Coalition Self-Defense Coalition Standard Self-Defense
Lesson One
Personal self-defense has been a primary concern among most people, of all species, since at least as far back as they can remember, and possibly even longer. Everything from guns, swords, pipes, small animals, and even fists have been employed in the defense of one's self and property, and perhaps others if you're on reasonably good terms. You've probably seen methods of personal protection taught and utilized at your local martial arts training center, church, or even nursery school, perhaps even to great effect.
However, in today's ever expanding universe, many traditional methods are no longer practical in all situations when species of different size, shape, and general mating habits are all in the
Comparative BiologiesIt was a horrible state of affairs and everything seemed to have worked out right for the Haphaestus colony since peace had broken out six years ago between the Humans and Alarie. A small human colony, Hephaestus never the less had several prominent universities that accepted students from just about everywhere in UEC controlled space. And for the last three years had been attempting to integrate a growing body of Alarie students.Comparative Biologies5 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
The planet Hephaestus was an Earth-like planet in orbit around the star Beta Aquilae with slighty above Earth-normal gravity, about 1.2 g, and was rich in metals and trans-uranics. It was also more geologically active than Earth, thus the name given it when the first settlement was established. Despite the frequent strings of volcanic and seismic occurrances, the colony had thrived.
Oddly, when the first universities had been established, the main courses of study had been geared toward the medical fields rather than engineering and trades. Thus, Hephaestus n
Through the WoodsAn armor clad alaerin swiftly and nearly silently worked her way amidst the trees. They were rather large and tall in the area, such that even one of the human's mechanical walkers could hide behind one. She was on high alert, her eyes scanning all about her, looking for even the slightest hint of movement. Whether one of the small human scouts was lurking in-between, or one of their more powerful vehicles, she felt she was ready for it.Through the Woods5 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
Her back to a tree, she peeked out to her right, gun at the ready, she then ducked quickly back. Peeking out the left for a moment, she ducked back. She sprinted to another tree, placing her back against it, and surveyed the area ahead of her, then retreated for a moment before diving into a roll, and standing up behind another tree. After another scan, she ran a bit and did a jump with a mid-air somersault, landing behind another. Another quick scan and she jumped with a mid-

"If they discover our location, and are able to relay it back to their command, we'll be up the creek without a boat.

"Sir, yes sir!" replied his troops.
The major began to pace along the line of marines. "Now, as you know, the last attack on our position left us with no battle tanks, armored walking tanks, ranged support tanks, or tanks of fuel. Furthermore, with no means to radio for air support, we've no supply tanks, tanks of ammo, additional replacement tanks, food tanks, or tanks of ale! That's unacceptable! Am I right?"

It had been six local days since Lt. George Winchell's capture by the Alarie, in which time the giant aliens had attempted to interrogate him. The Psion, Liriellin, was very determined to crack his resistance to her probes, but thus far the mental conditioning he had been subjected to in basic and sniper training was holding firm. As things stood, he was fairly certain that Liriellin was close to giving up.
That last bit he knew to be wishful thinking on his part, as the matriarch of
Tyrinaleiris wanted answers from him, regardless of how long it was likely to take. The fact that none of the UEC troopers that had landed on the planet with him had been captured was troubling, as it meant that they had either been wiped out or were unable to advance to the infiltration part of their mission. Either one was bad in its own way, as it would mean total mission failure.
Stretched out on his bed, he realized that he had been absentmindedly humming as he ran these pos

The ladies hoped that Iminasi had managed to get the point across to the human. She had a wonderful voice and seemed to have picked up the tune beautifully. When the human did little more than look from her to them and return nothing but a perplexed expression, they started chattering at each other, again.
"Do you suppose he's still a little disoriented from being brain scanned?"
"I think we may be scaring him."
"Poor little thing, maybe he needs a hug."
"Should we give him with a sweet?"
"I think... hey, what's he doing?"
Ceasing their gabbling, they turned their attention back to the human.
The human had gotten a drink from the water bottle attached to the side of his enclosure and took a deep breath.
Having wet his whistle, Winchell took a breath and stood in the center of his cage. These ladies obviously wanted a song and weren't likely to go away without one, so decided to give them one.

They became recruits at the same time. They were the best of their squads. They believed nothing could stop them, that nothing could stand in their way. How foolish they were, before they got that real taste of battle.
Nath Lloyd smiled as he readied his weapons, a sniper rifle and a pair of SMGs. Sergeant Mark Williams shook his head, Boy, youre never going to take down an Alarian with those things. You need something with a bit more power. If ya dont youll never pierce their armor. Nath laughed, Im not going to pierce their armor, Im going to shoot at the cracks in it.

