During the Federal Communications Commission update session at APCO 2013 last week, David Furth, who serves as deputy chief of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, discussed issues related to 911 services that are currently before the commission.
Not surprisingly, the most active topic was text to 911, but issues of location accuracy and 911 reliability were also hot topics.
A Major Hurdle
In December 2012, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addressing issues around text to 911. Furth explained that the four major carriers have agreed to be on board by March 2014.
One of the important aspects agreed to involves bounce-back. When a citizen sends a text to 911 in a region that does not support this technology, they will receive a message back advising them to use an alternate method to address the emergency. Without the bounce-back feature, individuals would not receive a response and could assume their emergency is being addressed -- while in reality their message went nowhere.
As part of their voluntary agreement, the wireless carriers adopted a bounce-back element in March, and it should be implemented by the end of September 2014. The question that remains is how technological changes will affect this system.
Wireless as well as Over-the-Top (OTT) applications will have to support text to 911. The expectation is that applications that exist on broadband will support bounce-back. Even with the many unknowns, Furth said he feels good about the number of public safety answering points (PSAPs) that have been willing to tackle text to 911 on a trial or operational basis.
He reassured the room text to 911 is a priority of his bureau.
Accuracy and Reliability
Another issue in the 911 realm is location accuracy. Furth explained that the current Phase 2 rules (revised in 2011) focused primarily on outdoor locations. This made sense several years ago, as most wireless use occurred while people were away from their home or work structure.
Fast forward to today, when many citizens no longer even have a landline and do all their communication from wireless devices, oftentimes indoors. Although recent testing in San Francisco looks promising, Furth explained, "There will need to be more technological breakthroughs to get where we want to be with indoor."
Moving from accuracy to reliability, the FCC has faced intense discussion around the widespread 911 failures following the June 2012 derecho storm. Avoidable planning and system failures were cited as contributing factors. A final report has been submitted to the Commission, and next steps are being considered. After Furth's presentation, he opened the floor for questions.
One audience member asked, "PSAPs are becoming an ecosystem unto themselves. Where is accountability in an outage with so many different players?"
Furth assured her the FCC "sees themselves still being involved," although they are unsure what role they will play.
Again, there are still a lot of questions and unknown elements as public safety moves forward in this technological age. A common thread between the FCC and the public safety professionals in the room seemed to be providing reliable and accurate response to the emergency needs of the community.

When Elisabeth arrived in Paris she was willing to comply with all the demands for the photo-shoot, but only after she had seen the Eiffel Tower.
HEGRE-ART had paid for her trip. Top level photography needs time and time is money. Elisabeth's bottom lip dropped when she learned that sightseeing wasn't on the agenda - or in the contract. This momentary pout was a picture in itself and Monsieur Hegre submitted to the pressure.
It was the 18 year olds first foreign journey from Poland and with his stylists in tow, Petter took her on a guided tour through the City of Light. It was a wise decision. Elisabeth smiled all day and that smile is infectious. Throughout the shoot her youthful passion beams out bright and clear in every shot.
She doesn't work out or play sports, but dances, and her series in a Paris dance studio at the bar naked but for her knee socks is a joy to behold.
|Nick France

Elisabeth The Ballerina sexy petite ballerina!!!
|papafarang United States
Wunnerful Toe to Head Shot ... ... at about 7m15s (there was also a stunning earlier pan with her standing). Even the socks added to the sensuous drama. A nice slow pan lasting 18 seconds (a second pass even closer up and from above would have been mouthwatering) yet for a 10m clip, it could easily have had more full length pans. She may not have been a 10 (cloer to an 8) but those few sections where petter was at his best sure increased her score.
|wayne United States
she is so hott! Any way I can send my ole lady to Poland on a one for one exchange? She looks kind of like Mary Kate Olsen, only Mary Kate wishes she looked that good.
|fasteddie United States
excellent color, excelllent quality, elizabeth better than ever
|eric Netherlands
ballerina ooow ballerinas get me more of them!
|TIMOTHY DARULA United States
SHADOW DANCING Elisabeth: Is a hottie!. She has a gorgeous body, her up-turned nipples and full-breasts are a real winner. The fact that she Is only 18 Is a plus also, that way she will be around for a longtime. She has an energy that will make her a wonderful model, hopefully for years to come. Her fuzzy beaver Is also a plus, because not many models are keeping the hair down there.

