of having a 3CCD chip and not having one.
There are some things I hope can change on this camera starting with video being displayed only though the LCD screen. When in video mode you can only view what the camera sees in real time on the LCD screen AKA (Live View), The viewfinder is blacked out during Live View. The issue with this is its hard to shoot great quality video "IN FOCUS" on a 3 inch LCD screen. You will have a much better chance looking though the viewfinder and seeing the focus points. Most people will use the ViewFinder on camcorders and SLR cameras to take the best video/picture. The Canon 7D however does not have this option Once in Video mode or Live View mode for pictures you lose Viewfinder. Please don't think its the end of the world because of this. There are some companies out there like "Zacuto" that have made attachments and accessories such as the "Z-Finder Pro 3x", an attachment that slaps on the back of the LCD screen to give you a more traditional viewfinder feel and sight while in video mode that works very well for correct focal points. The second major issue is Audio is shooting video is your thing. Audio is what makes videos. What would a movie be without sound? The Canon 7D has a built in mic, and for the most part it sounds good for youtube videos if someones very close to the mic. But there is no Manual Adjustment on sound control. There is yet to be any indication of Canon releasing a firmware update for this too. There is also no sound meter so your never sure if its even recording sound unless you take a test clip before you shoot your real clip. This however can always be fixed with a sound systems. You can purchase one separately from a 3rd party company. The nice feature about the Canon 7D is the allowing of an external mic to be plugged in.
With all of that said the camera gets a Excellent rating or 5 out of 5 stars if your just using it for pictures However, because it can also take HD video as well as sound we have to factor those into the rating system. Though the video quality is excellent and out surpassing Pro Camcorders the technology is still very young for a DSLR. Sound controls need to be added or controlled from ether externally or internally. Viewfinder needs to become available during video mode. With this being added I give the Canon EOS 7D a Good or 4 1/2 stars out of 5
Great camera!
This is my first digital SLR. I had 3 lenses for this camera already and just got the body.
Excellent camera! It feels solid and rugged yet sophisticated and beautiful. I like that a lot of controls are manual besides menu on a huge LCD. All knobs, buttons and levers are ergonomically and intuitively located. Image quality is superb! 6.1M pixels are enough for printing A4 size quality pictures. Image stabilizer ("Anti-shake") works nicely and it does not require special lens to work like some cameras!
Battery life is not very impressive, so I am going to buy one more. Multi shot is only 3fps, but I'll live with that.
I now stand out from the crowd with everyone having Nikons and Canons…)))
I got this camera about a month ago and I just love it. I use to have a monolta 5d with a had for about 3 years and was a little scared to make the move over to Canon but let me tell you, this company can makes some good stuff. Picture quality is awesome, the focus time is just unbelievable and don't get me started on the HD movie mode ( it's great). shooting in low light is not a problem with the ISO settings on this camera pictures come out nice and the noise level is not as noticeable as my monolta camera. I would highly recommend this camera to anybody looking for a camera that can get the job done.
I bought the Canon 7d with the 28-135 lens. I am happy with this camera it takes good pictures in low light and is easier to use than I thought. I like the on camera flash, just in case. It does have some weight to it but nothing I can't get use to. Using the video feature is easy and I like that I can snap a photo in movie mode. There is some disruption of a split second if you snap a picture in movie mode. This Camera is proving to be a smart purchase. I highly recomend it. Perfect for the professional or an advanced photography student. I think it is a wonder value.

Well you will never guess what happened, (or maybe you will).. when I got home my mom called to let me know my aunt tossed her the book and said "here ya go you need to make you some of these!!
Of course that cracked me up.. So typical of my aunt!!
Thank you,
The first time I saw the Quick Stitch Crochet Book I fell in love with it.
Then when it was 1/2 price last time I decided to get it. I was so impressed at the quality of the book. I was downright surprised. It is a steal and I would buy it again at regular price.
The patterns are varied enough to challenge a and build crochet skills. The patterns are easy to understand. Everything in the book can be used for home, gifts or taken to craft sales. They are unique. They are things that can be completed in short amounts of time. As gifts go, I can give friends and family something more than the traditional dishcloth or hot pad.

