Alphaboobies by Anthony Peters
Erotica // Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Amazing silkscreened print 'Alphaboobies' created by graphic designer, illustrator and poster artist Anthony Peters. With all of the shapes and sizes that boobies come in, I'm not surprised that an entire alphabet can be rendered by their varietal forms! Anthony lives on the South Coast of England where he spends his time making things, throwing skimming stones and walking the South Downs. These prints and many others are available in his online store.

Egon Schiele's self-portrait 1912
Erotica // Monday, May 14, 2012
Egon Schiele, (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 1918) was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity, and the many self-portraits the artist produced. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.

As part of The Death of Youth project, the gorgeously seductive model, Jess, displays a naturally beautiful and innocently provocative aesthetic. 'I photographed 100 women to further demonstrate the fantasy of this lifestyle. The majority of these women do not fit into the typical characterization of "fashion model" that dominates much of today's photography. This provided a more raw and realistic vision of this fantasy...

Weekend reading material
Thanks to Ron Bellamy for covering the Marcus Davis transfer while I took a couple days off in the middle of this week. Went to see Iron Maiden on Tuesday near Seattle and stuck around for two Cubs-Mariners games. I'll be going home to the Bay Area this weekend, for two A's-Pirates game and to watch my Dodgers trounce Bellamy's Giants on Monday, and will be back Wednesday.
Interesting news from the NCAA today pertaining to recruiting. A committee has recommended that schools not be allowed to offer scholarships until July 1 prior to a player's senior year of high school. It's very common for offers to be made and commitments accepted when recruits are juniors; Curtis White committed to Oregon as a sophomore, however, and some programs are seeking commitments from players even younger.
The reason for the recommendation, according to the link above, is that "recruits and their families said they had felt pressured to make decisions before knowing enough about the school's academic programs. Coaches also told the cabinet they were under increased pressure to 'keep up' by making offers to younger and younger players or lose out on top recruits."
Here's roster information on the new recruits who began classes Monday at Oregon. Eric Dungy and Josh Huff are listed as athletes, and my understanding is they'll begin at receiver.
LaMichael James is one of the fastest college football players in the country, and also has an outside chance at the Heisman according to oddsmakers.

Read Whole Story
The crazy train of fear prevents you from being present to what is, and it most definitely keeps you from enjoying what is here in this moment. Following these steps can get you off that train before it takes you too far.
So here you are on this threshold, where the anxiety has quieted and you're left with emptiness. If you stop moving and stop searching and find stillness, you'll touch into what wants to be known. You'll find clarity.
The "Am I gay?" question points to two of the most challenging concepts for the anxious mind to accept, especially when you're on the verge of marriage: that love is a choice and that there are no guarantees or certainties regarding the outcome of this choice.
Fear's entire mission in life is to keep you safe from the risk of loving. It sees love as a dangerous cesspool where the invisible sea creatures lurk beneath the dark surface, waiting to snatch you into their murky waters.
Research indicates is that porn's probability of becoming problematic is first and foremost directly due to one's repression reaction. It's this suppression of the desire to look at porn that boosts one's longing for it.

Boston Coaching for Completion
Social Innovation Fund Initiative
Request for Proposals
Now Available
The Boston Foundation is pleased to release a Request for Proposals for Boston Coaching for Completion, an initiative supported through the Social Innovation Fund. Boston Coaching for Completion will build on and expand Success Boston's efforts to raise post-secondary completion rates of Boston Public Schools graduates by scaling up the transition coaching intervention.

Important Dates:
Applications Due: November 25, 2014
Award Notification: March 2015
The Success Boston College Completion Initiative was launched in 2008 following the findings of a study conducted by Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies for the Boston Private Industry Council and the Boston Foundation. The study found that while the Boston Public Schools had one of the highest college enrollment rates in the country, only 35.5% of the students who enrolled in college earned an Associate's or Bachelor's degree within seven years. Distressed by these disappointing college completion rates, Mayor Thomas M. Menino challenged the city to double the college completion rate for the BPS Class of 2011 and beyond. He called a press conference and was joined by the Boston Public Schools, the Boston Foundation, the Boston Private Industry Council and University of Massachusetts Boston for the launch of Success Boston in November of 2008. In 2010, 38 Massachusetts colleges and universities accepted the invitation of Dr. Keith Motley, co-chair of the Mayor's Success Boston Task Force and Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Boston, to join the Success Boston College Completion Initiative, which aims to double the number of Boston Public Schools graduates earning college degrees, beginning with the class of 2011. Success Boston supports academic programming and college advising activities at the high school level, so that students and their families are better positioned to make informed choices. It also works closely with Boston area colleges and universities to offer graduates of the Boston Public Schools the support they need to earn a degree and be prepared to enter the workforce.