The next morning, when Liriellin came to say good morning and conduct Winchell to his interrogation session, she found his enclosure empty. Checking the trapdoor, she found it closed and locked. Sending a telepathic notice to Betamina, the facility's head of security, Liriellin began a systematic search of the building for the wayward prisoner.
The chances that the human had found a way out were slim, even if he had attempted the air ducts or waste drains. The anti-vermin systems were quite efficient and deadly and she doubted that a lone human without tools or weapons could get past them. Unless he had managed to stow away aboard one of the civilian workers (an amusing thought), the prisoner was most certainly still inside the building.
The first thing any sniper needed to know was the territory in which he operated,
therefor Winchell spent the first few hours of his freedom exploring the building. All

On a Cold Winter's EveChilling wind swept across the frozen landscape as night began to set in. It was snowing only lightly, but the temperature was dropping quickly, which for Tyramini meant her time was quickly waning. The tiny elf, barely more than six inches tall, was walking past some trees, where the snow wasn't higher than her knees, clutching her partly soaked, trembling as she walked. Her long, golden hair had partly frozen already, her pointy ears had long since gone numb, and life seemed already to be fading from her deep green eyes.On a Cold Winter's Eve4 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
Although she wore a suitably warm, green tunic, it was useless wet, now only retaining the water as it slowly turned to ice. If she didn't find someway to save herself soon, she would die.

Chapter 1
Two weeks had passed since the Lightless Crisis, as the various news organizations had dubbed it, mostly in part to the near rhyme it formed when read aloud. Princess Celestia had since returned to her true self, the Panacea of Eternity having restored her power and health, and after a few "Solstice Overhang" days, the land she and her sister governed returned as well. The plants slowly grew back to their green, vibrant tones, ponies again filled the streets, though adorned with sunglasses to adjust at first, and soon the entire incident slipped into being just a story to pass down the family lines. The Princesses both appeared to their public, giving an official statement on the crisis, though nimbly avoiding mention of Discord's release. A ceremony was held to commend the brave adventurer

The Night Guards again took to the air, Luna's cart trailing, on their flight back to Canterlot. The adventurous group was left at the edge of the always foreboding Everfree Forest. The songs of millions of strange insects and animals echoed from within the dark depths, creating a static wall of noise. Everypony could feel it staring back at them, almost as though the forest itself was alive.
"This is so cool!" Spike excitedly chimed from his place on Twilight's back.
"No, Spike, this is serious!" Twilight countered, turning to face the dragon. "We're doing this for the Princess, remember? She needs us."
Spike crossed his arms, visibly upset at being spoken to in such a stern way. "I still think it's cool," he muttered quietly beneath his breath.

Twilight's eyes fluttered open as the delightful scent of breakfast swam into her senses. Brushing her mane from her eyes, she sat up in bed, stretching off the dense relaxation of heavy slumber. "Morning, Spike," she yawned out. Hearing no response, she peeked over the foot of her bed. Spike's basket was empty, and with the aroma of eggs and pancakes coming from downstairs, she could only assume he was busy cooking the early meal.
She glanced out the window, prepared to meet gaze with her mentor's golden sun as usual, but was instead met with the night's darkness. Odd, she thought, even for the early Spring months. A quick eye at her alarm, however, revealed the hour to be earlier than she thought: just after 5.
"Why in Equestria is Spike up this early?" she asked herself as she stood from the bed. The dragon was no early riser, more often sleeping in well past sunrise. She even remembered that once in the past winter,

With an audiable ka-chunk, Leesen's cargo hauler flew free of the docking clamps, the thrusters burning brightly, moving the ship away of the space station. This had been his first run alone and for once in his life he didn't screw it up. He was surprised, actually. Leesen then eased the thruster power up to cruising speed, watching slower space traffic fall behind him.

