Project Statement
The aim of this project was to design and implement an embedded system which enables controlling of a robotic arm through the user's body gestures captured by a Kinect for Windows sensor through an Intel's Atom PC.
The list of the equipment employed is as follows:
- Kinect for Windows sensor
- Lynx6 Robotic Arm
- Atom PC
Coding Language
At first we started off by coding the Kinect program in C# and the manipulator controller program in C++, however, we then decided to have both codes in C# to achieve a simpler and possibly faster and more efficient interface between the two parts.Manipulation
The Lynx6 robotic platform was chosen to work on. Lynx6 is a 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic arm (also manipulator) designed and produced by Lynxmotion company. The first step in using any robotic manipulator is to calibrate it. Through the calibration of the robotic arm the joint angle limits are measured, the link length are precisely measured, the reachable workspace of the end-effector is worked out, and so on. One of the most important aspects of the calibration is to determine what command is required to take each servo to a desired angle. To achieve this, three sample angles for each joint servo are recorded along with their corresponding servo commands that will take the joints to those angles. These data are then used in the formation of a formula through interpolation that will map any angles within the working range of a servo to their corresponding servo commands.
For the purpose of this project where a robotic manipulator with different degrees of freedom for its every joint than the human arm's is to mimic a human arm's gestures, there was need for great deal of modifications and considerations on the raw angular data obtained from the Kinect sensor prior to communicating it to the robotic arm.
To communicate servo commands to the joints, a serial communication between the robotic arm and the Atom processor is utilized.
|Lynx6- a 6 DOF Robotic Manipulator by Lynxmotion Co.
The Microsoft's Kinect for Windows was chosen to be our sensory platform for capturing human body gestures (most particularly the right or left arm movements). To mimic human body gestures or/and receive commands through user's body movements, a series of information needed be collected from the user. The Microsoft's SDK support for Kinect provides a library of API including a particular API support for skeletal detection. The Skeleton class provided in the Microsoft.Kinect's library and its properties Joints and Position were used to obtain the spatial positions of some of the 20 detectable (supported by the SDK) human body's joints in the stand-up mode. A method was implemented in our code which takes as input arguments the positions of three joints and outputs the joint angle between them. The collected angles are then passed to the robotic manipulation section of the program for further processes to produce appropriate commands to be communicated to the robotic arm's servos at its joints. Examples of the additional processes that need be conducted on the angular data obtained from the Kinect sensor before communicating it over the serial port to the robotic arm are applying the constraints that were worked out through the full calibration. There are many constraints for an arm, be it a robotic arm or a human arm. Some of these constraints are limits of the servos, limited degrees of freedom at a joint, limited end-effector orientation, and constrained reachable workspace.
|Kinect for Windows - an RGB + Depth Image sensor by Microsoft Corp.
Note: As this is in early development, the code is not as streamlined as it could be, the code will be refined in the coming weeks.
- Program.cs holds the main method.
- Object of the class arm is create. (This has all the methods contained within it to move one/multiple servos to a specified angle.).
- Limits of the servo motors are set as well as the home position and the sleep position. (This is done in the arm constructor).
- The robot moves to sleep and then home to verify link.
- The Kinect is detected and Initialized. An event handler is attached as a frame is grabbed.
- The specific joint positions are calculated (Kinect API).
- Processing is done to get the angles between certain joint positions.
- Angle commands are then sent and translated (via the methods in the class arm.cs) to specific servo motors with the angle information one at a time.
- This repeats per frame.
Future Work
To implement the inverse kinematics in our design so that by passing the spatial coordinates, the end-effector of the robot will automatically move to that point relative to the manipulator's relative frame.
To make the inverse kinematics more efficient, a trajectory-planning algorithm, such as the rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) algorithm, can also be implemented to smooth the transitions.