The Billionaire Mathematician
Soulskill posted about 7 months ago | from the not-enough-room-in-the-margin-for-all-these-benjamins dept.
96An anonymous reader writes Dr. James Simons received his doctorate at the age of 23. He was breaking codes for the NSA at 26, and was put in charge of Stony Brook University's math department at 30. He received the Veblen Prize in Geometry in 1976. Today, he's a multi-billionaire, using his fortune to set up educational foundations for math and science. "His passion, however, is basic research — the risky, freewheeling type. He recently financed new telescopes in the Chilean Andes that will look for faint ripples of light from the Big Bang, the theorized birth of the universe. The afternoon of the interview, he planned to speak to Stanford physicists eager to detect the axion, a ghostly particle thought to permeate the cosmos but long stuck in theoretical limbo. Their endeavor 'could be very exciting,' he said, his mood palpable, like that of a kid in a candy store." Dr. Simons is quick to say this his persistence, more than his intelligence, is key to his success: "I wasn't the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn't have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach."

A Wonderful Experience - Sioux City, IA
Dr. Gallego took everything I said into consideration when we discussed my rhinoplasty and then told me, truthfully, what he thought. I appreciate this since he obviously has more experience than me. He even spent some extra time during surgery to make sure that everything looked good. With this being my first ever surgery, I was definitely scared but he and his staff made me feel comfortable and always let me know what to expect. They even called a few days later to make sure that everything was going well.

Recently purchased a house with an enormous rhododendron in the front yard. It completely obscures the house from the street - it's almost 50' wide, runs about 20' deep and about 12' high. Though it had buds earlier in the year we had no more than a dozen actual flowers. Some buds looked healthy, others were not. We do see some buds on branches now. Must we wait until after it blooms next year? Or may we trim it back now? Seems to me we wouldn't be losing anything since so much of the plant didn't actually flower. Leaves and outer branches seem healthy, but what I can see of the interior is woody. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most people prune rhododendrons and azaleas after they bloom but before mid-June. This accomplishes 2 goals, it preserves the current seasons bloom, and insures time for the plant to produce flower buds for the next years bloom. Actually the best time to prune rhododendrons and azaleas is in March since this gives 2 extra months for regrowth. If necessary, you can remove a great deal of material. When doing this it is best to prune in March to allow time for regrowth. It is a general rule to not remove over 1/3 of the leaf area each year. This should also leave adequate buds to provide plenty of bloom. Pruning is generally used to control unsatisfactory height or width of a plant. I don't prune very often and try to limit pruning to plants which have a shape that is unsatisfactory or dead branches. If I want to cut trusses for bouquets, I always cut the tallest flowers since this helps keep the plant within bounds. Severe pruning is not uncommon with rhododendrons and azaleas. Sometimes a healthy plant can be cut to the ground and will come back, but this is very risky. Rhododendrons and azaleas have dormant buds beneath the bark, which sprout to form new growth after severe pruning. However, Richard Colbert reported that such attempts at Tyler Arboretum were only successful if the plant had enough sun light. Those in heavy shade frequently died. He recommend first opening up the shade by thinning the forest canopy. Then he recommends just removing some of the top to induce new growth at the base. Then when that new growth is established, the remainder of the top can be removed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How to grow rhododendrons and azaleas
- Posted by akamainegrower none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 16, 13 at 5:31
While it may seem as if pruning now would be a no lose proposition, it would be far better to wait and then follow rhodyman's advice. Pruning even at this late date can stimulate growth. This growth would have no time to harden off before seriously cold weather and be winter killed. You'd be left with a smaller rhododnedron, but likely one with many unsightly bare patches. What to do with huge old rhododendrons - they're usually rhododendron maximum - is a vexing problem when they've been planted too close to the house. Best approach is probably to trim back conservatively the first year to see how it responds, then more in the following two years if it regrows well. Failure to set flower buds is usually the result of too little sun, but in the case of an old negleted plant like this one a soil test is probably a good idea. It's also not clear in what way some buds looked unhealthy. This would be worth investigating as well. |