The sounds of the crackling fire alone permeated the heavy blanket of silence in the library. The weak warmth that grew from it only seemed to make the cold at its distance more frigid. Twilight didn't mind. She felt the cold was her punishment, piercing into her very soul like the arrows of judgement. She didn't deserve warmth.
The unicorn sat on the opposite end of the library, far from the small comfort of heat that she denied herself. Her breath billowed out in misty clouds as ice nipped at her fur. She slowly turned, peering out the frosted window beside her. Beyond the pale, weary reflection of herself, she could see nothing. Darkness reigned over the world now, impenetrable, and uncaring. Winter had taken the place of all seasons, snow piling high in the eternal blizzard. What few ponies remained had long since left, but not her. She had to stay. She had to suffer.
The shelves around her were bare now. The books

Chapter 4
Twilight slept restlessly, her dreams filled with nightmarish images. A blackened sun, exploding in silence and raining a blanket of darkness over the world. Ravenous packs of wild dogs with diamond teeth, nipping at her tail as she ran. Chains tightly gripping the skin, dragging her down into fathomless, watery depths. Visions of black, inky skies. Sickness. Death. A laughing snake with twisted horns and piercing, red eyes, tightly wound around her neck.
The hours of miserable slumber final gave, the unicorn waking in a cold sweat with a start. She had expected the warming light of day to shine into her weary eyes before the reality of the situation flooded her again. Night still held dominance over the sky, the moon shining down as Luna's protective blessing. She wanted to believe that it was all a dream. That Princess Celestia wasn't sick. That the sun would be shining down like always. That they weren't so far away

Memories of father light fire under Mack
After dropping his last fight and losing his father to cirrhosis, Yusaf Mack is fighting with renewed vigor -- and with a new outlook on his career.
Originally Published: June 3, 2008By Tim Smith | Special to ESPN.com
Chris Cozzone/Fightwireimages.comMack, right, had Andrade on the ropes -- until fitness woes caught up with the Philly fighter.Yusaf Mack, a tough Philly fighter, always knew that he had enough natural talent to become a world champion in boxing. Maybe he relied upon it just a little too much during his run through the super middleweight division. Mack ate the wrong foods, never really focused on training properly and gained the reputation of a boxer who didn't have the stamina to go the distance. It cost him twice -- most recently against Librado Andrade last October. Mack dropped Andrade in the first round, but ran out of gas and Andrade stopped him on a seventh-round TKO. It was shortly after that fight that Mack's father, Terry Smith, told him that time was running out on his career and if he wanted to get the most from all that natural talent, he was going to have to apply himself more fully to his profession. Terry Smith died of cirrhosis of the liver in February, but those words still rumble inside Mack's head every day he steps into a gym to prepare for a fight.
"Before he passed away he said, 'Win a title for me,'" Mack said. "That was a lot of motivation for me. I'm still going through some stuff [from his death]. But he's feeding my fire right now. What he said is really making me work harder than ever." Mack (24-2-2, 15 KOs), who is now campaigning at light heavyweight, will take on Daniel Judah (20-2-3, 10 KOs) in a 12-round match at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, N.Y., in the main event of ESPN2's "Wednesday Night Fights." The clock is ticking for the 28-year-old Mack. He fought at super middleweight for eight years, but fell short in his bid to fight for a world title. Mack isn't exactly starting over by moving up, yet he can't afford to waste time and he can't afford too many setbacks.
[+] Enlarge
AP Photo/Ed GonserMack, left, is hoping to take the light heavyweight division by storm.
This is a good fight to let Yusaf know that there are no walkovers anymore, so when you get the next shot you'll be prepared.

By the way, I should not have used the term Kappy. I kow it is spelled differently in the movie, but now I can't stop thinking about flying an F-16 into a country that is obviously Iran but isn't Iran to save my dad from the prison there.
I also realize that said movie is not in my collection and that this is not right. Now I have to wait two days for it to get here from Amazon because Best Buy has stopped selling awesome old movies.
I may have to watch Best of the Best tonight to tide me over. De Han is going down.
I am full of middle class white dude issues today.
I don't get the sense that many believe this year's 49ers are as legit a contender as the Falcons, Packers, Giants, Bears (when fully healthy), or even the red hot Bucs or Saints. They've become a bit forgotten about, mostly because of the ho hum perception of Alex Smith. This is a game that could rekindle some juice in the 49ers chances if Kaepernick looks like the QB that can propel them to take the next step.

Today Wired News' Kim Zetter reported on their "Threat Level" blog that Maryland Election Director, and long-time Diebold apologist, Linda Lamone has allowed her statements and picture to be used in new advertising brochures Diebold has produced to promote their Express Poll 5000 electronic poll books.
Zetter quotes Lamone:
Note Lamone's mention of being pleased during the general election.
As Zetter points out in her article, the machines that Lamone is speaking for failed spectacularly in Maryland during last September's Maryland primary election. The machines also failed in Georgia last July. It appears that Diebold was doing what seems to have become a common practice among the voting machine vendors, "Beta Testing" in a real election. While Diebold claimed that they fixed all of the problems found during the primaries, at least one official told Zetter that machines in at least one precinct crashed when a last name beginning with "Cur" was typed in.
And what about the conflict of interest of Lamone shilling for a company that the state is doing business with? Zetter goes on to report...