Extra Dodge or Parry turns 69% hits (normal blocks) and 38% hits (crit blocks) into 0% hits. It is most definitely worth using.
Ok......if im ctc capped and i get procs like windwalk this pushes out my mastery and takes me well above the ctc cap with dodge.....question ive got here is can i take windwalk off any replace it with a dps increase enchant ??
A friend of mine has shown me a artical on EJ that kinda gives this impression ?
Extra Dodge or Parry turns 69% hits (normal blocks) and 38% hits (crit blocks) into 0% hits. It is most definitely worth using.
Is this for pala's also ?
Yes. Procing dodge/parry over the CTC cap is ok. proccing mastery above thew CTC caps is kinda meh for warriors and totally worthless for paladins. Passively being above the CTC cap for either class is lazy and really indicates you should regem.reforge better to bring you closer to the cap
Being more than about 0.2-0.3% over the cap is lazy because you could get closer to 102.4% with reforging/different gems
I balance my CTC with the 90 dodge food. This has three advantages: Fish Feast buffs it. The stand-alone food is dirt cheap (I picked up 40 stacks for 1g20 per stack in the summer). It isn't as much of a loss if you die and get CR'd as if you were using the 90 mastery food.
I actually meant passively as in without any tempory buffs or procs (wind walk, trinkets shield block, etc) but with things like kings/shout/food and elixir (if you use them), though Dreador's definition makes better sense. I wouldn't gem reforge around being CTC capped unbuffed, as that's a fair whack itemization wasted when I am fully buffed (what fully buffed means depends on your raid group, though as its only kings, battle shout and food it shouldn't be difficult to acquire).
Is there any way to tell what you'll be at for CTC with buffs? I'm considering "buffed" something simple like you stated, mastery/stamfood, kings, and battle shout. Right now, I sit at 100.48% CTC unbuffed and wanna know when I can start re-gemming into some Stam.

Is there any way to tell what you'll be at for CTC with buffs?

PLAYERS: Shane Mosley, erik Morales, Julio Cesar Chavez
As he prepares for his May 5 bout with Shane Mosley, WBC light middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will share his thoughts with us on a weekly basis. In this week's installment, Alvarez talks about growing up in Mexico and his desire to join his country's greatest boxing legends. Q: How important is it to you to represent Mexico on Cinco de Mayo in the co-feature on May 5? Canelo Alvarez: Mexico is my home and always will be. I am very proud of my Mexican heritage and consider it a strong part of my identity. Marco Barrera and Erik Morales and Julio Cesar Chavez are just some of the Mexican fighters I know our community looks up to. I intend to be among these men. I don't lose, so no matter what day I'm fighting on, I'm giving my all to win. Even in my toughest fights, failure has never been an option. I think this fight is especially exciting for all the fans. Being a role model for the Latino community is very important to me, and I am filled with pride each and every time I win. I grew up on my family's farm, learning to horseback ride, and otherwise keeping myself busy when I wasn't fighting. I am blessed to have had such a fortunate upbringing in Juanacatlán. Honestly, I can't imagine growing up anywhere else because it is that upbringing that has made me the man I am today. My family is what keeps me grounded and keeps me focused on what I have accomplished as well as what I have left to do. They are a part of me as much as I am of them. You know I always enjoy fighting in Mexico, but right now I am focused on the May 5 match. I have never been so ready in my professional career. I have no doubt it will be a fight to remember and I will leave victorious. "Ring Kings: Mayweather vs. Cotto" and Canelo Alvarez vs. Sugar Shane Mosley will take place May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. Episodes two and three of HBO's all-access reality series "24/7 MAYWEATHER/COTTO" debut on Saturdays -- April 21 (10 to 10:30 p.m. ET/PT) and April 28 (9:45 to 10:15 p.m. ET/PT) -- while the finale debuts Friday, May 4 (8 to 8:30 p.m. ET/PT), the night before the high-stakes super welterweight title bout.