Cloud of small water droplets near ground level that is dense enough to reduce horizontal visibility to less than about 3,000 ft (1,000 m). Fog may also refer to clouds of smoke particles (smog), ice particles, or mixtures of these components. When visibility is more than 3,000 ft, the phenomenon is termed mist or haze, depending on whether it is caused by water drops or by solid particles. Fog is formed by the condensation of water vapour on condensation nuclei that are always present in natural air. The most stable fogs occur when the surface is colder than the air above. Fogs can also occur when cold air moves over a warm, wet surface and becomes saturated by the evaporation of moisture from the surface. Convection currents carry the fog upward as it forms, and it appears to rise as steam or smoke from the wet surface.

Match Preview
Sherwood pledges to keep Lamela Tim Sherwood insists Erik Lamela will not be following Jermain Defoe out of Tottenham. Spurs confirmed on Friday that Defoe had been sold to Toronto FC in a deal understood to be worth in excess of B#8million. Defoe, who has scored 142 goals for Tottenham over his two spells at the club, will move to Canada at the end of February just before the start of the Major League Soccer season. Lamela has also been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane in recent weeks. A loan move to Atletico Madrid has been mooted for the club-record signing, who has started just three Barclays Premier League games for Tottenham, but Sherwood will not let the 21-year-old leave. "He won't be leaving on loan in this transfer window. He has a big future here, absolutely," the Tottenham manager said of the Argentina international. "We know what a talented player Erik is. We also understand that players need time to settle. "He needs time to acclimatise to this country. He doesn't speak English and he isn't used to the pace of the games, especially over the Christmas period when they come thick and fast. "He is not 100 per cent fit either. He's still feeling fatigued in one of his thighs so we were very cautious with him. "We are going to take it nice and steady with him. I really want to put him on the stage when he's ready to perform, rather than let people judge him when he's half-cocked." Given that this is a World Cup year, the move is something of a gamble for Defoe, who has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Toronto. The Canadian club, who are managed by Defoe's former team-mate Ryan Nelsen, average gates of around 18,000 per home game. They finished second bottom of the Eastern Conference last season and count 33-year-old former Newcastle defender Steven Caldwell and ex-Manchester United youth product Richard Eckersley among their ranks. Defoe has rarely featured for England in recent months, but Sherwood is sure the 31-year-old can still make it into Roy Hodgson's 23-man party for Brazil. "Jermain has been immense. He is one of the best strikers this league has ever seen," Sherwood added. "His scoring record for club and country is second to none and long may that continue. I see him still having a future for England in the World Cup in the summer. "I think he would (still get in the squad). That instinct of scoring goals is never going to leave Jermain Defoe. He needs to wait until his legs have gone and they're far from gone at the moment." Defoe has recovered from a hamstring problem in time for Saturday's London derby against Crystal Palace and he will be available for the following eight games. Ten first-team players were unavailable for the north London derby defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup through injury, but Andros Townsend, Defoe and Sigurdsson are back for the Palace match. Lamela (thigh) is a doubt. Palace manager Tony Pulis hopes to carry the confidence of an away victory in the FA Cup to Tottenham. Pulis fielded a near full-strength side in last Saturday's 2-0 win at West Brom to secure a fourth win in nine matches in charge since succeeding Ian Holloway as boss. The triumph was in contrast to relegation rivals West Ham, who lost 5-0 at Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup and 6-0 at Manchester City in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg. The Hammers' two highs of the season have come at White Hart Lane in the Premier League - they have won once in 13 league games since beating Spurs 3-0 on October 6 - and League Cup, and Palace will aim to emulate the success on Saturday. Pulis refused to criticise managers who got their comeuppance after fielding weakened teams in the FA Cup, but knows the importance of momentum. He said: "Winning is everything in sport, especially professional football. You win games and everything is different. "We've got ourselves a little bit more organised. They (the players) know what I want from them week-in, week-out. That's been the difference." The Eagles have been revived by Pulis and are two points ahead of West Ham entering this weekend's fixtures. Three of Palace's wins in the last 10 games - including under caretaker Keith Millen at Hull on the day Pulis' appointment was confirmed - have come away from home. "Watching the team win away from home gives you confidence," added Pulis, whose side also won at Aston Villa. "Although you need to win your home games, we have the same amount of away games coming up. "To be able to go into those games knowing you can win games away from home is important." Pulis, though, knows defeating a Tottenham side left reeling by FA Cup elimination by North London rivals Arsenal will be a stern challenge for his side. "If you're looking at it from outside, you'd expect Tottenham to win the game and rightly so," he added. "How much money they've spent, the wages, the facilities and how established they've been in top-flight football for a long time. "It's going to be a very difficult 90 minutes, but we go there with great hope. "We'll work hard and we'll give it the best shot we can." Pulis will assess a number of players with undisclosed minor knocks on Saturday, when striker Cameron Jerome could return up front. Jerome missed last weekend's FA Cup win at West Brom with a knee injury.