All the patterns and supplies are very affordable fits great in my gift giving budget.
I appreciate Maggie for reaching out and including other items on the site besides just your personal patterns.
(Which I will write reviews on later.) At $9.95 sale price I am going to get several for gifts this year. I do not believe a gift of this quality for $10 is available anywhere. I have some secret friend functions during the Holidays and there is a $10 limit. It is no longer hard to find a great gift for 10 bucks on your site. I have even purchased some of your patterns and bought the material for the person to make it. Your free patterns have made great gifts because I can afford to purchase the material as part of the gift also.
Thank you for your American business spirit!! God Bless and keep you and yours.

windows or not / bowl typ sinks OMG
shoiuld a bathroom have a windsow . Hubby says no I say yes ..
those Bowls they have now are ugly IMHP . what do yall think
I think it is always desirable to have a window in every room, why not the bathroom?
I don't what bowl you are referring to in your comment?
You posted this same question about 2 weeks ago (5/12).
Is there a reason you are asking again?
Didn't read your post right, you meant window not windowsill...sorry!
If the bath is on an exterior wall than of course it should have a window, no question about that. I think it's even code where I live.
As far as vessel sinks, I think some are pretty but would rather have one smooth surface for ease of cleaning.This message has been edited. Last edited by: zone9alady,
Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford
Yes, I want a window in every room. Sometimes interior bathrooms are unable to have a window but let's hope they have a good ventilation system.
As far as the vessel sinks being ugly, obviously you haven't done much looking at them. They come in every material, color and shape imaginable. Yes some of them ARE ugly, but many of them are works of art.
Like this one:
Carved Marble vessels style sink
As you can see, in this case, there was room on the top for more than the sink.
Natural Stone Info & Advice
Window in bathroom(s) - preferable. IMHO so much better for putting on makeup. I have one bathroom with windows, one without. I put my makeup on in the bathroom with windows.
You either like vessel sinks, or you don't. I don't. My brother-in-law insisted on granite countertop and two vessel sinks in their tiny apartment bathroom. They are never in there together and the counter space would've been preferable to sister-in-law.
Does this hat make my butt look big?
I normally don't care much for vessels style sinks either, for two reasons: First, most of what is out there is garbage; second, I agree that when you need the counter space, vessels style sinks are a poor choice.
What I mean by garbage is that most vessels style sinks completely miss the point. They are supposed to be sculptural items - functional art. It's a style of sink that just becomes ridiculous and ugly when interpreted for mass market.
The idea of mounting a sink above the top is to display a SCULPTURE - one you happen to be able to wash your hands in. You're supposed to feel something special about seeing and using such an item.
Almost all the vessels style sinks any of us will ever see, will never even come close, to being a sculptural item.
If it's not a joy to behold, and satisfying to use, what's the point?
The sink I linked to above is hand carved marble, doesn't leak, is easy to use, leaves lots of counter top open for use - and looks very nice in its setting. It's unusual, the material is beautiful, and the owner takes great satisfaction in owning and using it.
So, is it practical? It holds water, stays attached to the top, and is easy to wash your hands in.
So's a plastic bucket, if you stick it down with marine silicone adhesive, on a low top.
Hmm. Sounds creative. Oh, forget it.
Natural Stone Info & Advice
I've seen windowless baths with plenty of light.
We removed our window--over the tub.
Skylights are wonderful!
Like the sink pictured. I have glass bowls in a bath that is no longer used a lot, since the kids are grown and moved away. They look good and sparkle because they are kept super clean and polished. They pick up the blue from the granite below and look great. But would I use them if the kids were young and splashing everywhere, no!