Great recipe! It could handle a lot more heat than suggested. I would recommend adding a teaspoon of Sriracha paste with the rest of the sauces at the end. Instead of sugar used honey. It worked out quite nicely.
Didn't go to the Asian market. So fresh tangerine, thai chilis and siracha were substituted. I cut the beef about 1/2" thick to give my self a little leeway in keeping the meat rare, worked perfectly. Was very good, but would have been better without the subs. Lots of Prep
The recipe is a little involved and takes some prep, but it's so, so worth it. Still eating my first bites and had to stop to tell everyone here how amazing it is!
I simplified the recipe and it was still great. Omitted cornstarch, chili bean starch, sugar, peppercorns & hoisin sauce. I substituted Yakisoba sauce for the hoisin sauce and added partly steamed broccoli rabe with the green onion. We loved it!
Excellent dish! My family chowed it right down! I highly recommend doubling the recipe; my family of two adults and one toddler ate nearly the whole doubled recipe with brown rice and steamed broccoli. Other alterations: I added a clove of garlic to the beef marinade, and since I didn't have rice wine, I used one part brown rice vinegar and three parts red wine. Also, I omitted the chile and chili bean sauce and used regular black pepper. The results were fantastic! :-)
Great dish with tasty flavors, but the recipe doesn't tell you whether you need to cut the tangerine peel after you've rehydrated it. Rather than adding the tangerine peels whole, I sliced them into slivers (as you do the orange peel). I served the beef with a side of rice and steamed broccoli.

Morning Walkthrough: Shaq's still got it
The Morning Walkthrough is a set of links to Boston Celtics articles throughout the internet, designed to get your day started the right way.
Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald – "But when examining the Shaq equation and how much he's helped, be sure to factor in how much the Celtics are helping him. Even for a colossus like Shaquille O'Neal, fit is important, too. 'I knew just from watching him over the last couple of years that he'd be great in our system,' Paul Pierce said. 'I just know the way we move the ball, the way we use picks and getting guys in the right situations that he'd be perfect for us. I just look at all the opportunities Perk has had, and I just said that Shaq would be fabulous in those spots. We get him the looks, and he's just so great at finishing.' That O'Neal is willing to play his greatest hits with less time on stage speaks to his grasp of the situation. He's shooting his highest percentage while taking the fewest shots of his career at just 6.8 a game. 'I had a conversation with (coach) Doc (Rivers) about this,' Shaq said. 'The bad thing for me in my career is that I'm going to be known for the 27-10s (points-rebounds). But, you know, you can't get the 27-10s without taking 15-to-20 shots. 'But Doc told me straight up, 'Look, you're not getting 15-20 shots.' I said, 'That's cool. I understand. At 38, I understand.' The drop-off is how I'm getting my points.' Then Shaq added with a smile, 'I still got it.'"
Paul Flannery, WEEI – "As the Miami Heat continue to stumble toward something that looks like mediocrity — at least in the win column — the comparisons to the first season of the Celtics big three have started again. The Heat are 9-8 and have lost four of five with a three-game losing streak in the mix. The 2007-08 Celtics had one three-game losing streak, in February on a west coast trip, and didn't lose their eighth game until late January. In retrospect, the Celtics made it look too easy. They made it look so simple, so matter of fact, that by the end it seemed obvious. Kevin Garnett was not only the best defensive player in the league, he was also a selfless superstar. Not just willing to make the extra pass, but hardwired to always look for the open man. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce complimented each other perfectly as scorers off the wing, using different ways to attain the same means. Rajon Rondo turned out to be better than anyone dared to dream and Kendrick Perkins developed from a necessary piece of machinery into a defensive monster. But, in the end, talent wins out and putting Garnett, Allen and Pierce on the same team at this point in their careers was too perfect not to work. Only it wasn't that simple. Yes, Pierce, Garnett and Allen were ready and willing to make the appropriate sacrifices to achieve this goal, but the point that gets missed is that they still had to actually do it. On the court and in practice, on the plane and in the locker room, they had to make the relationships work. What the Celtics knew, and what the Heat are finding out now, is that it takes more than talent to become a team."
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "But with circumstances being what they are — Rajon Rondo playing with a sore left hamstring, Delonte West out indefinitely with a broken right wrist, and Celtics president Danny Ainge saying he doesn't intend to make a roster move (the Celtics are more than $13 million over the luxury tax threshold) — Bradley may have to be an option. That said, he turned 20 Friday and he only has three full practices under his belt. His ability isn't a question to coach Doc Rivers, but his handle on the system is obviously missing. Rivers said he probably knows "10 percent of what we know offensively or defensively. But he can play. 'I think defensively, as a player, I don't think he'll be a good NBA player — I think he'll be a great defensive guard,' Rivers said. 'I think he's ready for that. But as far as our schemes, that's a whole different subject. But Avery has a chance — and I don't say this often with young guys — but he has a chance to be a lockdown defender, if there is something like that at the point guard spot.' Rivers has made use of his rookies this season, leaning heavily on Erden with Jermaine O'Neal fighting knee problems, and going to Luke Harangody last week with the team in a pinch. 'I have no choice,' Rivers said. 'The other night, I didn't think we were going to have enough players the way we were going.'"
Chris Forsberg, ESPN Boston – "The Boston Celtics' bench players have been outscored by opposing reserves in eight of the team's last nine games and 11-of-16 tilts overall. On Friday, the Celtics' bench was outscored by a whopping 63-29 margin, and Boston's four chief reserves (Glen Davis, Marquis Daniels, Nate Robinson and Semih Erden) were a combined minus-52 in plus/minus on a night Boston's starting five was a combined plus-96. A bunch of statistics aren't needed to tell why this is happening. The Celtics have been playing shorthanded essentially since the start of the season, and the bench hasn't been able to develop any consistency or rhythm."
Jessica Camerato, CSNNE – "Some 19-year-old rookies could have been intimidated walking into a locker room and seeing the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Others could have tried too hard to prove themselves. Not Avery Bradley. Growing up in the Bradley home, the most important rule was respect. Avery Bradley Sr., a high-ranking Army official, wanted his son to have respect for others, whether they were his elders, his family, or his peers. Even if the younger Bradley didn't always understand it, his father's message stuck. 'I thought it was just my dad being mean all time, but I guess it was for a reason because it made me a good man today,' he said. 'I'm respectful to people and I give it all to him because when I was young, he always wanted us to be respectful and give our all with everything we did. Still to this day, that's what I do.' … 'That attitude translated on to the basketball court. Bradley won a national high school championship and was ranked the top high school player in the country in 2009. After just one season at the University of Texas, he was selected by the Celtics with the 19th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. 'Every time I'd go out, I would really compete,' he said. 'I guess I got it from my dad because the Army is so competitive. They're so serious about everything, so that was my approach when I played sports. I would take everything seriously because that's how everything was in my household.'"