Sinton rolls over Robstown
SINTON - Sinton might be trying to smooth out a few rough edges before district play begins, but the Pirates football team appears to be carrying the same identity it always has under coach Tom Allen.
Sinton forced two turnovers with Robstown in the red zone Friday night, while its offense delivered a consistent, deliberate effort. The first-half highlight for Allen was an 18-play drive that took almost 10 minutes off the clock, giving the host Pirates a 14-point lead en route to a 35-14 victory over the Cotton Pickers.
Robstown (2-2) had cut Sinton's lead to 14-7 early in the second quarter when the Pirates took the field at their own 20. Nine minutes, 27 seconds later — after 18 snaps — Sinton (4-0) was in the end zone, converting its second fourth-down play of the drive when Anthony Banda hauled in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Carson Cave.
"The 18-play drive, that's what we want to be. That's our football team," Allen said. "If we can do stuff like that, keep the football away from people Robstown's dangerous and that keeps them off the field. We have a few things to work on before district, but that's the type of team we want to be."
The Pirates were steady on offense, scoring on four of their first five possessions. The team ran the ball 35 times, with only three carries — one by Cave, one by Keith Garcia and one by John Guzman — going for more than 10 yards. The passing game delivered only one pass of 20 yards, with six of Cave's 10 completions going for 10 yards or fewer.
Sinton committed two penalties and did not have a turnover.
"We're not flashy," Allen said. "We're just grunt-type kids who come to work every day."
The Pickers had some flash, breaking nine rushing plays of 10 yards or greater. But Robstown also had three costly miscues.
The first came with the Pirates ahead 7-0 in the first quarter. The Pickers drove to the Sinton 13. But quarterback Randy Flores, who had a game-best 108 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns, ran right, was stood up and had the ball stripped by DeRick Castro. Ramsey Rivera scooped it up and sped away untouched for an 83-yard touchdown and a 14-0 Pirates lead.
"That's what got us in trouble two weeks ago against Refugio," Robstown coach Doug Wood said. "We're down 14 when we could have been tied. You can't give up easy touchdowns to good football teams."
Courtesy of the 18-play drive, Sinton held a 21-7 lead in the third quarter. Midway through the quarter, the Pirates forced their second three-and-out possession of the game, pinning the Pickers at their own 4. Robstown tried a rugby-style punt, moving to the left, but John Reyes blocked the low attempt and the ball settled at the 15.
Three plays later, Cave scored his second touchdown of the game as his 4-yard run gave Sinton a 28-7 lead.
The teams traded touchdowns before the Pickers again marched inside the Sinton 20. Robstown made it to the 4 with five minutes remaining when Marc Perez forced a Flores fumble. The Pirates recovered to salt away the game.
"Philosophically, we have been a bend-but-don't-break type of defense since I've been here," Allen said. "We want people to take a bunch of snaps. Sooner or later they're going to make miscues. They make miscues on Sunday (in the NFL)."
Wood also used a pro analogy in describing his team's fate inside the 20.
"When you get down in that area, whether it's the Dallas Cowboys or high school, people tighten up," he said. "There's a smaller space. You're going to have an extra guy in the box you might not be able to block. But you can't make mistakes against this type of team."

Red Bull confirmed on Tuesday that former Honda technical chief Geoffrey Willis is to join the company as technical director. Willis, who will take up his post with Red Bull Technology on July 23, will report directly to chief technical officer Adrian Newey.
Willis's first sporting role was with the British America's Cup yacht team back in 1987, when he developed hull and keel designs using computational fluid dynamics.
He moved into Formula One racing soon after, joining the Leyton House team, before a five-year stint with Williams, where he worked for a period with Newey and eventually rose through the ranks to become chief aerodynamicist.
He moved to BAR in 2002 as technical director, but left the Honda team in August 2006. The 47-year-old engineer has since spent the past few months on gardening leave.
Red Bull have offered Mark Smith, who has been the team's technical director since January 2006, another senior position within the company.