Water Investing? Dive into Calvert's New App!
Amid Growing Climate and Drought Impacts, Sustainable Investing Leader Calvert Launches 1st Water Investing App; New Push to Increase Awareness of Water Challenges, Investment Opportunities
In a first for the world of sustainable and responsible investing (SRI), Calvert Investments is making available to investors and financial advisors the Calvert Water Investing App.
With ambitious goals for educating individuals and financial professionals about the global water crisis, the interactive and information-rich Calvert Water Investing App is available to download on both Apple and Android mobile devices.
With rising concerns about climate change, the spread of drought conditions, and concerns about inadequate or crumbling water infrastructure, interest is growing in water as an investing opportunity. As explained in a new Calvert Investments' white paper, "Quenching the World's Thirst for Water," water-related infrastructure alone will require $22 trillion globally over the next two decades.
Calvert Vice President of Marketing, Matt Alsted said: "Water is the sustainability issue that transcends social values. It's in the press every day and affects everyone. Yet investors are only beginning to recognize the linkages between water sustainability, economic value, and the investment opportunity in companies creating innovative water product and service solutions. The Calvert Water Investing App is one part of our strategy to inform, engage, and activate relationships between investors and their financial advisors in the water theme. For us, success is about not only helping clients recognize investment opportunities but also enabling clients to be part of the solution to key sustainability challenges."
The first-of-its-kind app is a logical next step for Calvert Investments, home in recent decades to many of the most important innovations in SRI. One example of Calvert's leadership: the Calvert Global Water Fund (CFWAX) was launched on September 30, 2008, in response to challenges and opportunities presented by the global water crisis. The fund now has $285 million in assets under management and boasts a solid performance record.
The Calvert Water Investing App features the following five key elements:
- "The Daily Drip"–a roundup of weekly news about water-related issues of interest to investors and financial advisors.
- "Play"–allows users to "submerge" and interact with their own photos.
- "Learn"–the place to get up to speed on the facts about global water challenges, environmental impacts and view a short water film.
- "Views"–expert commentary and analysis from Calvert on key water issues, including daily tweets from Calvert water analysts
- "Invest"–facts and performance updates about the Calvert Global Water Fund and the portfolio management team.
The Calvert Global Water Fund (CFWAX) has been a solid performer in its first five years. The average annual total returns for A shares at net asset value (NAV) for the period ending September 30, 2013 are: 17.23 percent (year to date); 25.81 percent (one year); 14.62 percent (three years); and 9.47 percent (since inception). This compares to the Lipper Global Natural Resources Fund Index for the same periods as follows: 9.43 percent; 9.36 percent; 3.29 percent; and 2.12 percent. (Sources: Calvert Investments and Lipper.)
Calvert Investments is the leading investment management company using sustainability as a platform to create value for investors. Serving financial advisors and their clients, retirement plans and insurance carriers, and institutional investors, the company offers a broad array of equity, bond, and asset allocation strategies, featuring integrated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research and corporate engagement. Strategies are available through mutual funds, sub-advisory services, and separate account management. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Calvert Investments had more than $12 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2013. www.Calvert.com
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns for periods of less than one-year are not annualized.
Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. By concentrating its investments in the water sector, the Fund is subject to the risk that a downturn in the water-related sector would impact the Fund more than a fund that does not concentrate in this industry, and the Fund therefore may be more volatile than a typical mutual fund. In addition, foreign investments generally involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations.
For more information on any Calvert fund, please contact Calvert at 800.368.2748 for a free summary prospectus and/or prospectus. An institutional investor should call Calvert at 800.327.2109. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of an investment carefully before investing. The summary prospectus and prospectus contain this and other information. Read them carefully before you invest or send money. Not all funds available at all firms.
Calvert mutual funds are underwritten and distributed by Calvert Investment Distributors, Inc., member FINRA, and subsidiary of Calvert Investments, Inc.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
Saw this bag in a Patagonia store in Portand and thought it would be ideal for trips to the gym. And, it is--perfect size, looks great, and the water-resistance feature is helpful for wet/damp clothing. Product comes in a large selection of colors too. Only drawback is that it does not have a shoulder strap--that would be useful if you are carrying other things at the same time.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
I really like using this bag for it's intended purposes. It's durable and the size is really perfect for a pair of shoes, 2 changes of cloths and smaller items within it. I like the quality of the zippers, the handles on each side are really excellent as well for carry options or clicking in carabiners for eventual or actual usage on items that are not terribly too heavy. I also like the two zippered internal mesh pockets and the external four daisy chains for some additional gear to hook onto the outside. I selected the Mission Olive color and like that it's a really dark foresty green. If you need a small duffel, this is a really nice option and I hope to get years of use from it.
Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45L:
There are heavier duffel bags out there for trips via yak, but if you travel by plane or auto, this is the quintessential duffel to own. Weighing next to nothing, it will hold clothes for a week. Construction is first-rate. The 45L is ideal minimalist carry-on luggage and can work as a gym bag, also. After much deliberation I selected olive.