rhodo's got trampled :/
So we have contractors repairing our front porch. I asked them to please 'mind the high-mainetence rhodos' in the front yard. They did a pretty good job, but some damage was unavoidable. these are fairly small (2ft x 2 ft or so) and lot of the branches did get broken off.....
will it survive and just be more....spindly? I am guessing the branches with no leaves will just die...
Hope they can be saved, I've been babying them for three years now, so I hate to see them in such a state.....:(
That's a shame - I've dug and moved rhododendrons (and other things) out of the way of contractors more than once, with this new home I have nothing of great value anywhere close to the house, just a few simple foundation plantings and I plan to keep it that way.
I'm almost as concerned about the 'trampling', if they were walking in and around the plants and their surface habit of roots.
As for broken stems and branches, it's best to go in with sharp pruners and make clean cuts where breakage happened. A sharp straight cut will not offer the same foothold for secondary disease or insect issues as torn or jagged breaks. If there are dormant buds in the areas of stem that are left below your cuts, those should respond by producing new growth. Mulch around the plants, keep them watered as is appropriate, and don't walk on them any more this year :) Then just wait, and see how they recover.

Ship Size Comparison Chart (Klingon)

Yeah, my take on it is that the devs wanted to beef up the Klingon ships, perhaps to note the progress from the TOS era, and thus the BoP starts at 150 meters, and grows larger from there.
Interestingly, though, if you look at the canon, the Bird of Prey is one of the odder discontinuities. The Bird of Prey, with the exact same model with the same detailing, is depicted at dozens of different scales, varying from 110 meters to well over 700. According to [url=http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/bop-size.htm]Ex Astris[url], the most consistent scales appear to be the 110 meter length from TMP, and a length around 330 meters which was used in TNG to make the BoP comparable to the Galaxy and Romulan warships. (Which are admittedly huge in comparison to everything else) This was also apparently named the K'Vort class.
The latter very nicely fits the size of the Hegh'Ta BoP, while the K'Tang would be in the same range, if a little small. (at 290 m) The Quldun at 180 m and the Norgh at 240 m are a compromise between the two, and would fit with a 230 m IKS Pagh from the TNG episode "A Matter of Honor".
In other words, it seems like the devs, instead of scaling the same B'Rel up to different sizes as in the canon, designed their own Bird of Prey classes, and set them at the significant sizes from the show. WIth the B'Rel, it's canon length of 110 m was boosted to 150 m to match the Defiant, which apparently was upgraded from 120 to 150 as well.
The BoP isn't really a fighter, it's a small raider, like the Defiant, but it scales comparably to Federation Escorts. The Raptor seems to be a similar design lineage, only with fixed wings, and a narrower wingspan. I would guess that the BoP is designed specifically for atmospheric entry (thus it's adjustable wing angle) and so even the larger versions are probably capable of reentry, although possibly not as easily as the B'Rel. (The Intrepid class can land on a planet, though, so the same should be possible for any ship of similar size, as long as it's properly constructed)

Statesboro, GA (Sports Network) - Karl Cochran scored 16 points and Spencer Collins posted a double-double as the Wofford Terriers defeated the Georgia Southern Eagles, 53-47, in a Southern Conference brawl at Hanner Fieldhouse.