Decided to buy a sixer while at the store, since I'm about to brew a batch soon. It was delicious. I'm surprised thay had it this early. Now I can brew that batch in confidence that I'll like the outcome.
What brewery?
Cool thanks
If you can get Dogfish Head, you have to try Punkin Ale. It is exceptional.

Personally I did not care for dogfish head's punkin...I didn't get much pumpkin flavor or spice character at all...taste like a standard brown ale to me...shipyard is good but needs more body. I have also tried this brand, my thunderstruck is in secondary right now, let's hope she meets the qualifications!
If you don't like it...We don't Care!
OK, I was at Albertson's today and I saw "America's Original" Pumpkin Ale. It's been a while since I've had this so i decided to pick up a sixer to refresh my taste buds. I must say it definitely has more body than some of the other pumpkin beer's I have had. Comparing it to Shipyard, I'd say It comes a little shy. Shipyard has that sweet pumpkin flavor compared to this which is more authentic. My only complaint with shipyard's is it's Body. I would purchase this beer again, however I would prefer others on the market.
I'm looking forward to this one:
I just took a sample taste, and it's not as good as I was hoping, it's really too dry. I think I should have masted it a little hotter. I wasn't expecting it to turn out so dark when I was mashing. The color (colour) all came from some unmalted oats I toasted in the broiler. Anyway it might be good after priming it with maple syrup. A week ago I thought I way over did the nutmeg and it was bitter trash, but that mellowed out.

What do you guys think?
First, you generally should safety check the gun you're about to take apart and take the MAGAZINE (not clip) out while doing this. Second, the part you called the bolt, was actually the bolt carrier. The bolt is the "this thing right here" at 4:02. It would also be wise to clean the bolt and the gas tube on a new gun before shooting it.Less profanities also recommended on an instructional video...
There are already a lot of field strip videos out there for the AK type rifles. Above critique pretty much sums it up as far as the technical gun side of things goes. Video production side if things: I would recommend good even lighting with a light background to make details more visible. Also do a rehearsal video, watch it and critique yourself, then make adjustments for the final version. Understand technical terms if making an instructional video.
Thank you for some heads up SSGN_Doc, and AleksiR, I also appreciate your input. I will buff up my vocab, and as far as profanities go, they slipped and I had lost my cord to connect my camera to my computer so I couldn't really edit it at all, and I just wanted to get a video up so my channel had something. so I uploaded it directly from my camera (phone)
Eh? Live and learn. Not many folks who produce a flawless product in the first try. I know I usually don't.

Springs Woman Recovering After Being Found Stuck In Bathtub
Friday, July 25, 2014
(Colorado Springs, CO) -- A Colorado Springs woman is recovering after being stuck in her bathtub for days. Police say they were called to her east side apartment on Wednesday night after a neighbor said they had not heard from her in some time. It's believed she fell into the tub and couldn't get out of it. The unnamed woman was disoriented and dehydrated and taken to a local hospital.

The motor armature rotates due to magnetic pulses created by a pulsating current that flows through the armature coil - these electromagnetic pulses interact with the rare earth neodymium permanent magnets (the "field" of the motor) and cause rotation to take place. The neodymium magnets are mounted on the sliding "direction and speed control" bar. Sliding the magnets under the armature gets the rotation started.
Step 2: Materials and tools
- paper towel
- paint can stirring stick
- 2 solid brass ceiling hooks 2-9/16 inches
- D battery - used for wire winding form
- 6 feet #22 enamelled magnet wire
- 3/4 inch thick soft wood base approximately 3-3/4 x 12 inches (pine works good)
- 4 neodymium magnets approximately 3/4 inch diameter
- double sided tape
- 4 AA alkaline batteries
- battery holder - connects 4 AA batteries in series for 6 volts
- 4 push pins
- 2 plastic beads
- small piece of plasticine (not shown)
- paper stapler
- pencil
- small awl or small Philips screwdriver (a drill and bit would work as well)
- wire cutting pliers
- utility knife
- speed square or plastic triangle
Very clever, and interesting use of some simple items. Thanks for sharing your motor.
I like the way you use the ceiling hook to support the coil. And it is a detailed instructable too in my opinion! I think i'm gonna make another one following your guides! And maybe you could also use paperclip as another easy to find yet cheap substitute for the ceiling hook. But it won't be sturdier as the ceiling hook, also i'm pretty sure that the neodymium magnet will be attracted to the paper clip.
Your right moimolpalamoi re paper clips. Another idea that I didn't try yet is using a long brass wood screw instead of the brass ceiling hooks. If you can find a slotted screw you have a great ready made holder for the axles. Plasticine would probably be needed here too but the screws would likely be cheaper than the hooks. I paid about $1 each for the hooks I used in this instructable.