Callaway Cars in collaboration with Chevrolet will celebrate the 25th-anniversary of the B2K Callaway Corvette by producing 25 uniquely prepared Corvette Grand Sports for 2012. For this occasion, Chevrolet has reinstated the Regular Production Option (RPO) B2K (nothing to do with the R&B group), which was originally offered between 1987–1991.
The B2K is notable because it features Callaway's twin-turbo kit, which became a factory option on the '87 corvette. The twin-turbo system that was made for the 87–91 B2K Corvette is one of the main reasons Callaway has become a well-known Corvette tuner. The original B2K-optioned Corvette produced 345 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to reach a top speed of 178 mph but requiring more than $50,000 to purchase. Fortunately, during its time, the $50,000 Corvette's performance was in the same category as Ferrari and Lamborghini vehicles costing nearly triple the price.
The 2012 25th-anniversary limited-edition Callaway Corvette RPO B2K will be built at Chevrolet's Bowling Green, Kentucky, assembly plant in April of this year. After that, they will be shipped to one of Callaway's facilities, where each vehicle will be equipped with a Callaway supercharger, exhaust system, suspension components, carbon-fiber body kit, Callaway wheels and tires, specific badges, and more.
The 2012 25th-anniversary limited-edition Callaway Corvette will be unveiled at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green on April 23, 2012.

Wineries in the US - Industry Risk Rating Report
Report description
Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis
This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Wineries in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.
The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).
This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.
Industry Definition
Wineries in this industry grow grapes and manufacture wines and brandies; manufacture wines and brandies using grapes grown in other vineyards; and blend wines and brandies. While this report primarily focuses on wine production, it also includes operators that produce brandies and ciders.
Report Contents
Risk Overview
The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score.
Structural Risk
The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industry's level of exposure to seven key indicators. These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry. The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators. Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section.
Growth Risk
The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.
Sensitivity Risk
The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry. Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.
Industry Risk and Industry Risk Scoring Methodology
This chapter provides an overview of how IBISWorld defines Industry Risk and discusses the methodology used to arrive at an Industry Risk Score. There is also a table that provides a definition of the seven levels of Industry Risk.

Pratt & Whitney Canada Announces Workforce Reductions and Plant Closure
The company will reduce its global workforce by 250 employees and also close its facility on Auvergne Street in Longueuil, Quebec, by the end of 2010.
LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. 30, 2009) - Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) will reduce its global workforce by approximately 250 employees by year's end to align with a projected decline in customer demand and weakness in the global aerospace market with no signs of a recovery in 2010. P&WC is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
The company will also close its facility on Auvergne Street in Longueuil, Quebec, by the end of 2010. The plant's activities will be transferred to other P&WC facilities on Montreal's South Shore. This closure will result in an additional workforce reduction of 160 employees across P&WC's Quebec operations, starting in early 2010.
"These are difficult times. We need to make strategic decisions and structural changes to remain competitive and preserve our future in the face of continuing economic headwinds," said John Saabas, president, P&WC. "We are sensitive to the personal impact on employees who will be affected, and we will do everything we can to ease their transition."
P&WC will consolidate its activities into three key strategic manufacturing and aftermarket facilities in Quebec. These include its headquarters, manufacturing, and research & development facility in Longueuil; its service centre in St. Hubert; and its Mirabel Aerospace Centre, the future home of Pratt & Whitney's global flight test operations and final assembly and test of PW1524G engines for the Bombardier CSeries and the PW800 engine family.
"We remain committed to our activities in Quebec and Canada," said Saabas. When P&WC completes the Mirabel facility in 2010, it will have 1.1 million square feet of manufacturing space in Quebec, approximately 10 percent more than today.
P&WC will continue to invest in new technologies to be ready for the next generation of business jets, regional aircraft and helicopters and to emerge stronger from this economic downturn.
Pratt & Whitney Canada, based in Longueuil, Quebec, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines powering business, general aviation and regional aircraft and helicopters. The company also offers auxiliary power units and industrial gas turbines. P&WC employs over 9,000 employees worldwide. United Technologies, based in Hartford, Connecticut, USA, is a diversified company providing high technology products and services to the global aerospace and building industries.