Isn't that "I LOVE you BeBE" ??
Looks like someone hacked that tattoo into their own skin with a knitting needle while wearing oven gloves.

Becky, User Experience Analyst
InsureMyTrip recently ran a blog contest, in which employees were encouraged to submit posts for the blog in two categories. The following post was the winner in the "Travel Insurance and Travel News" category. Congratulations, Becky!
The start of the summer means the start of many people's vacations. While traveling is exciting and definitely something to look forward to, it can also be stressful. Flying can be a hassle, and with the recent Spirit Airlines and British Airways strikes, you become painfully aware that there are so many things that can go wrong with air travel. Travel insurance is a great tool when it comes to flying because package plans provide coverage for delayed or canceled flights. These plans also protect you in the event that your baggage is lost or delayed. And if your trip is interrupted due to a covered reason, there is coverage for that too.
If you have saved and planned for your trip for some time, chances are good you are going to go on the trip. but if something happens that you didn't expect, like someone in your family becomes ill or passes away, trip cancellation coverage will allow you to recoup your prepaid non-refundable trip costs. Also, in this time of economic uncertainty, some plans will allow you to cancel your trip if you suddenly lose your job.
Hopefully you never have to worry about using trip cancellation or travel delay coverage, and once you get to your destination you have coverage for a host of other scenarios. Even if you are not traveling to an area of the world that is known to have issues with terrorism, or civil unrest, it's still nice to know you have trip cancellation and interruption coverage in the event of terrorism in your itinerary city. Can you imagine turning on the news the day before your trip and seeing that there was an incident in the city you were about to visit? With travel insurance you could cancel your trip and use the money you got back to plan another.
Lastly, not everyone realizes that if you are traveling outside the country this summer, you most likely will not have any medical coverage under your health insurance. That's why it's a great idea to make sure you have a travel insurance policy with medical coverage in case you become ill or injured while you are traveling. Package policies also include coverage for emergency medical evacuation, so if you become so ill that you need to be transported home, you'd be covered.
Summer travel is a lot of fun, but to make sure you can only focus on the fun and not on the worries, consider investing in a travel insurance plan. If you need help picking the best one for you, give us a call at 800-487-4722. Have a great summer!