16 Ingenious IKEA Hacks
Custom furniture is expensive. And let's face it, while many of us have custom tastes, we don't have custom budgets. Enter, IKEA— the Swedish furniture company that designs and sells furniture and accessories, most of which are ready-to-assemble— and at a fraction of the cost you'd pay to custom order at a traditional furniture store. The beauty of IKEA's designs is their simplicity— which makes them utterly and beautifully hackable into an array of other things. The IKEA hack has become a bona fide design category all on its own. Whether you're working with a bookcase, desk, or dresser, there's more there than what meets the eye. A kitchen cart can deftly masquerade as a bathroom vanity. That candle dish is just begging to be a bird feeder. Be it Rast, Lack, or Expedit, many of IKEA's designs can be modified, reworked, finished, refinished, or all out tricked out for your unique needs. We've found some of the coolest and best IKEA hacks from around the web. Which one will inspire you to do your own IKEA DIY?

Study: Airports with designated smoking areas more polluted
WTOP's Andrew Mollenbeck reports from Dulles International Airport.
WASHINGTON - Travelers passing though Dulles International Airport this holiday season may be at higher risk of inhaling secondhand smoke.
Dulles International is one of five major airports with designated smoking areas. Air pollution is five times higher in airports with inside smoking areas compared to those that are smoke-free, according to a study released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Even in the areas adjacent to the smoke-permitted areas, the air quality levels were five times the levels in the smoke free airports," says Brian King, an epidemiologist with the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health and co-author of the study.
"Essentially what this document [says] is that secondhand smoke is present in the areas outside the smoke-permitted rooms."
In the study, air pollution levels inside designated smoking areas -- including restaurants, bars and ventilated smoking rooms -- was 23 times higher than levels in smoke-free airports.
"The findings in today's report further confirm that ventilated smoking rooms and designated smoking areas are not effective," Tim McAfee, CDC director of Office on Smoking and Health, wrote in a statement.
"Prohibiting smoking in all indoor areas is the only effective way to fully eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke," McAfee says.
Secondhand smoke can cause heart disease, lung cancer, respiratory problems and asthma attacks among children.
At Dulles, smoking lounges are provided near gates B38, B75, C4 and D30.
Other airports that allow smoking in designated areas include Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Denver International Airport and Salt Lake City International Airport.
About 15 percent of all travel within the United States occurred at those five airports last year, according to the CDC.
Smoking is banned on U.S. domestic and international flights, but there is no federal policy that mandates airports to be smoke-free.

Friday, March 01, 2013
One of Australia's most recognisable landmarks - The Sydney Harbour Bridge has now turned 81.
Even the Google doodle has change to a representation of the bridge to mark this auspicious occasion.
On March 19, 1932, controversial NSW Premier Jack Lang opened the bridge, the opening of which was interrupted famously by Francis de Groot riding his horse in full military regalia and using his sabre to slash the ceremonial ribbon for Lang had his chance.
Lang was about to cut the ribbon to formally open the bridge, when de Groot rode forward, drew his ceremonial sword and, reaching down from his mount, flamboyantly slashed the ribbon, declaring the bridge open "in the name of the decent and respectable people of New South Wales."
The bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney CBD and the North Shore. It is often lovingly referred to as "The Coat-hanger" because of it's unique design.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge still holds the Guinness World Record for the widest long-span bridge – something we can all be proud of that it holds this record after 80 years of faithful service.
An estimated 469 buildings on the north shore, both private homes and commercial operations, were demolished in order to allow construction to proceed, with little or no compensation being paid.
The standards of industrial safety during construction were poor by today's standards. Sixteen workers died during construction, but surprisingly only two from falling off the bridge. Several more were injured from unsafe working practices undertaken whilst heating and inserting its rivets, and the deafness experienced by many of the workers in later years was blamed on the project.
We all wish our favourite octogenarian a very happy birthday.