Not your everyday bath0 Comments
My mother just wrote me asking me to hurry up and write another blog. She asked for an astute observation of Japanese culture. Instead I will share a weird story about Japanese culture. This past weekend I went to a frisbee tournament right near Mt. Fuji. There was a really nice view of the mountain right from the fields where we were playing. The entire team stayed at a Ryokan, which is a traditional Japanese kind of hotel. They have roll out beds and serve amazing meals for breakfast and dinner. The weird part of the story has to do with the bathing situation at this Ryokan, where they had a Sento.
A Sento is a large communal bath. It is essential a giant hot tub, with showers along the outer rim. I went down to take a shower and when I got there I was not alone. I essentially showered with a 70 year old man and about five 8-year old boys. To Japanese people a Sento is great place to go and relax, they are completely normal. The whole experience was pretty weird to me at first, but after a while I just accepted it as another cultural experience here in Japan!

I'm 5' 3" and weighed 165 at full term. Sometimes the size of the baby is determined by ancestors long dead! My son weighed 7lb 12oz and he was born 4 weeks premature! Imagine where he was headed!

It hasn't been dems alone that have been re-uping it since it was passed the first time. On how bad Hillary will be as a president. Every president is bad in some ways.

Obama gave away the farm in order to get the Affordable Care Act passed. Papa Bush said that atheists shouldn't be considered Americans. Sure Hillary will be a bad president in some ways.... they are all bad in some way. I can tell you this much though, any president is going to be a worse president when the publicly stated goal of the opposition is to obstruct that president at any and all opportunities. The dems did it to Bush. The republican'ts are doing it to Obama. It's like Palestine and Israel, they'll fight to the death out of spite and habit, neither one of them knowing which one threw the first punch and not caring because winning is the only goal. What America needs are citizens that go into government for the good of the country instead of the good of their party.

They have "add-ons" that can fool your friends, but certainly not the NSA. BTW, that phone service was bought by Microsoft a couple of years ago- so much for any illusion of confidentiality. By using it, you "opt in" to give up your privacy, just like with G-mail. Using a computer to make a prank call is a dumb move in itself. Any computer transmits a wealth of information. Non-smart phones are a lot less traceable than anything else. Have you ever seen how many items advertisers and other web sites use to uniquely identify your computer? They can't tell your name but track your unique computer. It's called "computer fingerprinting." As soon as you give your name at a web site they track, they've got you. Check this site sometime to see how unique your computer is-- https://panopticlick.eff.org/ .... I suspect that nobody's putting much effort into tracing this call, because in the big scheme of things, they've got more serious things to deal with. (Unfortunately, unlike our local PDs.) Shame this idiot got so much publicity from his crime. I think the glorifying news "perp walk" should be stopped in virtually all cases.

About Kapama
Kapama Private Game Reserve is an African Eden. Sweeping across 13 000 hectares of savannah and riverine forest, Kapama represents a piece of Africa as it used to be. With the mighty Drakensberg mountains in the distance and iconic Kruger National Park to the east, Kapama has distilled the finest wildlife safari offerings for the enjoyment of guests. As part of the greater Kruger area, vast herds of buffalo, elephant and antelope are resident on Kapama, along with plentiful predators. The reserve is a slice of wilderness paradise far from the madding crowd; a place of renewal and reconnection with the natural world.
The iconic and most dangerous wild animals of Africa – the Big Five – are at home on Kapama, but so too are over 40 other mammal species and 350 different types of birds. Game drives and bush walks offer fascinating encounters with wildlife, but Kapama also offers guests unique African wildlife experiences. Elephant-back safaris through the untamed bush enable you to view game from atop a habituated African elephant. There are also guided personal elephant interactions, where the elephants are so close you can touch them.
Romantic sleep-outs on the reserve and decadent African spa treatments at the Wellness Centre are other enticing offerings that encourage complete relaxation and enjoyment of the evocative surrounding environment. Yet, even without doing anything at all, Kapama's air of natural calm will work its magic and renew your body and mind.
Kapama's complimentary transfers are effortless for fly-in safari guests arriving on scheduled flights from Johannesburg or Cape Town. The region is serviced by Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport, a mere 10-minute drive from the entrance to the reserve, and transferring to the lodge in open vehicles means game viewing right from arrival – so your safari starts even before check-in. All you need to do is sit back, relax and be enchanted by Africa.