YouTube to launch pay channels - report
Comment on this storyLos Angeles - A person familiar with the matter says YouTube is set to announce a series of channels that will require payment within a few weeks.
The content on the new pay-channels will be in addition to the millions of videos viewers watch for free on YouTube. It's not clear whether the paid videos will come with advertising.
The person was not authorised to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Financial Times reported earlier that viewers would be charged as little as $1.99 (about R20) a month for subscriptions.
In a statement, YouTube said it had "nothing to announce at this time" although it is looking into creating a "subscription platform" that provides its partners with a way to generate revenue beyond video rentals and placing ads in and around content. - Sapa-AP

A new novel of a shared past, a fresh start, and a lifetime of love.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts introduces you to the Montgomery brothers—Beckett, Ryder, and Owen—as they bring an intimate bed-and-breakfast to life in their hometown.
Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with an iron fist—and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers bust on his compulsive list-making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery McTavish…
Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation—and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.
As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected—and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last…
"America's favorite writer."
– The New Yorker"No one writes relationships as well as Ms. Roberts, with the subtleties and quirkiness of the give and take of friendship and romance."

Feedback on gameplay & suggestions
Id like to congratulate the game design team for the many elements of this game that make it truly unique and keep the star trek feel:
Ship systems
Bridge officer training
Captain training affecting ship and boff skills
The new duty officer, first officer and dept. Head system.
My feedback to the design team is that while all these elements are great on their own ...they weakly interact with each other so as to work as a whole to improve the game.
For example ship systems and bridge officers rarely interact unless its merely timer related. Brdige officers dont do anything on their own during starship combat... The new duty officer system only interacts with the ship and boff in the form of a weak buff.
Furthermore..and always a big gripe of mine on this game... Starship combat is extremely dumbed down to an arcade shooter despite having so many complex elements and structures to it. Ground combat has all the elements to become an excellent part of the game yet all it delivers is a mind numbing experience of very un-trekie like zerg rushing and firepower display.
Finally, there is little if any interactivity between sector space and the game...its like its just there for people to taxi from one point to another.
...but the game CAN improve/add upon and integrate all the above. All the elememts are in place they are just not linked!
Heres how to do it:
Starship combat:
First step: setting the pace of combat
Slow it down. Decrease shield and armor regeneration rates, decrease weapon damage, decrease ship speed and turn rates...and refire rate of weapons.
This needs a significant decrease in the pace of battle. The time that is added to combat is used by the player in the following steps.
Second step: bridge officer integration & the captain holding the reins (not micromanaging the battle)
Bridge officers should play an active role in the combat experience. To do this build up on the existing 'suggestion' system in place that the ships computer uses to tell you 'shields are down, power transfer recomended'.
Bridge officers are given the same ai npc ships are given. A new menu option for boffs will allow the player to set ai parameters / thresholds per every power the boff has trained. This parameter will tell the ai when it is ok to start suggesting a course of action to the capt. For example, a hull heal skill on the engineering boff can be set to kick in when hulk at 25% while a hull regen over time trigger at 75%. A 'critical' parameter setting is also available to tell the boff when to do the action automaticaly should the capt. Not answer or deny a request (yes your boff will disobey you and heal your 5% hull before you get them all killed)
When a bridge officer suggests something an icon comes up on his skill box that the captain can click to approve or dissaprove. If capt. Approves the action is carried out. if not the boff resets that skill's ai timer to suggest it again a minute later.
This system does away with much of the timer micromanagement, does away with the need for players to keep a three row tall power bar and adds a tremendous amount od trekkie feel.
Ship based powers like science ship subsystem targetting and all the captain ability powers are delegated to the appropiate boff to 'suggest'.