Nature Valley Grand Prix 2008 – Wrap-up
June 13, 2008 at 9:38 pm 2 comments
I downloaded my heart-rate data this afternoon and was surprised to find my time trial time was slower than I had thought it was, and it turns out that with Ben Jacques-Mayne's incredible TT performance, I missed the time cut by 14 seconds. So my racing is over. I am hoping to get a couple good rides in while the weather is nice and then we'll be heading back down to Alabama. Thanks for checking in on my racing.

"I have to admit, this was the BEST vacation I ever had. The tour was nothing less than Fantastic! The hotels were great, the guides were great, the transportation was great, the places were great, the people were great, the food was great and last but not least China, itself was out of this world. I'm so glad I booked this tour and would recommend this to anyone. Thanks so much for all your help, your interest and your recommendations. Steve in China was so attentive, he called constantly to make sure everything was fine. We really had a fabulous time and even my jaded husband who normally only seems to care about where the nearest golf course is, was impressed and had a wonderful time.
Thanks again, and unto the next vacation (although I don't know how we would top this one!!)

"The tour was absolutely fabulous. It all started with the planning. Kathryn graciously accommodated our tight schedule and multiple needs, including a mid-trip change in plans. The tour guides and drivers were all great and extremely knowledgeable. The accommodations and meals were fantastic. I was apprehensive about going to China not knowing the language but it worked out great!"

All 3 of these were great. The guides were particularly good and in this case really made the trip a pleasure. Overall a great trip. Thanks for all you did."

Wish we had more time. Thailand met our expectations but our expectations for Cambodia were low and they exceeded them. Loved the places selected for the included lunches. Certainly would use Kensington again"

"I highly recommend Kesington Tours. The planning of our trip to Cambodia was outstanding. Our advisor Alexis Mayer was unbelievably patient, knowledgeable and responsive. We planned the trip in every possible detail and Alexis was extraordinary during the whole process. Once we were in Cambodia, we had a tiny issue with the car. I was able to get in contact with Alexis right away and the problem was instantly solved. The trip itself was fantastic. Everything was very well planned and perfectly organized. The local guides and drivers were great. The hotels were very well chosen.
Great trip. I would definitely travel again with Kensington Tours."

Though, to be honest, I do think that [item]Bonefist Gauntlets[/item] with +12 Stam gems and +2% Threat enchant would make a very sexy all around pair of tank gloves. I plan on getting them eventually and using them for my main set once I am done getting other things with my badges. If you just want one solid pair of gloves for most encounters and can make up for the loss of defense in that slot, I would suggest giving it a try too.

Tom Cleverley is a highly-rated young midfielder who has made giant strides towards establishing himself as a regular for both club and country.
The Basingstoke-born youngster rose through Manchester United's youth system to become interim Reserves captain, and was nominated for the prestigious Denzil Haroun Reserve Player of the Year award in 2007/08.
Following successful loan spells at Leicester, Watford (he won the club's Player of the Year award in 2009/10) and Wigan Athletic, Tom made his United debut in August 2011 and was soon a feature of the Reds' exciting start to the season. But a serious foot injury sustained at Bolton kept him out until October and a further setback sidelined him until February. He was then used sparingly in the run-in and ended the campaign having made 15 first-team appearances.
He performed admirably for Great Britain at the 2012 summer Olympics, showing glimpses of the sort of form he would go on to produce for United in the 2012/13 campaign. Capped by England for the