Yes, is a good move, but not really in the same league as Startrek Deflectors, i mean try stopping a few 100 gigawatts of em energy with them.
Though i would much prefer other Startrek things first, like maybe world peace, cheap and emission free energy production or replicator type food production.
I can dream i suppose.

unlike what we see happen with sci fi shields, ¿it very hard to block kinetic impactor..
Against projectiles, you have 3 options:
1) Move out of the way
2) vaporize it
3) encase your self in some kind of armor...

personally i think we are far from understanding the true power of electro magnetic feilds, gravity, plasma, warp fields and the like. Im sure it is possible to create some sort of deflector system that can stop kinetic energy. It may take a few hundred years after warp drives become common but we will get it eventually. like all things we think it is impossible and then it happens.

Stopping kinetic energy is not the problem, it the fact that momentum must be conserved.
Any momentum that the projectile carries is transfer to the object stopping it, that why you still get bruised, and injured when a bullet proof vest stops a bullet.
Any force field that stop an object must still transfer that momentum to the ship that mount the generator.
In the case of tiny sub atomic particles, the momentum they carry is transfer via the magnetic field to the coils, since the momentum each particle carries is tiny the structure that holds the magnetic field generator is not a problem.
Stopping an iron meteor the size of rock is. The Momentum is enought to break the mounting the generator is on and even break the coils...

You are very right!
A force field technology would not have to directly stop a solid object, only divert it from a direct impact. Like in Judo. What gets trough could then be stopped or slowed down by a composite impact plate, like on modern tanks.
Very strong magnetic force fields can even bend or divert light waves (ie: laser & energy beams). What gets through could be reflected by a polished silver outer skin (ie: light/energy reflector).
High intensity sound waves also have shown potential as a force field or type of shield. Such technology can shatter or pulverize solid objects, and has even been used to move or suspend solid objects.
In the opening of Voyager, a scene was presented, where the ships force field (shields) diverts dust particles in a stellar dust cloud around the Voyager. This was a nice effect, and presented the shield concept very well.
If the military does not already have such technology on the drawing boards or in testing, it will be surely in the next 10 years.
Anti-Gravity generation is also in work around the world, and is already in testing, and likely will be in actual use in 5 to 10 years. This mainly is for propulsion, but could be used to repel or divert solid objects.
Newton¿s Laws have proven in modern physics to very true. And the Newton Law for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction! Thus, if there is Gravity (Attraction), there must be Anti-Gravity (Repulsion).
Humanity is being guided to a future in space.
Has been for a long time now!
Gene Roddenberry was a very bright and knowledgeable man, and his vision of Star Trek was closer to truth than most may wish to believe.
Humanity is at a very dangerous cross roads in the development of its social and technological footprint. Tribal goat herders can now access the technology of Atlantis.
Nuclear tipped spears are a real problem.
Also, the control of mass information (computers) and scientific knowledge (technology) by the corrupt elite of the Human Populations, is creating the genesis for tyranny on a mass scale.
The all seeing eye of Atlantis in the wrong hands is also a real problem.
These two key problems in the present Human Social & Technological Development and Progress, have Humanities future survival hanging in the balance.
The reason Gene Roddenberry presented the "PRIME DIRECTIVE" in Star Trek, as he knew very well that an extremely advanced technological society can NOT share its knowledge and technology with lesser-developed society, as this is a recipe for disaster.
To give the animal skin clothed natives nuclear tipped spears is NOT a good idea.
The "PRIME DIRECTIVE" presented in a simple human perspective, would be, NOT to give young children access to matches or bic lighters! They are to immature and irresponsible to have access to these things which they cannot either fully understand or comprehend, and if they get access to these things, can seriously harm themselves and others either purposely or by sheer ignorance.
Humanity is presently at the stage of young children!
First comes Science Fiction!
Then comes Human Social Growth & Development!
Then comes Star Ships and Star Travel!
All things will come in due time!
Even shields and force fields!
Nicole Tesla was too far ahead for humanity in the realm of electro magnetic fields and gravity. That is why all of his work was confiscated by the United States Government!
Tesla did in fact have Death Rays, Transmitted Power, Free Energy Systems, and other things of great importance. They will see the light of day, when the time is right.