Ambiehart new year....new things!
stagecoach 2012 was out of this world. now i'm ready for next year so we can do it all over again! too much fun!
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Saturday 20 Dec 2014
By Anny Shaw. Web onlyPublished online: 12 July 2013
The US government has confirmed it is committed to restoring relations with Unesco, with the intention of resuming funding to the cultural agency. On 9 July, Barack Obama announced that the lawyer and writer Crystal Nix-Hines, who also raised funds for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, has been nominated as the next US ambassador to Unesco. If the Senate approves her post, Nix-Hines will succeed David Killion, whose four-year term is up this summer. Meanwhile, on 4 July the US jazz musician and composer Marcus Miller was appointed the Unesco Artist for Peace at a ceremony in Paris.
"This is yet another demonstration of the interest the US has for our mission, and of Unesco for an even greater co-operation with America and the Americans," says Francesco Bandarin, Unesco's assistant director-general in charge of culture.The US withdrew its funding from Unesco in October 2011 after the Palestinian Authority was accepted as a full member of the cultural agency; until then Washington provided nearly £50m a year, around 22% of Unesco's total budget. Laws passed in 1990 and 2004 currently prevent the US from paying dues to any United Nations body that accepts Palestine as a member. A spokeswoman for the State Department says the US government is currently lobbying Congress to relax legislation. "We have been working with Congress to find a solution that allows the president, where appropriate, to waive existing legal restrictions so that we can pay our financial contributions and fully participate in UN organisations that serve our national interests," she says.In April the Obama administration earmarked $77.7m of its 2014 state and foreign operations budget for Unesco, according to reports. It said that if the waiver legislation was passed, the sum would cover Unesco funding for 2014, while separate "contingency requirements" requests would cover the two years of arrears. The withdrawal of funding has divided opinion in the US, with conservatives viewing the move as an appropriate response to Unesco granting membership to a non-sovereign entity. But the Obama administration argues that its ability to make contributions to Unesco "is essential to advancing US interests worldwide and strengthening US global leadership, influence, and credibility".

This undated handout image provided by the US Postal Service shows the Hanukkah holiday stamp. The post office is set for the holidays. The agency unveiled two new Christmas stamps Thursday, and is following on Friday with new stamps to commemorate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah and the African-American celebration Kwanzaa. (AP Photo/USPS
WASHINGTON (CBS) -- President Barack Obama says Hanukkah is a story of "resilience and optimism."
He and first lady Michelle Obama held a White House reception Thursday on the sixth evening the Jewish Festival of Lights.
In the Hanukkah story, a small band of Jews rededicating a Jerusalem temple found that a one-day supply of oil kindled a flame instead for eight.
Thursday's celebration included the reciting of traditional prayers and the lighting of candles in a 90-year old menorah from a temple in Long Island, N.Y., that sustained heavy flooding during Superstorm Sandy.
Obama said the menorah is "a symbol of perseverance" and "a reminder of resilience and hope in the fact that we will be there for them as they recover."
He also reasserted America's "unshakable" support for Israel.

Second Half Comeback Falls Short at Lakeland
SHEBOYBAN, Wis. - The MLC men's basketball team was unable to take advantage of a career-high 28 points for guard Kaleb Buch in a 98-93 loss at Lakeland College Friday night.
The Knights found themselves trailing 53-39 at the half and fell behind by as many as 20 points early in the second half, but stormed back to take a one-point lead at 77-76 on a Luke Rothe lay-up from Buch.
The Knights held the lead until the Muskies tied the game at 85-85. Lakeland held a one-point edge at 89-88 heading into the final minute, but scored two quick baskets off a jumper and a fast break dunk and then held on for the win.
Buch finished with a career-best 28 points and ten rebounds, and also added five assists and four steals. He finished the game 11-16 from the field overall and 5-7 from beyond the three-point arc.
Three other MLC players joined him in doubled figures, led by Galen Holzhueter's 18 points. Luke Rothe and Austin Eisenmann added 13 and 11 points, respectively, while Ben Edmundson played another strong game off the bench with eight points on 3-6 shooting in ten minutes of action.
With the loss, MLC finished its non-conference portion of the schedule with a record of 1-10, while Lakeland improved to 8-2 with the win.
The Knights will return to action on Tuesday, January 8, when they travel to Bethany Lutheran for the start of the UMAC season.