What can I see, this question is not very popular today. What, in fact, I found is just for photo. But I need it for video.
My ideal of picture is 70s period of Antonioni ( The Passenger, Zabriskie Point, Blow Up).
Here are some examples:
Today, faces between professional and amateur cinema are blurring. For example, Canon 7D makes good picture, but it's not quite what I need.
Please, see, that today we can make old look movies:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlAMj...Wft6vg&index=1 (it's very cool and looks like what I need)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwg9epx-Gpw (see, how does Mitsubishi look on 0.33 ))
What actually do cinema being cinema? Camera + lens filters + depth of field + adobe filters? I am beginner and don't know... But I can see difference between brazilian telenovelas, live broadcast of news, glossy Anna Karenina. But can't explain it in the words. Antonioni's movies are not glossy, they have poor colors and video is as if slow.
P.S. Please, don't offer Krasnogorsk, it's not digital camera.

We've seen a slew of wireless speakers lately. Apparently, a lot of people have music on smartphones and tablets—and they must share with the world. JBL just released another option that's as easy as plugging something into an outlet.
That something is the JBL SoundFly, a speaker that plugs into any available wall outlet. Once it's plugged in, users can use the power of Bluetooth or AirPlay to stream content to the speaker from any compatible smartphone or tablet.
Now, you're going to have to choose between Bluetooth or AirPlay. The JBL SoundFly Air offers support for Apple AirPlay, while the JBL SoundFly BT works with Bluetooth. Sadly, there is no "both" option.
Besides the tech, the two models are pretty much the same. However, the JBL SoundFly Air does add in the AnyRoom feature, which allows users to sync up to four JBL SoundFly Air speakers for multiroom listening. Otherwise, neither model needs a shelf of wires. The SoundFly doesn't even have buttons. Instead, the JBL logo doubles as touch-sensitive control. Both also have free apps available.
JBL says that both SoundFly models are now shipping. The JBL SoundFly Air has an MSRP of $199, with the SoundFly BT coming in at $179.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Post subject: To Bolt or Not To Bolt
That is my question. Moving from the Hydran Kingdom (Where Everything is Expendable) to the realm of plasmas (The Gorn Confederation: Slow but Steady, The Romulan Star Empire: Hide and Seeking Weapons, and The Interstellar Concordium: Badges? We Don't Need No Stinking Badges) I am tactically challenged. However even in my Plama Newbiness, I get the feeling bolting is not a good return on my energy investment.
Am I wrong? If so, please explain. If I am, why?

Bolting is like all things situational, I had a scenario on an open map where my opponent flew his remaining ship away at speed 32, we were 12 hexes apart, I followed and bolted anbolted and bolted, after about 10 turns I got some power hits and got him, it took a long grind.

In an SFB scenario I tried two weeks ago, a Fed CL overran my cloaked WE and did all sorts of mean things to my rear shield. I had gotten him to hit a hidden nuclear space mine on the way in, so his ship had lost most of his padding internals. As he turned to run and re-load his photons, I decloaked and realized I was never going to get my plasma R to hit him with any really kick once he got the speed up. (He also had a Wild Weasel option since it was SFB, so I really lacked a way to threaten him with my single launcher.)
I opted for the bolt, and got lucky with my roll, and I hit his weak back shield for 25 points of damage and got about half of it in. It was enough to break his will and get him to disengage.
I tend to use the bolt in FC and SFB when I see my opponent turning tail and kicking up the speed and it could be another turn or two before we're passing each other again. I also use it when I'm limited in launchers (in this case, I only had one) and I know he will be able to heavily reduce my Plasma R on its way in.
I'm just getting into Romulans in FC, so I'm also figuring things out as I go. You normally find me on the Tholian or Hydran fronts.

Bolting plasmas for me is based on the type of launcher used.
I would never bolt an S or R simply because I do not care to gamble that much energy on a die-roll and I feel the destructive potential of an R is wasted on a bolt. (why bolt a Plas-R when I could shotgun it instead for a far greater effect?)
However, I will freely bolt Plas-F & G due to the low energy costs and reduce arming time and the still decent amount of direct fire damage I get in return, also the odds of a hit are decent balance vs the amount of energy expended. Most plasma armed ships have F or G launcher in addition to the larger S or R launcher, and by bolting the smaller launcher, you gain a flexibility you would not have if you use them all as seekers (beside, F and G do not have much longevity, and a lot of their destructive potential gets lost simply on dissipation over time, and direct fire from point defenses).