To deflect you must redirect momentum, that means applying a force.. Judo works because the one applying the force is brace against the ground. He still is taking the force upon him self but he spreading it across his entire body. A judo master can deflect a punch, but not a charging rhino .
Conservation of momentum is universal, it applies to quantum physics, as it does to plain newtonian mechanics and even string and M theory would obey this relationship. IT is base on a basic symmetry of space! That would under lie any physics or scientific theory.
also Light is uneffect by magnetic fields, photons donot normally interact with the virtual photons of magnetic fields except thru rare QED interactions, only extremely powerful lasers would be effected, we are talking about lasers who intensity is in the range of 10^25 watts /cm ^3, way beyond the range of any laser we have today.
There have been a slight detection of a minor deflection of laser in powerful magnetic fields ( 4 telsa) the deflection is not due to the interaction of the photons with the fields but with a particle called an axion, this is the first proof that axions exist. Even then the deflection is so small that it could only be detected by observing a slight phase shift in the laser light.
Sound doesnot work in space... So that not a valid solution.
As it stands Force fields (Magnetic or otherwise) as means to protect against large impactors is not practical, it far easier to vaporize and incoming object thus allow it momentum to be spread over a wider area of the ship hull which could be armor and easily handle the diminish force.
This is the principle behind the Whipple Shield , which uses a meteor impact against a thin outer wall to vaporize the meteor and then the spray of vaporize material is stop by a stronger inner wall.
Deflecting laser or pure photons are easy, any beam of light would have a tiny momentum, particle beams of equal power would have higher momentum, even with the magnetic force fields nasa is designing it would require millions of watts of power to stop fairly low energy cosmic rays, it would collasp if struck by higher end cosmic rays ( the most powerful cosmic ray particle had the kinetic energy of a baseball thrown at 90 miles per hours.) which would cause the energy in the field to be dump into a Resistor bank.
As for Antigravity, Most of all current research in this has been a burst. Einstein law of general relativity show that the generation of anti grav requires exotic substances such as negative energy or pressure ; or exotic matter. None of this is available on earth or with the level of technology we possess with the power sources avaliable to our civilization.
Lasers can be block by plasma (Cold plasma) while hi speed kinetic impactor, would need first to be vaporize by a point defense system or by complex armor like a whipple shield.