As you read this, two incredibly delicate-looking, but even more incredibly courageous, little girls are outside the United Arab Emirates embassy near the Royal Albert Hall, demanding justice for their father.
Sara, 13, and Maaria, 10, will be protesting there, through rain, wind and cold, for the next 28 days, when they have to return to Dubai for the next school term. They will draw in passers-by with lollipops, then tell them how their father has been wrongly imprisoned and get them to sign a book of support.
That Safi Qurashi, a south London-raised property entrepreneur who hit the big time when he moved to the UAE in August 2004, has two wonderful daughters does not mean he should be set free from his Dubai jail. Not even the independent investigations – one authorised by the Dubai courts – that state that he and two business associates are victims of a miscarriage of justice, that they are not guilty of the crime of bouncing cheques, should necessarily guarantee his release. Certainly the findings were not enough for a Dubai judge, who "shell-shocked" Qurashi's family, as his brother Farhan puts it, last week by refusing to overturn the original verdict.
However, there is more than enough evidence and questions over the manner of Qurashi's arrest, questioning and trial, for the Foreign Office to take its head out of the sand and put pressure on Dubai's ruling family to take a fresh look at the case.
Qurashi is not the type who will naturally elicit much sympathy from the British public: He splashed out an obscene $60m for the Great Britain island in the even more obscene $14bn mega-development that is The World off the coast of Dubai; he appeared on television with Piers Morgan, talking about how he had made it rich as the little emirate boomed; and he flew Kenny Dalglish and players from his beloved Liverpool FC to the Little Britain island to show off where he might build a training facility for the squad.
However, what happened to Qurashi, if even only parts of what he, his family and independent investigators allege is true, shows why only two years ago the British embassy said that Brits were more likely to be arrested in the UAE than in any other country.
According to his supporters, Qurashi was arrested after leaving a mosque. He was accused of bouncing three cheques worth millions of pounds, two when he acted as a broker in a land deal involving a Russian, the other regarding a joint venture to develop the Iraq and Moscow islands in The World.
He was allowed to drive home, where the police informed his pregnant wife that he was under arrest. Once in the police station, Qurashi was handcuffed to a chair for eight hours and then held for a week without being allowed to make a phone call.
A month later, following a trial that lasted no more than a few minutes, he was sentenced to seven years in jail. His wife had a miscarriage.
It has since been discovered that Qurashi had, in fact, paid the value of the two cheques involving the Russian, while the third was cancelled rather than bounced.
Far dimmer minds than a man who built up a £600m-turnover property empire from scratch will have fallen foul of the UAE's zero-tolerance attitude to bounced cheques.
While it might be politically incorrect to question another culture's laws, the FCO should give serious consideration to what Qurashi's case really means. How many of the 60 or so Brits believed to be in Dubai's Central Jail for financial fraud are the victim of similar errors? How many of those prisoners signed cheques months in advance of them being cashed, as is the custom, to cover car or rental payments, only for the financial crisis that hit Dubai so badly to result in them bouncing? If there is no criminal intent, shouldn't the British government try to protect those Brits who have so helped the Dubai economy to boom? And how many of them have been unable to tell of their plight because, unlike Qurashi, they did not have Bentleys and yachts that they could sell to pay their legal fees?
The FCO required a letter of "due process" to get involved. The Qurashis finally found a UAE lawyer brave enough to sign one, yet the FCO has done little with the letter since receiving it more than two months ago.
However, there is some hope that the Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt will now intervene. If he does, he must demand that Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed, tell Sara and Maaria why today they could not celebrate Eid at home with their father. They must find out why, instead, he is rotting in a jail wearing a two-piece white outfit, the top emblazoned with a horizontal blue line that denotes the severity of his supposed crime.
Maaria told me yesterday how much she misses Dubai, as it is "really fun to play in its parks and beaches". Farhan added that his brother refused to join the British exodus from Dubai when it crashed in late 2009 as he still believed in its grand dreams.
Those little girls and their dad deserve better from our government, as well as the tiny emirate they still adore.
Lloyds chief off with stress? Blame the coalition and its ridiculous riddles
The root cause of the stunning news that Lloyds chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio is taking time off due to stress is the utter lack of logic in government banking policy.
No one, not even the financial world's equivalent of Jose Mourinho (he's Portuguese, sharply dressed and the ferocity of his determination is inhuman) can resolve the central conflict at the heart of the coalition's twin demands to increase lending and shore up their balance sheets.
Under the Project Merlin agreement, the four biggest banks must lend £76bn to the UK's five million small businesses this year, to resuscitate the economy. But that money must be poured on to their balance sheets to ensure that they can withstand another financial crisis.
It might seem a bit of a stretch to argue that this unsolvable conundrum is what has left Horta-Osorio so badly drained. It isn't.
The 47-year-old former Santander UK boss threw himself into his role with trademark zeal in March, wrong-footing the entire industry in deciding to settle on the mis-selling of payment protection insurance. He set aside £3.2bn, forcing rivals to follow suit (for this alone, Horta-Osorio deserves the public's thanks). He undertook a massive reorganisation, shed 15,000 jobs, and centralised operations so he could keep an eye on every senior manager's move.
John Maltby was promoted to the executive committee and given responsibility for SMEs. He reported to Horta-Osorio, meaning many of the legendarily long hours the Portuguese worked were focused on getting credit to small businesses.
This autumn, Horta-Osorio is understood to have moaned that all the micro-managing was exhausting. Now, figures have emerged showing that small businesses find it no easier to obtain lending. Big criticism of the big banks is back.
Horta-Osorio was under particular pressure as the taxpayer owns 41 per cent of Lloyds. Even if he returns in eight weeks, refreshed, he still won't have an answer to his biggest shareholder's impossible riddle.