It is most definitely a situational thing, based on not only what things are like now but what they will be like over the next two turns.
In an FC game, I was flying A Gorn CL versus a Romulan KR. We had just exchanged phaser shots and he had hit me with one of his Plasma-S on shield 3. He had turned away and was about to cloak.
I was closing and getting ready to anchor him at the start of the next turn. He was fading fast and I saw I couldn't catch him in time nor would a launched plasma reach him in time. So, my only option was to bolt a torp.
The torp hit and did a good amount of internals. It allowed me to stay close and wait for him to uncloak.

Old thread but wanted to comment. As everyone has said, it is situational. I'll give you a good scenario. I was in a tourny battle couple of years ago. I was playing the KR Cruiser and my opponent was a Neo-Tholian. Now web can be pretty hard on BP. The Tholian I was facing I had played before using a different ship (Klink if I remember correctly). Even though I won with the Klink, it wasn't easy and my Tholian opponent knew how to place web.
So after he had set up his free-standing web he started getting into position. I managed to skirt the web and as I was coming around he was somewhere in the neighborhood of R5 or so. It was a gamble to be sure, but I bolted everything and fired all bearing phasers (by the way, Klingon and KR ships are fantastic when it comes to phaser arcs...I mean FANTASTIC). Anyway, like I said, it was a gamble. If I missed with most/all of the bolts then it would be three turns of the Neo-Tholian pounding me with disruptors while I try to recharge. If I hit with all/most he wouldn't be expecting it and it would really take him off his game plan and do quite a bit of damage. Four bolts (2xS and 2xF) yields 50 points of damage not counting phasers. Well, I hit well. I fair piece of damage through the now down shield. Took out some weapons, power etc. So the next three recharge turns weren't as big of an issue as he was hurt and not wanting to mix it up at close range.
Just one example of a time that it might be useful.

I missed this thread, so thanks for reviving it. Interesting that the R-bolt was poo-poo'd. It's actually by far the best 'bang-for-buck' bolt in terms of expected damage for energy spent, and outside range 3, it's quite decent compared to other direct fire weapons in term of efficiency. From range 4-8 the R-bolt's damage efficiency is comparable to a hellbore's (just treating HB total damage as a lump sum). At range 9-10 only the PPD and Phaser-4 are more energy efficient than the R-bolt (but they are both way better).
edit - doh! Now I see why I missed this post. I don't read the SFB section. The 'new posts since last visit' feature tricked me. The above is only true in FC. Sorry.

On the R-torp for SFB. It's like a salvo of OL'd photons; if they hit then their a great weapon. If they miss then the weapon sucks
Plasma is great...if it can catch and hit the opponent. That isn't as easy as one would think. It can be drawn out and it can be weakened with phaser fire. So a bolt that nets 25 points of damage all by itself...if it hits can really throw a monkey wrench into the opponents gears. WW don't affect it and it can't be weakened by phaser fire. Those are two big considerations. A 25-point slap in the face (or rear) can go a long way towards taking down a shield (or even taking it down and doing internals depending on the shape it is in). It may dissuade an overrun or make running a real nightmare if you can use phaser fire to snip through the down shield.
So bottom line is this; 50 points is great...if it has a chance to hit. 25 points beats 0 if the torp can't or won't hit with enough juice to make a difference.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
I love these blinds. They don't look or feel cheap like the aluminum blinds that were in here previously. The new blinds were super easy to install, and they look great!
At first, I was skeptical about ordering a venetian blind online. It was difficult enough trying to find a blind in every one of my local stores. Select Blinds took this confusing job and turned it into a very pleasant experience. Not only was I able to order EXACTLY the size and color I wanted, but the delivery time was very fast, and free. In the future, I will look no further than Select Blinds.
Great product; shipped promptly and safely. Will be a return customer!
I am very pleased with my purchase. Was replacing old blinds and these look great. The fit is beter than the original. They were received in a timely manner.
This is the 3rd time that I have used Select Blinds, and once again I am extremely pleased! Internet shopping has never been easier or more efficient. The blinds fit great, and they look awesome. Great job Select Blinds!
Superior Quality Built to Last: 1" Select Dynasty mini blinds are ideal for commercial office buildings, apartments, and homes on a budget. They are offered in a wide variety of heavy duty 8 gauge aluminum slats and provide maximum strength by featuring a heavy-duty line of stamped metal components that are clinched in place within the head-rail channel. All aluminum slats have a signature pre-coating, which acts as an anti-static dust repellent. Dynasty blind slats are made from 80% recycled aluminum, making them environmentally friendly. To ensure product reliability, all aluminum blind head-rails and bottom-rails are made of phosphate treated steel, finished with a vinyl primer and a top layer of polyester baked coating. Dynasty mini-blinds feature superior quality, durable metal components, without a shocking price tag.