Not so true! A bull fighter (not dealing with the red cape issue) will deflect a charging bull sometimes by pushing the bull to the side deflecting the brunt of a head on collision. You are correct that the mass of the Bull Fighter will be offset by the Bull, but only a very small fraction of what a dead on impact would have resulted to the Bull Fighter. This would be a glancing blow, and is what a repulser/deflector shield would do. The vast majority of the imparted momentum (Energy) of the Bulls moving mass, would simply move past the Bull Fighter, and would not be directly imparted (transferred) to the Bull Fighter.
"Conservation of momentum is universal" O.K.? I addressed this above in the deflection example of the Bull Fighter. These laws have not been violated, either in the example of the Bull Fighter or my original example of a magnet or gravity based shield/deflector. That why in Star Trek they are called "DEFLECTOR SHILEDS"! Not "IMPACT SHIELDS"!
Light is affected by Strong Magnetic Fields, as Light is Pure Energy. The stronger the Magnetic Field, the more deviation of the light beam. A black hole can bend light at 90 degrees! the rest of your gibberish is flif fluf.
Again needless fliff fluff. Not impressing me with fancy words. Bottom line, light/energy beams are in fact deviated (bent) by powerful magnetic fields.
Axions - are one of the leading candidates for dark matter, along with supersymmetric particles called neutralinos. They were first proposed explain why the strong interaction, unlike the weak force, does not violate charge-parity (CP) symmetry. Axions are thought to be produced in the Sun when thermal photons scatter from electrons and protons in the solar core. Theoretical models and astrophysical observations constrain the mass of the axion to values between a millionth of an electron volt (eV) and a few eV. The detection of axions would represent further evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
True! however in an atmosphere of a planet, ship, station, base or in an aquatic environment, this would be a factor. In the vacuum of space you are correct, sound waves would not work as there would be no medium in which they could travel (ie: gas/air/water).
True, under present knowledge and technology. However, shields are a real option in the near future, and would compliment any active anti-mass (projectile) weapon system or anti-impact armor plating.
True. Whipple Shield - United States Patent 5610363 - A hypervelocity impact (HVI) Whipple Shield and a method for shielding a wall from penetration by high velocity particle impacts where the Whipple Shield is comprised of spaced apart inner and outer metal sheets or walls with an intermediate cloth barrier arrangement comprised of ceramic cloth and high strength cloth which are interrelated by ballistic formulae.
However, magnetic/gravity shields can work, which was the issue of this thread, and my post!
Again, we are NOT talking about "IMPACT" shields, we are talking about "DEFLECTOR" shields. Even NASA has planned to encompass a deep space manned ship in a Magnetic Field, thus causing rays and particles to be diverted around the ship, and not to directly impact the ship. This would reduce the need for lead and gold cosmic ray shielding, which would have massive weight (mass) and would require more fuel and propulsion needs. The magnetic field of the Earth likewise diverts harmful solar and cosmic radiation around the Earth. If it were not for the Earths Magnetic Field, we would all be dead!
Not True!

1. A bull fighter doesnot deflect a bull but lure the bull to follow his cape..No physical contact is necessary it the bull that does all the physical work..
2. To deflect is a physical act, magnetic fields deflect charge particle, there is no impact, but a gradual exchange of virtual photons that alter the momentum and the vector of the particle moment... The field also is effected, the device or object that generate the field will have an electrical or counter magnetic force generated, this is call eddy currents and in electrical device can actually be moved by this..
Gravity works in the same way, the field deflect the object but the source of the gravity field is also moved..
3. False, magnetic fields are virtual photons,light is also photons, photons donot normally interact with one another. You can see this your self, get a flashlight, and shine the beam toward any hi power magnetic source whether a MRI, a junk yard electromagnetic, of refrigator magnet the beam is not effect at the least.
Magnetic fields work on electrical charges and photons will interact with charge particles, all of quantum mechanics is build on this, but they donot interact with each other except thru rare QED effects that require extremely intense beams of light, no deflection of light due to magnetic field of pulsar has ever been detected and that is the strongest fields we know of.
Gravity bends light due to the fact that it warps space and the light beam is travelling alone a straight line path is a warp space time
Blackhole bends light due to gravity not magnetic effects..
And the blackhole is also move by the beam of light but the deflection is two small for it to be detected due the blackhole greater mass ( Photons have no rest mass but still have a virtual mass due to E=MC square, so photons have momentum also but it extremely small)
4. ship atmoshpere is inside a ship, no sounds travel thru the vacuum of space. so we agree on this so sonic weapons are not a factor.
5. False magnetic fields deflector still impart momentum on the generator, a simple experiment with magnetic will show.
place a magnetic on a string. Place a nail on a string. bring the strings close to gether and you will see both the magnet and the nail move toward each other... The force of magnetism work both on the magnetic and the nail.. A deflecting a Hi speed kinetic impactor would also have the same effect.
6. as for antigravity, great links, but notice none of the so call experiments have worked, Antigravity research has been a long string of failures, whether it deal with lifters ( that is due to ion wind, lifter do not work in vacuum as the show "Myth busters" demostrated, to the so call superconductor Gravity shield. None of your links show a single laboratory has verified proof of antigrav effect..
For a force field to work it would still be effect by Newtonian effects, so the craft will still feel the force of the object. The idea is find a way to spread out the force over a wider area, which you do with either point defense which fragment an object or vaporize it , so only a small amount of the object impacts. Deflecting light or radiation is no problem since it force these particles generate is small. Stopping a meteor is another thing and no matter what the tech level, point defenses and armor would alway be a better way than some kind of deflector field..