Age, hometown: 27, San Clemente
Favorite place to surf: Hawaii
Sponsors: Vans, Jack's, Skullcandy, Electric Sunglasses, Channel Island Surfboards
Lesson learned on the Angola trip: "To be able to stay open-minded and enjoy all aspects of the journey. It's super cliché to say, but I look back and all the wrong turns were our favorite parts of it. That's how I look at all things in life. To me, I couldn't be more thankful for those experiences."
When: Tonight. A photo exhibit and music start at 7:30;
the movie shows at 9:30. Free.
Location: Molly Bloom's, 2391 S. El Camino Real,
San Clemente
Download: See the movie Nov. 20 at surfermag.com.
A longtime surf buddy of San Clemente's Dane Gudauskas had a proposition.
"It's going to be a really hard-core mission," Kepa Acero said in a phone call. "It could be really, really gnarly."
As Acero described the perfect left-hand breaks virtually untouched by anyone in the African nation of Angola, the surfer known for taking on any challenge signed on. But he had no idea where the unexpected turns of this "Endless Summer"-style surf adventure would take him.
The journey in April was documented by San Clemente filmmaker Kevin Voegtlin. The movie, "Under Desert Sun," will premiere tonight at Molly Bloom's in San Clemente.
Gudauskas is no stranger to traveling to remote surf breaks around the world; he spends nine months a year chasing waves.
But this trip was different.
When Gudauskas talks about it, he doesn't start with the size of the waves, and he doesn't tell stories of getting barreled or breaking boards. He starts his story in Texas, where Angola has a consulate that issues visas. Travelers going to the country must have a business or individual there vouch for them – a connection Acero had. Gudauskas didn't want to take any chances, so he swapped his board shorts and T-shirt for a tie, collared shirt and cowboy hat for an in-person interview.
"They rejected us," he said. "We were devastated."
They got on the phone with their Angola connection and again tried to sway the consulate employee. Finally, five minutes before closing the office, she gave them the approval stamp they needed.
Going into the trip, Gudauskas knew little about Angola. He knew about its oil and diamond production but also knew it is one of the poorest nations in the world. He learned it had had a long civil war and was unsure whether they were going into hostile territory.
So he spray-painted a big happy face on his tent.
"The only message I could send if they were going to kill me was that I was happy," he said. "I'm not there to throw bad vibes."
Gudauskas and Acero landed in the capital, Luanda, a bustling city with crowds staring as they clutched board bags and tried to figure out how to get to the coast, on the Atlantic Ocean. They ended up taking a 14-hour bus ride to an area where the surf was supposed to be pumping.
"The bus ride was an accident – it was our only option, and we didn't think it was a good one," Gudauskas said. "But it ended up being a lifetime memory."
On the bus Gudauskas encountered a random act of kindness he'll never forget. Between flights and trying to get to the bus on time, he didn't get a chance to eat. His mouth started getting dry and chalky. Out of nowhere, a woman handed him an orange.

Last night, the first episode of the reboot/sequel to Carl Sagan's acclaimed series Cosmos premiered on FOX and National Geographic Channel. I'd been anticipating this show since it was announced last year, as the original Cosmos is one of the best educational programs that has ever been produced. This show is hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, whose passion and charisma makes him an excellent communicator of scientific ideas (right up there with Bill Nye) and fitting successor to Sagan.
In this premiere episode, Tyson gives a brief tour of the solar system, recounts the story of Giordano Bruno, and introduces the viewer to Sagan's classic "cosmic calendar". The information presented in this episode is very high-level. I'm hoping that this is due to the introductory nature of this first episode, and that the remaining episodes will go into much greater depth and detail. However, I fear that the one-hour format will be too constraining for Tyson to provide any information of substance. Sagan's original series was made up of thirteen episodes each two hours long, and that format gave him the opportunity give more than just an introduction to a given topic, providing specific details on the evidences and experiments that lead to the discoveries he presented. Will Tyson have the time in later episodes to provide more information than one can get from the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article? I hope so.

I came across this article on National Geographic's website about a new XBox Live Kinect game being released by NASA called Mars Rover Landing. The game allows players to control the descent of a digital version of the real-life Curiosity Rover that is planned to land on Mars on August 5th at 10:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time.
The game itself is pretty short and pretty simple. It's a free, educational app intended for kids, so it's kind of hard for me to judge. I actually found myself more interested in the brief documentary materials that were included in the game. There's a few descriptions of the mission, the rover itself, and a video overviewing the mission as a whole. It's not anything too terribly detailed or technical, but again, it's intended for kids. So if you're a mechanical engineer and want to know about the inner workings of the rover, then you're going to have to look somewhere else.