I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston. As The Singer's Great Hits Album Is Released, We Look Back...
> Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits! - How Will I Know
How Will I Know is over 25 years old but STILL packs out any dancefloor, any time of the night. The feel-good classic was taken off her first album, Whitney Houston, in 1985.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Another classic from Whitney, this time from 1988. Who hasn't sung a tipsy karaoke rendition of this at an office Christmas party? Hmm?
Queen of the Night
When The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack album was released in 1992 - featuring this song - it broke the record for the most one-week sales twice and made chart history. It also saw a new, edgier side of Whitney.
I Will Always Love You
Simply one of the greatest songs of all time. Sure, Dolly Parton takes credit for penning and first releasing this song, but Whitney's stunning cover, synonymous with The Bodyguard, 1992, is one of the best selling singles of all time by a female artist.
My Love Is Your Love
This track was taken from the 1998 album of the same name, Whitney's fourth studio album and her first in eight years. It was soulful, urban and this track became Whitney's third best-selling single ever.
Heartbreak Hotel
No, not the Elvis song. Also taken from her My Love Is Your Love album, this cool R&B track featured Faith Evans and Kelly Price. Hawt.
It's Not Right But It's OK
Whitney won the 200 Grammy Award, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for this 1999 track. It reached number one in the US and Spain and number 3 in the UK.

Born and raised in Oakland, California, Cinton Jackson is the youngest of 3 and the only son. An imaginative child inclined to perform, Clinton stood empty handed at "Show & Tell", told his jokes and officially claimed his identity as a stand-up comic at the age of 9.
After graduating from high school Clinton began to hone his craft in San Francisco's thriving comedy scene, quickly moving up the ranks to become one of the youngest headliners around. He has appeared on many stand-up comedy television shows including his own half hour special on Comedy Central and most recently The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson. When not headlining his own shows Clinton has been the opening act for such notable artist as Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, Dennis Miller, Chris Rock, and Steven Wright. Clinton has also recorded and released two full length comedy CDs, both of which are regularly featured on satellite radio comedy channels.
Following an acclaimed showing at HBO's prestigious Aspen Comedy Festival, Clinton was cast to co-star as affable science teacher "Mezz Crosby" on the WB's "Nick Freno: Licenced Teacher". Subsequent roles as teachers on shows such as the Disney Chanel's "That's So Raven" and Nickleodeon's "Taina" further showcase Clinton's trademark guy-next-door appeal with. Additional guest appearances on other sitcoms have shown that Clinton's talents definitely reach beyond the stand-up stage.
Upon signing with the Commercials Unlimited agency Clinton began to work in television commercials. With what one casting director called "a natural ability to connect" Clinton was cast to star in numerous national commercials including Jeep, Subway, Circuit City, Old Navy, 21st Century, Nissian, and AC Delco.
Stand-up remains Clinton Jackson's first love and greatest passion. In addition to comedy clubs he is very popular on the corporate event circuit, doing shows in which he often incorporates his keen ability to improvise with his audience. The San Francisco Chronicle says, "on stage Clinton Jackson moves as if he were in a boxing match delivering material that is not only hilarious to hear but brilliantly visual as well. He's good natured, clever, and engaging with a unique point of view, earning him the respect of his peers and giving him a broad cross-over appeal. "