Sigh........ Read my post, or I will not waste my time with an answer! Ie: aside from the cape (deception leading to self change in course and mass of the bull).
Sigh............. Fiff Fluff again! If a bullet hits an object, it penetraits because all the force/mass/momentium is focused on a small area. If the bullet enters a strongmagnetic field that is fixed/connected to the taget object (ship), the entire mass/weight of the target is brought to bear on the bullet. The ship is tons of mass and the bullet is ounces of mass (not counting any (motion/movement)/momentium/kenetic energy imparted to either object. The Kenetic Energy of the Bullet would have to be vastly greater than the Mass & Kenetic Energy of the Ship to cause the ships mass to be moved in any significant manner. In this way the mass/kenetic energy of the Bullet is distributed over the entire mass of the Ship, an thus is NOT focused on a single small focused point, and therefore would not penetrait and would either be slowed and stopped or deflected into an alternate path (as when the bull fighter uses his hand to push the bull, and thus deflecting the bulls path past him).
Photon - particle composing light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation , sometimes called light quantum. The photon has no charge and no mass. About the beginning of the 20th cent., the classical theory that light is emitted and absorbed by matter in a continuous stream came under criticism because it led to incorrect predictions about several effects, notably the radiation of light by incandescent bodies (see black body ) and the photoelectric effect . These effects can be explained only by assuming that the energy is transferred in discrete packets, or photons, the energy of each photon being equal to the frequency of the light multiplied by Planck's constant, h. Because the value of Planck's constant is extremely small (6.62 ¿ 10 -27 erg sec.), the discrete nature of light energy is not evident in most optical phenomena. The light imparts energy and momentum to a charged particle when one of the photons collides with it, as is demonstrated by the Compton effect . See quantum theory.
Sigh....... Yes, but in ratio to bullet ship mass and kenetic energy, ie: the movement of the ship is nearly unnoticable
Sigh....., lets not talk Quantum Phyisics! Most here are already lost as it is. Keep it simple and so the common man can understand, or you will lose 95% of people!
Light beams are deviated/altered by Strong Magnetic Fields, I will leave it at that!
QED - "quantum electrodynamic" effects on the interaction between quantum dots and the electromagnetic field. Investigations of quantized matter-field interactions involving self-assembled quantum dots required an advance in the understanding of the electronic structure and optical properties of strained quantum dots. Consequently much of the research carried out under this grant centered on clarifying these issues. Problems investigated included: optimization of the growth process by which the quantum dots were formed; physical characterization of the microstructure of the quantum dots so as to identify their symmetries and to enable the creation of appropriate electronic structure models; the use of these results to calculate electronic structure; and spectroscopic tests of the models.
Agreed, and True!
Sigh..., fliff fluff again!
Agreed, (In Space).

Fluff!... I'll tried not to confuse you with the facts
The compton effect is photons interacting with charge particles such as electron, not virtual photons as found in magnetic fields, another attempt to insert a Red herring into the debate.
Photons to Photons reaction are rare and are cause when an one photon turn into a pair of charge particle ( this is due to quantum fluctation, the particle will come back together in microsecond to reform the photons) but such interact is so rare it is only seen when intensity or energies off the photons are at level that cannot be produce in any lab at this time.
Even the magnetic fields of Pulsars are not strong enought and only the photon product by Blastar ( Hi energy quasar) have been observed interacting with photons from the big bang...
As for the bullet, a bullet needs not penetrate an object to cause damage. Any one shot while wearing a bullet proof can tell you about the bruises, broken bones and even death can occur due to impact.
A bullet entering a magnetic field, act on the magnet not the ship, the magnet would need to be braced, also the bullet entering the field creates eddy currents, that can inturn demagnetize the magnetic, in electro magnetic it creates a back currents that will heat the wiring and can short out the system.
The threat of this happening has cause NASA to design massive energy sinks in their own magnetic protection projects