Prometheus is a disaster of almost Phantom Menace proportions. Its script is a comedy of stupid that makes the Three Stooges look like Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein.
This movie lost me completely about 10 or 15 minutes in, when Noomi Rapace's and Logan Marshall-Green's crackpot archaeologist characters (Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Halloway, respectively) are explaining their mission to the newly-awakened crew of the Prometheus. They tell the crew (consisting predominantly of scientists) that they had discovered stone tablets all around the world that depict giant men pointing to a particular constellation in the sky, and that they believe that these tablets constitute an invitation from humanity's extra-terrestrial creators that they should visit them in space. They dismiss the possibility of coincidence by saying that a.) the art lines up exactly, and b.) the particular star cluster was too far away for any of those primitive cultures to have been able to see with the naked eye, and so aliens must have told them. The hypothesis itself doesn't upset me on its own. But when asked by a mohawked, punk geologist what actual evidence they have to believe that aliens had intelligently engineered life on earth, Shaw responds that she has none, but it is what she "chooses to believe".
These two crackpot archeologists' wild-ass hunch, thus became the basis for a trillion-dollar space expedition in which scientists and engineers were drafted into without even being told where they were going or what they were doing.
Now, if this silly setup had ended up being my only complaint with the movie, I'd let it pass, and Prometheus probably could have turned into an excellent science fiction (or space fantasy) movie. Unfortunately, Damon Lindelof's script is unbearably bad, and is completely dependent on every character (despite being scientists, engineers, and a hyper-intelligent andriod) being dumb as a rock.

My dad and I drove up to Utah today (near Zion National Park) to try to get an optimal view of the solar eclipse. And boy did we have a good view!
I managed to snap the following pictures with my cell phone (by holding solar-filtered sunglasses up to the camera lense).
Full solar eclipse.One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

According to several sources, insiders have confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch's character in J.J. Abrams' next Star Trek movie will be who everyone expected (but hoped it wouldn't) be: Khan Noonien Singh.
So it looks like we'll be seeing a pretty by-the-numbers space action movie with a singular villain.
Yep, looks like he's Khan...
This is disappointing for several reasons.
There's two ways to reboot something:
Star Trek under Abrams is trying to walk a fine line between the two. They tried retaining the original history by setting the reboot in a time-travel-induced alternate timeline (which was actually alternate before the time travel happened anyway). But they also wanted to separate themselves from the original canon as much as possible, to the extent that they fundamentally altered the development of the primary characters. Kirk grew up as an angsty delinquent without a role model father, and Spock had his home planet blown up and his species put on the verge of extinction. So they're not really the same characters, but they are shoe-horned into becoming the same characters because apparently Abrams favors "nature" almost exclusively over "nurture". Oh, and Spock Prime told them how things are supposed to happen. So much for the Temporal Prime Directive. Or is it the regular Prime Directive since it's a parallel universe that is already developing independently?

Humble suggestions for improving Dark Souls II online09/22/2014 I recently posted my much-belated review of Dark Souls II. In it, I criticized the game for having lackluster online components, but didn't go into much detail other than to say that Soul Memory seems like a non-optimal matchmaking method and that invasions are rare and reserved for elite players. I wanted to take a moment to...

Twin Perfect declares "Silent Hill Over". They don't seem to have any confidence that Vatra or any other developer will be able...

He entered the US Navy from Maryland and served during the Civil War as a crewmember on Rear Admiral Farragut's flagship USS Hartford.

Wright State Baseball Shuts Out Dayton
FAIRBORN -- Five Raider pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout as the Wright State baseball team blanked Dayton 6-0 Wednesday night at Nischwitz Stadium.
WSU scored a run in the first as Michael Timm led off with a triple to right center and came in on a sacrifice fly by Brad Macciocchi and added two more in the fourth on RBI singles from Joe Ford and Jason DeFevers.
The Raiders then broke the game open in the seventh with three runs, including an Andrew McCafferty hit that drove in Macciocchi.
On the mound, WSU starter E.J. Trapino (1-1) went the first four innings, allowing just one hit and benefitted from a diving catch by left fielder Jeff Limbaugh in the fourth to end the frame and leave two Dayton runners stranded on base.
Jack Van Horn then struck out two in two innings of work, followed by a scoreless inning from Taylor Braun. Logan Blair and Andrew Elliott then retired the side in order in the eighth and ninth, respectively, to complete the shutout.
McCafferty and DeFevers each had two hits for Wright State (29-18) , who closes out the home portion of its schedule this weekend with a three-game Horizon League series against Valparaiso, starting on Friday at 6:30. The Crusaders are the only team to defeat the Raiders in league play so far this season, taking two of three in a series in early April.