Finally, as a final means of linking the captain to the boff and the boff to the ship: add a macro-like feature where players can program a sequence of actions the ship and boff are to perform. This will enable complex maneuvers (think The Picard Maneuver...no, not the shirt tug, the one he pulled on the ferengi on the stargazer) in a way similar to how in all star trek series you see the capt and boffs planning out what to do and then doing it. That macro set would effectively become the captain's powers bar.
The capt then ends up with only five things to do: accept/deny suggestions, use his macro power bar, steer the ship, click on targets and control the weapons.
Note that this macro system works perfectly in other mmos like star wars galaxies (pre-nge), final fantasy xi and others.
Third step: integrate the ship crew (duty officers) into the mix.
The current dept. Head system is great. To integrate it with the starship combat all you need to do is expand the duty officer system into becoming a component of the ship itself...with duty officer abilities actively playing a part in the starship combat experience.
Add new ability stats to each duty officer. Stats like 'damage repair team' and 'battle station: shields'.
Create 'sections' menu in duty officer menu. Sections will show the starship layout similar to the screen where you load gear onto your ship. Except that rather than loading gear you are assigning crew to that particular gear piece you equipped. Duty officers assigned to a section will make use of their stat (if assigned to the right section) to provide a buff and in some cases automate certain functions.
For example the tactical team ability currently autobalances shields. Remove that boff ability. Assigning enough duty officers to the shield station will take over that role. Damage repair team doffs increase hull repair rate (native), security teams decrease chance of boarding party damaging that system,etc.
Assigning doff with appropiate station skills to ship's console devices can improve their performance.
Step four: making this work
Fine tuning is a critical part of the game. Combat cannot be too slow or its boring and boffs behaving like telemarketers is irritating. The key is to make the boff ai parameter settings per power be specific enough that each player can fine tune his crew to match his gameplay... After all its part of holding the reins!
Ground combat:
First of all...the avaliability of non canon weapons like minigun, pulsewave and such ruins the game. Itq really turns it into a cheap version of the defunct tabula rasa game.
Change it to the hand phasers, pistols, rifles, grenades, mines and melee weapons seen in the tv series and movies. Replace the non canon weapons with more diverse ground abilities that are canon. Turets and shield generators are a great example..add more things like that and more close combat moves for all characters.
As with space the first step to improve it is to slow it down.reduce the jog and run speeds... Increase the delay between shots, make melee combat consist of a long duration set of animations where 'autoattack damage' is inflicted with a CHANCE of the boff/player/npc pulling off a ground combat melee power attack that does increased damage. Close combat LOCKS characters into melee range and face each other automatically...that way npcs and boffs dont end up running around like chickens lit on fire.
Reduce the autofire damage and increase the damage of the weapon's special attack. Since healing abilities are also reduced this would make ground combat a LOT more tactical, playable and much more like canon trek ground battles.
Oh and if you devs could play some of the 'men of war' series and see how they made the movement/actions interface menu of the individual troops and adapt it into sto it would be grand.
Sector space:
Its vast, its awe inspiring, its my ship going at warp through the star trek universe.... So why doesnt anything happen there and why cant i do anything in it??
Sector space is an untapped source of trekkiness feel to the game. With it the devs could:
Add missions where you chase enemy contacts through it
Add more (and smaller) npc trade ships that fly the space lanes (blue arrows)
Add pirates/raiders/maquis flying around attacking npc starships.
Change the daily borg incursion event to be a number of borg cubes flying in sector space escorting the mothership all the way to SOL (or klingon homeworld) and players have to link up and intercept the escorts and cut a way to the motherrship and destroy it. This works since sector space is not broken into instances!
If the borg are not stopped they circle The homeworld making it inacessible for one hour and then they dissappear.

Now BabyBus has developed 70+ apps(for ipad/iphone)Once enter one of our apps, you will also see the other 50+ free apps On the Bus Body!
DIY creation has always been attracted to the babies. The main role of the game is the embossing machine.
Embossing machine is a tool to press the paper sheet depending on what type of pattern is needed. It makes us return to the real-life model and operation process. The interface is natural and warm to meet the baby's visual requirements. Baby also can choose one from the embossing models to press the pattern what he/she wants. And then put the pressed papers to rich the scene in the game, and adjust their positions to make a more beautiful product to share with friends. It does not only train the baby's practical and thinking ability, but also trains the baby's creativity and attention.