text: Recent Images HOME PAGE RECENT IMAGES CHASE REPORTS GREAT LINKS NIGHT SKY IMAGE SALES ABOUT CONTACT July 28-29, 2009 Snowy Range Trip Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Left Harney Peak around 2 thinking I could get a campsite at Glendo Reservoir by 6pm. Right on the border of South Dakota and Wyoming I see a sign that says "Elk mountain fire lookout" and I could see the tower on the mountain, so I thought, what the heck? Little did I know this was going to be a little more of a ride than I bargained for. Nothing but a steep steep road a first and I barely think my car will make it up this thing. Then once it leveled out a bit on the ridge there were huge rocks everywhere! I thought for sure I'd pop a tire. I was really glad when I passed someone else on this road, knowing that I wouldn't get stranded up here lol. It was the longest road ever, 10 miles from the highway by the road and maybe 2 miles straight distance. Went up to the top and talked to the lady for a while, pretty cool view up there. I guess I just missed a fire by a few hours, duh! The entire mountain had been burned about 7 years ago, so there were no living trees on the mountain. That was the view on top of the tower, she had a little office in there with a bunch of cool stuff, might be a boring job but at least she had internet. Heres a shot of the tower from the south ridge looking north. Then here is the road I was talking about, a little less than a one lane road with huge rocks everywhere. Kind of sad to see this area devastated by a forest fire. Although it is a unique looking mountain for that reason. Took about 20 minutes to get up this road and about 15 to get down. I finally get back on the highway after that almost 2 hour detour. Get to Newcastle and get some gas, quick check a map to see where I want to go (I didn't have a map of South Dakota or Wyoming the whole time. I thought about getting a delorme for both, but that would have cost $40. This is where the fun starts, or stops I should say. I get on 85 south at Newcastle and if you look on the map its about the most desolate road ever. So I figure I might was well get out of no where as soon as possible, so I get up to about 90 and cruise for a while, After passing a few cars I think, ehh, maybe not such a good idea, so I slow down to about 80mph. Slowing down a bit when I get closer to on coming cars just to be safe. Just as I get too comfortable and space off I see a car coming and I don't realize what car it is until it's too late. A State Trooper in a Dodge Charger in WY!! how do they afford a charger! lol. I slow down thinking awwwhhh crap. Get to the speed limit which is 65 and just keep going, he turns around. Dang it. Creeps up to me and for a while I think he might let me go because I slowed down and he was waiting forever to turn his lights on. I didn't get so lucky. Turns his lights on and I pullover. Could have been worse I suppose, but on a extremely desolate road? come on! Should have just given me a warning or something thats just dumb. Later I found out that I was at LEAST 30 miles from the nearest town, probably more like 35. I was going 79 in a 65 he said. He did lower it a little because I was wearing my seat belt and I slowed down. Wasn't a lot of money, but certainly made me mad. Then of course I'm on this desolate road still 40 miles to the next town, so I get an hour to just sit there and drive thinking about it the whole time. Let's just say spirits weren't high for this drive. I get to Glendo and I hear its $6 to get into the park, then $12 to camp. I say screw this and keep going. I figure I'd rather sleep in my car again than wake up to rain in a tent anyway. So I get back on the interstate and head south toward Cheyenne, I figure I'll sleep in a parking lot there and then camp the last night of the trip in the medicine bow forest. I soon come to an exit that says it leads to Laramie which is a lot closer to the Snowy Range than Cheyenne, it would take an hour off the drive in the morning. I opt to go to Laramie then. Via hwy 34. This was a pretty cool highway, or maybe I was just so use to seeing nothing while driving that just a little something seemed really cool. It was pretty mountainous though and there was even a thunder shower to the south that was kind of fun to watch even though it didn't produce much lightning after sunset. I got out to take a few pictures because I only passed about 8 people in 70 or so miles on this road. This shot turned out a lot better than I hoped. Handheld 1/8 of a second, so that explains a little blurriness to it. Pretty cool highway nonetheless, better than taking the interstate I'm sure. I get to Laramie after dark and find a nice parking lot to sleep in and put up some blankets to keep the light out. Only this time it sucked big time. It was cold and loud all night. Rained from midnight or so until 2 or 3am with some lightning and thunder to wake me up a few times. My feet were freezing too. I think the low in Laramie that morning was in the lower 40's or something. that is at low elevation too! I officially get "up" at 4 or 4:30 can't remember now. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to leave/warm up because I missed the best Alpenglow. But anyway. I get going and stop for gas quick, thinking Centennial,WY would be all old fashion pumps that I don't want to mess with lol. I'm just racing the sun for an hour trying to get there for the best light, end up loosing by just a little bit. Once I get into Medicine bow National forest I see something that REALlY surprises me. I see by the corner of my eye some "game" crossing the road. (there was a sign that read "game Xing next 20 miles" or whatever) It crosses right in front of me and at first I think it's just a deer but when I get closer I see its way bigger and It's a Moose! Never thought I'd see a moose here. I slam on the breaks and slap the telephoto on praying that it doesn't run off into the woods. God answered my prayer :) Not a great shot, but hey I saw a moose! Wish it had been a bull, that would have made my day. I then hurry off still racing time. I get to the parking lot and still have some good light. Just not epic light, as I was searching for. Shot a little from this spot but the light only lasted maybe 2 or 3 minutes. I decide to go park and start my hike. It's 6:20am and the temperature is 39 degrees! yikes it was cold up there, at least compared to what I'm used to in Omaha in July. I start hiking and I am just in Awe of Gods creation for a while, until I realized I was in bear country, by myself at six in the morning on a moderately used trail. I was probably scared for northing but it was pretty nerve racking for a while. I stop a few times to take some images, I kind of wish I had taken more from this side of the lakes, it's very pretty on that side. Clouds were covering medicine bow peak, which I thought would be cool to be up there in it, but I learned differently. It was roughly a mile and a half to the trailhead to summit medicine bow, or start going up the mountain. There were too many great views from the east though! That shot might be my favorite of the whole trip, The range just turned out perfect. Not only that but it looks the coolest of all the other locations in my opinion, even from the summit, although had it been clear on the summit I'm sure that view would have ruled. I then get to the "going up" part of the climb. This looked cooler in person I bet. This fog or cloud, not sure what you call it on a mountain, was trying to thin out it looked like. Here we go! Snow in July! wait, why is it red? Believe it or not this is desert dust from Arizona! Jack Brauer explains more about the dust invasion. I think this was after I tried to summit the first time. I went up and go to a point where the trail goes into a snowfield and I couldn't see the end of the snowfield due to the fog! so I figured I'd just explore the areas closer to the lakes instead. I go back down and it looks like it's going to burn off so I'm like okay now I've got to make a decision. I decide to just go back to the parking lot. But I pass a guy on the way down and he asks if I'm going up or down. I told him my story and asked if he thought the fog would burn off and he didn't think it would for a while. He went up, so I followed thinking, well at least I won't die alone, just kidding, but I figured he could lead the way and I'd find the trail. I found out I'm out of shape, took me a while longer than it took him, but I guess he does this all the time. I stop again very near the top at a snow crossing, its up on the ridge, but I don't know because I can't see it. I figure this is the end of my hike and take a fake summit picture lol. By the way this is what the trail looked like for the most part... Eventually, just before I decide to head down that guy comes back and says "looks like your going make it!" Said it was a little scary at that snow crossing, (where I thought I might die from slipping and falling 1000's of feet to my death.) I said, no kidding lol. He told me how to get to the summit from here and I went ahead and tried, sure enough! this is the geological survey marker at the summit. A few minutes after being on the summit Another guy came up, but he approached from the south, a different way than I had. Talked to him for a bit, cool guy from Laramie. He was a Nikonian too :) hard to find them these days! He told me the trail he came up was filled with great views and was probably shorter than the 4 miles back I'd already gone. I think he was wrong about the distance, but it was a nice hike back. But first the summit images. Northing but a big boulderfield at the top. It was pretty cool, but rather scary. Like you could break a leg with any step type of scary. It was cloudy went I reached the summit, but it cleared and gave some great views of clouds below! The Hike back was grueling I was exhausted. Had a few more great views that the end and met a few more hikers. This was much more enjoyable than Harney peak, probably because I started the there at 11am and this one I started at 6:20am and ended at 11:30am lol. Got to jump in another shot! This was sweet, nothing but a 1000 foot drop below me here. Tried not to get any cliche shots on this trip but I guess I did get one right at the end of the hike. I've seen this location shot on a few post cards and on the web a lot, but oh well. I could barely walk back to my car after the 9 to 10 mile 5 hour hike. I planned on shooting the waterfall afterward, but I was too tired to go to the car and get the tripod, so I just handheld again, not bad, but could have been better with the tripod. Got back and ate the last of my lunch meat in the cooler and set off for home! I wasn't game for camping when the low is 35 and I'm dead tired, instead I'll drive home 8 hours which was almost a worse idea. I got back to Laramie and took a nap in a parking lot, I knew I could never make it home without resting after that long hike. The Trip ended up great, not exactly how I hoped, but not bad at all for only $256! I'll definitely be doing this sort of thing more often. In fact I probably will be going to the wind river range in September now with a few friends, should be a good time again.
